Securities Business in Connecticut; Fined $5,000
On August 14, 2002, the Commissioner entered a Consent Order with respect to Edward Blasco of 128 East Liberty Street, Danbury, Connecticut.

(now known as PLX Technology, Inc.) Series C preferred stock. The Consent Order also alleged that Blasco violated Section 36b-6(a) of the Act by transacting business in Connecticut as an unregistered agent of issuer.
The Consent Order permanently barred Blasco from transacting business in Connecticut as an investment adviser, investment adviser agent, broker-dealer or agent and fined him $5,000. In addition, the Consent Order directed Blasco to provide to the Division within 30 days 1) an itemized accounting showing the number of shares due to each Connecticut investor; and 2) evidence that the transfer agent had effected the transfer of those shares to the investors involved.
