Consent Order
On April 3, 2008, the Commissioner entered a Consent Order with respect to Bayou Technologies, Inc. and Steven O. Canady, both of 1170 Peachtree Street, Suite 1200, Atlanta, Georgia.  The respondents had been the subject of a June 15, 2007 Order to Cease and Desist, Notice of Intent to Fine and Notice of Right to Hearing alleging that, between 2003 and 2005, respondent Bayou Technologies, Inc., through respondent Canady, sold unregistered shares of its common stock to Connecticut investors in violation of Section 36b-16 of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act.  The action had also alleged that, in contravention of Section 36b-6 of the Act, respondent Bayou Technologies, Inc. employed respondent Canady as an unregistered agent of issuer, and that respondent Canady transacted business in such capacity.  The Consent Order rendered the June 15, 2007 Order to Cease and Desist permanent, and acknowledged the respondents’ representation that Bayou Technologies, Inc. had offered rescission to each Connecticut investor who had purchased unregistered stock.  In addition, the Consent Order fined respondent Bayou Technologies, Inc. $10,000.
