Order to Cease and Desist, Order to Make Restitution, Notice of Intent

On October 28, 2011, the Banking Commissioner issued an Order to Cease and Desist, Order to Make Restitution, Notice of Intent to Fine and Notice of Right to Hearing against Movies for a Better World, LLC, a purported film, music and literary development company located at 1 Glenville Street, Greenwich, Connecticut. Also named in the action was Michael J. Martineau of 24 Pemberwick Road, Greenwich, Connecticut, president of the firm. The action alleged that, in 2009, the respondents offered and sold unregistered securities in violation of Section 36b-16 of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act, and that Michael J. Martineau transacted business as an unregistered agent of issuer. In addition, the action alleged that the respondents violated the antifraud provisions of the Act by failing to disclose to investors any risk factors related to the investment; financial information relating to the issuer or the performance of its prior development projects; financial or background information on the issuer’s principals; compensation paid to the issuer’s principals and affiliates; the estimated cash proceeds of the offering; how the offering proceeds would be applied; and material litigation involving the principals of the issuer.
The respondents were afforded an opportunity to request a hearing on the matters alleged in the action.
