Teo, Sr., and ten of his relatives, friends and colleagues who collectively received approximately $1.8 million in illicit profits from insider trading in the securities of Musicland Stores Corporation (Musicland) and C-Cube Microsystems, Inc. (C-Cube). The Commission charged violations of Sections 10(b), 13(d), 14(e) and 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13d-1, 13d-2, 14e-3, and 16a-3 thereunder. The Commission seeks the following relief from the defendants: (a) permanent injunctions; (b) disgorgement of all illicit profits; (c) civil penalties; and (d) and officer and director bars against Teo and Rosen. The Commission filed its complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The Commission also announced that it reached settlements with Fortune, Johnston and Rosen. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission's complaint, Fortune Johnston and Rosen each consented to final judgments that permanently enjoined them, ordered them to disgorge their illicit profits plus prejudgment interest, and imposed a civil penalty equal to the illicit profits they obtained. Rosen also agreed to the entry of an order barring him from serving as an officer or director for five years. The Commission expresses its appreciation to the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. for their substantial assistance in the investigation of this matter. [SEC v. Alfred S.
