SECURITIES AND BUSINESS INVESTMENTS DIVISION ACTIVITY
Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Intent to Fine Issued
On January 11, 2011, the Banking Commissioner issued an Order to Cease and Desist, Notice of Intent to Fine and Notice of Right to Hearing against Mortgage and Credit Solutions, LLC of 155 North College Avenue, Suite 220, Fort Collins, Colorado, and Sean Patrick Moriarty, its sole owner and managing member.  The action alleged that, from at least June 2008 forward, the respondents offered and sold unregistered business opportunities to Connecticut purchaser-investors in violation of the Connecticut Business Opportunity Investment Act.  The business opportunity in question would enable purchasers to start a mortgage and credit counseling business.  The respondents allegedly represented that they would provide marketing support to purchaser-investors as well as an income guarantee.  The respondents were afforded an opportunity to request a hearing on the Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Intent to Fine.
