BCSC Panel Finds That B.C. Company and Three B.C. Residents Engaged in Illegal Distribution

(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/04/15 -- A British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) panel has found that Wireless Wizard Technologies Inc. (WWTI), Raymond Michael Roger Sasseville, Edith Marie Sasseville, and Richard Keller illegally distributed securities of WWTI.
Raymond Sasseville was involved in senior management of WWTI. Edith Sasseville was a director and, from time to time, the President of the company. Keller was WWTI's Chief Financial Officer. All three are B.C. residents, and none have ever been registered to sell securities under the Securities Act. WWTI's business was to develop and market a global positioning system (GPS) for motorcycles, and a wireless technology for conducting sales via text message. The company has never filed a prospectus in B.C
In its decision, the panel found that WWTI and Keller illegally distributed securities by distributing a WWTI convertible debenture to an investor (known as "Investor A") for total proceeds of $10,000 without being registered, without a prospectus, and for which no exemptions were available.
The panel also found that WWTI, Ray Sasseville, and Keller illegally distributed securities by distributing a WWTI convertible debenture to an investor (known as "Investor B") for total proceeds of US$47,500 without being registered, without a prospectus, and for which no exemptions were available.
Furthermore, the panel found that Edith and Ray Sasseville breached securities law by authorizing, permitting and acquiescing in the distributions of the WWTI convertible debentures to Investor A and Investor B.
The panel dismissed allegations pertaining to distributions that took place prior to December 18, 2007, as they found them to be outside of the allowable limitation period under the Securities Act.
The panel directed the parties to make submissions on sanctions according to the schedule set out in the findings.
