Section IX: Expanded Evidence Detail – Securities Fraud
🔍 Overview of Allegation
ECI Development is alleged to have illegally sold shares of its company to Canadian and American citizens without proper registration, disclosure, or compliance with national securities laws. These actions may constitute fraudulent solicitation, unregistered trading, and violations of anti-money laundering protocols.

📁 Key Evidence
1. Unregistered Entity
- Shares were issued under a company name allegedly based in Belize.
- Upon investigation, this entity does not exist in Belize’s public business registry.
- No legal address or business credentials were provided on the share certificates.
2. Lack of Prospectus
- No prospectus was filed with Canadian or U.S. securities regulators.
- ECI Development does not qualify for exemption under private placement or accredited investor rules.
- Investors were not given proper disclosures about risk, financials, or governance.
3. Violation of Canadian Securities Law
- Canadian law prohibits the promotion or sale of securities to non-accredited investors without registration.
- You, Mark, have stated you do not meet the criteria for an accredited investor.
- This places the transaction outside legal bounds and exposes you to unintended tax and legal risk.
4. Violation of U.S. Securities Law
- U.S. citizens were allegedly solicited without SEC registration.
- No Form D or Regulation D exemption appears to have been filed.
- ECI Development may have accepted profits from U.S. investors without reporting to the SEC.
5. KYC & AML Failures
- No Know Your Customer (KYC) verification was conducted.
- No Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols were followed.
- This opens the door to international laundering risks and regulatory scrutiny.
