United States DC Circuit

In a petition for review of an order by the Securities and Exchange Commission, in which the SEC found petitioner liable for various violations of the securities laws and imposed heavy sanctions on him, the petition is denied where: 1) the record overwhelmingly demonstrated that petitioner paid an official in return for state business; and 2) the SEC's cease-and-desist order was not a "fine, penalty, or forfeiture" covered by the five-year statute of limitations in 28 U.S.C. section 2462.
