GRAYSON PRELIMINARILY ENJOINED The Los Angeles Regional Office announced that on April 26 the Honorable Cynthia H. Hall, U.S. District Judge for the Central District of California, issued a prelimi- nary injunction against Steven R. Grayson which, among other things, prohibits him from committiRg further violations of the antifraud provisions of the securities laws, and transferring or dissipating assets while the Court's Order is in effect. The Court found that Grayson, a municipal securities salesman, had violated Section 17(a) (1) and (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section lOeb) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-S thereunder, in connection with the offer and sale of municipal bonds. Specifically, the Court found that Grayson had obtained from his employer $150,000 worth of municipal bearer bonds through a fraudulent representation that he planned to deliver them to a customer. In fact, Grayson neither delivered the bonds to the customer nor returned them to the firm. In addition, the court found that Grayson had induced his retail customers to turn over to him at least $1.6 million worth of municipal bearer bonds on the represen- tation that he would upgrade the bonds and return them to the customers. Instead, the bonds were sold through a nominee account and neither the proceeds of the sales nor any new bonds were returned to the customers. Judge Hall has not yet set a date for trial on the permanent injunction. {SEC v. Steven R. Grayson, U.S.D.C, C.D. Cal., Civil Action No. 82-0453-CHH, Tx).
