Case No. 2:14-cv-2334-CAS-MRW
[PROPOSED] PRELIMINARY
INJUNCTION, APPOINTMENT
OF A PERMANENT RECEIVER,
AND RELATED ORDERS
This matter came before the Court upon the Order to Show Cause Re
1
2
Preliminary Injunction and Appointment of a Permanent Receiver. On April 4, 2014,
3
Defendants World Capital Market Inc.; WCM777 Inc.; WCM777 Ltd. d/b/a
4
WCM777 Enterprises, Inc.; and Ming Xu, and Relief Defendant Manna Source
5
International, Inc., filed a statement of non-opposition. None of the remaining relief
6
defendants filed any opposition to the requested relief. On April 10, 2014, the Court
7
held a hearing on this matter.
The Court previously considered the SEC’s Complaint, the TRO Application,
8
9
the supporting Memorandum of Points and Authorities, the supporting declarations
10
and exhibits, and other evidence presented to the Court. The Court further finds that
11
there is no opposition to entry of a preliminary injunction and appointment of a
12
permanent receiver over Defendants World Capital Market Inc., WCM777 Inc., and
13
WCM777 Ltd. d/b/a WCM777 Enterprises, Inc., and Relief Defendants Kingdom
14
Capital Market, LLC; Manna Holding Group, LLC; Manna Source International, Inc.;
15
WCM Resources, Inc.; and their subsidiaries and affiliates. The Court therefore
16
finds:
17
A.
this action.
18
19
This Court has jurisdiction over the parties to, and the subject matter of,
B.
The SEC has made a sufficient and proper showing in support of the
20
relief granted herein, as required by Section 20(b) of the Securities Act
21
of 1933 (“Securities Act”) (15 U.S.C. § 77t(b)) and Section 21(d) of the
22
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) (15 U.S.C. § 78u(b))
23
by evidence establishing a prima facie case and reasonable likelihood
24
that Defendants World Capital Market Inc.; WCM777 Inc.; WCM777
25
Ltd. d/b/a WCM777 Enterprises, Inc.; and Ming Xu a/k/a Phil Ming Xu
26
have engaged in, are engaging in, are about to engage in, and will
27
continue to engage in unless restrained transactions, acts, practices and
28
courses of business that constitute violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) of the
1
1
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77e(a), 77e(c)); Section17(a) of the
2
Securities Act (15 U.S.C. § 77q(a)); and Section 10(b) of the Securities
3
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. § 78j(b)) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder
4
(17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5) and that Relief Defendants Kingdom Capital
5
Market, LLC; Manna Holding Group, LLC; Manna Source International,
6
Inc.; WCM Resources, Inc.; Aeon Operating, Inc.; and PMX Jewels, Ltd.
7
are in possession of the proceeds of those violations and have been
8
unjustly enriched.
9
C.
Good cause exists to believe that, unless restrained and enjoined by order
10
of this Court, Defendants and Relief Defendants will dissipate, conceal,
11
or transfer assets which could be the subject to an order directing
12
disgorgement or the payment of civil money penalties in this action.
13
D.
Good cause exists to believe that, unless restrained and enjoined by order
14
of this Court, Defendants may alter or destroy documents relevant to this
15
action.
16
E.
Good cause exists to believe that alternative service is necessary.
