Ascenzi of Silverdale, pennsylvania in a two-count indictment alleging wire fraud and the filing of false documents with a bank having deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The indictment alleges that Ascenzi fraudulently obtained $625,000 from the proceeds of an industrial revenue bond issue by the City of West Memphis, Arkansas for the benefit of Maphis Chapman Corporation of Arkansas. It is alleged that Ascenzi, an officer of Maphis Chapman, represented to the bond trustee that Maphis Chapman had purchased $625,000 of manufac- turing equipment and was entitled to reimbursement from the proceeds of the bond issue when in fact no such equipment had been acquired. Ascenzi was enjoined, by consent, in a civil injunctive action brought by the Commission in 1984 relating to the West Memphis bonds. (U.S. v. Charles J.
