Cease and Desist
Criminal Activity
On April 12, 2000, Kevin Roser was sentenced to two years incarceration and ordered to pay restitution in Franklin County Common Pleas Court. On February 1, 2000, Roser pleaded guilty to six counts of felony securities law violations. The violations resulted from Roser's activities in connection with Ohio Business Consultants and University Businesses Incorporated. Roser had been indicted on 15 counts in April 1996. He was arraigned shortly thereafter, but then fled. Last year he was arrested in Summit County on different charges, and currently is incarcerated at the Pickaway Correctional Institution.
Anthony Thomas Newmans criminal trial in Lake County Common Pleas Court has been continued until May 23, 2000. A Lake County grand jury indicted Anthony Thomas Newman, a Mentor, Ohio insurance agent, on January 28, 2000, on three felony counts of the sale of unregistered securities and three felony counts of selling securities while unlicensed as a securities dealer. Newman was charged with selling unregistered promissory notes to three investors totaling $230,000.000 in First Lenders Indemnity Corporation (FLIC), a company that subsequently went into bankruptcy. Two of the promissory notes sold by Newman totaled $100,000.00 each, and two of the investors were elderly. The Division had issued a Cease and Desist Order against FLIC on May 10, 1999, for selling unregistered promissory notes and failing to disclose material facts to Ohio investors.
