Order Imposing Fine

On July 6, 2021, the Banking Commissioner entered an Order Imposing Fine (Docket No. CF-21-8397-S) against Jax Acquisitions II LLC of 2101 Vista Parkway, Suite 125, West Palm Beach, Florida. The company's main business was to raise money to acquire and renovate a multi-family property in Jacksonville, Florida. Jax Acquisitions II LLC did not appear or contest the Commissioner's imposition of the fine, and the order was entered by default.

Jax Acquisitions II LLC had been the subject of an April 9, 2021 Order to Cease and Desist, Notice of Intent to Fine and Notice of Right to Hearing alleging that, beginning in 2010, the company violated Section 36b-16 of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act by selling unregistered limited liability company units to three Connecticut investors. The Order to Cease and Desist, being uncontested, had become permanent on June 7, 2021.

The July 6, 2021 Order Imposing Fine adopted the allegations in the April 9, 2021 action as findings, and imposed a $100,000 fine against Jax Acquisitions II LLC.
