In April 2015 the SEC settled administrative proceedings against Kevin Miller, finding that as the named sole officer of Mobieyes Software, Inc. he let it file registration papers that hid its undisclosed controlling promoters. He was ordered to disgorge $10,000, of which only $5,000 is payable.

A dash means the release did not state a figure we could extract, not that the figure is zero. Penalty and disgorgement are stored separately so aggregates across the library do not double-count the same dollars.

What is alleged to have happened

The Securities and Exchange Commission instituted and settled this proceeding on April 16, 2015 as Securities Act release 9750, without admission or denial by Miller.

Miller was the named sole officer, director and majority shareholder of Mobieyes Software, a Florida shell that registered a $30,000 offering in 2009. The order finds its filings claimed he had capitalized and controlled the company when at least three undisclosed promoters did, and that the stated mobile-software business plan was never pursued. He was promised a $10,000 flat fee on its sale, and control changed hands in February 2010.

This library tags the matter as undisclosed control blocks because the order finds that the shell was controlled by persons its filings never named. The tagging is ours, not the regulator's: agencies charge statutory provisions, not technique names.

The order requires Miller to cease and desist from the antifraud and reporting provisions and bars him from serving as an officer or director of a public reporting company and from penny-stock offerings. The order sets disgorgement of $10,000 and interest of $1,652.20 but waives payment of all but $5,000 on his sworn statement of financial condition. The record keeps the $10,000 ordered figure.
