SECURITIES AND BUSINESS INVESTMENTS DIVISION ACTIVITY
Consent Order Conditioning Registration as an Investment Adviser Issued
On September 1, 2004, the Commissioner entered a Consent Order Conditioning Registration as an Investment Adviser with respect to Christopher L. Bakowski d/b/a CLB Financial, an applicant for investment adviser registration located at 335 Rocky Rapids Road, Stamford, Connecticut. The Consent Order was based on allegations that, from at least July 1997, Christopher L. Bakowski transacted business as an investment adviser absent registration as such under the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act. The Consent Order required that Christopher L. Bakowski 1) cease and desist from engaging in violative conduct; 2) obtain a written advisory interpretation from the department prior to relying on any exemption from investment adviser registration or any definitional exclusion; 3) provide clients with written notice of the Consent Order within 30 days; 4) file quarterly reports concerning any securities-related complaints involving Connecticut residents for two years; and 5) remit $11,050 to the department. Of that amount, $10,000 constituted an administrative fine for failing to register as an investment adviser from 1997 to 2003, and $1,050 represented reimbursement for past due registration fees.
EFFECTIVE REGULATIONS
Effective August 31, 2004, the Department adopted new regulations concerning administrative procedures.
John P. Burke
Commissioner
