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 announced this matter on November 20, 2024 as litigation release 26174. The defendants in the 2021 complaint are Timothy Page, Trevor Page and nominee entities Wellesley Holdings Limited, Porrima Limited, Emergent Investment Company, FJ Investments International Inc. and Ticino Capital Limited, with Janan Page as relief defendant. The judgment of November 14, 2024, entered by default, orders Timothy Page to pay the figures stated here, and Wellesley, Porrima and Emergent to pay disgorgement, interest and equal penalties (for example $1,928,907 disgorgement and a matching penalty for Wellesley). FJ Investments settled in 2022, the claims against Ticino were dismissed without prejudice in 2023, and the case against Trevor Page continues. The record previously showed the matter as dismissed and named no respondents; only the claim against Ticino was dismissed.

This library tags the matter as boiler rooms, undisclosed control blocks, based on the conduct the document describes. The tagging is ours, not the regulator's: agencies charge statutory provisions, not technique names.

For the regulator's own account of the facts, read the primary document linked above. This page deliberately summarises the structured record rather than reproducing the release.

What technique is this, and how does it work?

This action is tagged with 2 techniques in our taxonomy. The tagging is ours: regulators charge statutory provisions, not technique names, so the mapping is an editorial judgement described in our editorial policy.

Same matter

The library links these 2 records because they appear to concern one matter: the same lead defendant, an overlapping technique tag and close filing dates, or a shared court docket or a release that cites the other. Records are listed by date filed.

This grouping is the library's, made by matching names, techniques, dates and citations when the site is built. It is not the regulator's or a court's determination that the records are one case, and it errs towards missing a link rather than making a false one.
