UNITED  STATES  ATTORNEY'S OFFICE INDICTS TWO SUED BY SEC FOR SECURITIES  LAW
VIOLATIONS

     The   Commission  announced  that  on  February  21  the  United  States
     Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida (USAO) unsealed a
     35  count indictment against Paul R. Johnson, the president and  CEO  of
     Link  Express  Delivery Solutions, Inc. (LEDS), and John  Cook  II,  the
     owner   of   Argus   Securities,   Inc.,  a   securities   broker-dealer
     headquartered in New Port Richey, Florida.  The Commission had  filed  a
     civil  complaint against Johnson, Cook, and others on December 12, 2001,
     alleging  that they illegally raised over $15.5 million from nearly  400
     investors for LEDS, a South Florida package delivery service.
     
     The  indictment  charges  Johnson and Cook  with  conspiracy  to  commit
     securities  fraud,  securities fraud, and  conspiracy  to  commit  money
     laundering.   The indictment also charges Johnson with money laundering,
     conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and perjury.  One perjury count charges
     Johnson with making false declarations during a hearing to freeze assets
     in the Commission's case against him.
     
     The  indictment charges Johnson and Cook with fraudulently raising funds
     for  LEDS  and  its  successors and related  businesses  Link  Worldwide
     Logistics,  Pony  Express Logistics, and Silver  State  Vending  (OTCBB:
     SVEA).   The  indictment  also charges that  Johnson  and  Cook  induced
     investors  to  purchase  stock by falsely representing  that  all  funds
     raised  would  be  used for operating, acquisition,  and  administrative
     expenses  associated with LEDS's package delivery service, when  Johnson
     actually  used  the money for himself, his close friends and  relatives,
     and  his own personal ventures.  The Commission's complaint is based  on
     the  same misconduct described in the USAO's indictment (SEC v. Paul  R.
     Johnson, et al., Case No. 01-7874-CIV-Hurley, SDFla.).  [U.S. v. Paul R.
     Johnson,  et al., Criminal Action No. 02-60012-CR-Ferguson,  SDFL]  (LR-
     17375)

SEC v. LARRY TYLER, ADVANCED FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., ET AL.

     On  February  21, Judge Jorge Solis of the United States District  Court
     for  the Northern District of Texas granted the Commission's application
     for  a  preliminary injunction and the appointment of a receiver against
     defendants  Larry  W.  Tyler, of Fort Worth,  Texas,  and  his  company,
     Advanced   Financial   Services,  Inc.  (AFS),   a   Texas   corporation
     headquartered in Fort Worth.  The Court found that Tyler  and  AFS  made
     material  misrepresentations  and omissions  that  "were  unquestionably
     deliberate and clearly intentional" in connection with fraudulent  sales
     of  AFS-issued investments backed by viaticals. (Viaticals are interests
     in  the  death  benefits  of insurance policies insuring  the  lives  of
     terminally  ill persons.)  The Court further stated that Tyler  and  AFS
     made  "false guarantees about the investments' liquidity, interest rates
     and  `fixed'  maturity  dates" and that Tyler  failed  to  disclose  his
     commissions  for  the  sales.   Thus,  the  Court  concluded  that   the
     "Defendants'  actions adequately demonstrate an intentional  pattern  to
     deceive."   In addition to the granting of a preliminary injunction  and
     the  appointment of a receiver, the court also ordered an  asset  freeze
     and  an interim accounting, prohibited the alteration or destruction  of
     documents and authorized expedited discovery.

     The  Commission alleged in its complaint, filed February 11, 2002,  that
     since  May  1998,  the defendants raised at least $30 million  and  that
     Tyler personally reaped over $5.2 million in undisclosed commissions, by
     fraudulently  enticing  more  than 480  mostly  elderly  investors  into
     purchasing  investments issued by his company, AFS.   According  to  the
     Commission,  Tyler deceived the elderly investors with false  guarantees
     about  the  AFS investment's liquidity, above-market interest rates  and
     "fixed"  maturity dates.  Tyler used investors' funds to  buy  viaticals
     which  rendered  the guarantees false because, by definition,  viaticals
     are  illiquid  investments with no fixed maturity  dates  and  uncertain
     rates of return.  Tyler hid the fact that the underlying viaticals could
     not  fulfill  the promises that he had made to investors  and  that  the
     investors had to rely on him and AFS to carry through on the promises of
     guaranteed  returns, fixed maturities and liquidity.  Two  weeks  before
     the Commission filed its suit, Tyler and AFS both filed for bankruptcy.

     The  Commission also named as relief defendants in its action two Tyler-
     controlled  limited partnerships, Granbury Plaza Ltd.  (Granbury  Plaza)
     and  Benbrook  Lake  L.P. (Benbrook Lake), and a Tyler-controlled  Texas
     corporation,  FWLT  Holding  Company  (FWLT).   The  relief   defendants
     received  investor  funds  totaling $116,000, $1,000,000  and  $325,000,
     respectively.   The  court also subjected the relief defendants  to  his
     receivership  order and further ordered an asset freeze of their  assets
     and  an  interim  accounting.  The Commission seeks the  return  of  all
     investor funds received, with pre-judgment interest.

     In  its  complaint, the Commission charges Tyler and AFS with  violating
     the  antifraud  provisions of the federal securities laws, specifically,
     Section  17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section  10(b)  of  the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.  In addition,
     the  Commission charges the defendants with violations of the securities
     registration  provisions, Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities  Act.
     The Commission also seeks disgorgement with pre-judgment interest and  a
     civil  money  penalty against the defendants.  Further,  the  Commission
     seeks  an  order finding that Tyler is in violation of a May  17,  2001,
     Order  to  Cease  and Desist entered in the Matter of  Larry  W.  Tyler,
     Administrative  Proceeding  File  No.  3-10487.   In  its   order,   the
     Commission  barred  Tyler from association with a securities  broker  or
     dealer for defrauding investors, most of whom - as in the instant action
     - were elderly.

     The  Commission would like to thank the Texas State Securities Board for
     its  assistance in the investigation of this matter.  [SEC v.  Larry  W.
     Tyler,  Advanced Financial Services, Inc., et al., USDC,  ND\TX,  Dallas
     Division, Civil Action No. 3:02-CV-0282-P] (LR-17376)
     
SEC SUES MARK RICE FOR FALSE INTERNET TOUTING
     
     On February 22, the Commission filed a federal court action against Mark
     E. Rice d/b/a Primex Capital (Rice).  The Commission's complaint alleges
     that  between September 1999 and July 2000, Rice carried out  "pump  and
     dump"  schemes  to  manipulate  the stock of  four  microcap  companies,
     including  defendant Status Wines of Tuscany f/k/a Portalzone.com,  Inc.
     (Portalzone). According to the Commission's complaint, the  schemes  for
     all four companies involved issuing unsolicited fraudulent "spam" e-mail
     messages.    The  Commission's  complaint  further  alleges   that   for
     Portalzone  and another company, the schemes also involved  manipulative
     trading  by  Rice and issuing fraudulent press releases  or  promotional
     materials.    According  to  the  Commission's  complaint,   the   false
     statements   concerned,   among  other  things,   Portalzone's   product
     (purportedly  an  advanced Internet search engine), its revenue  sources
     and  business relationships with third parties, as well as Rice's stock-
     picking  track record and trading intentions. Moreover, the Commission's
     complaint  alleges  that the schemes enabled Rice,  and  his  alter  ego
     entities,  proposed relief defendants Primex (USA),  Inc.  (Primex)  and
     Applegate Sentry, S.A. (Applegate), to sell restricted stock of three of
     the  four companies into the resulting inflated market for total profits
     of approximately $900,367.

     The  Commission's complaint, filed in the U.S. District  Court  for  the
     Southern  District of Texas, alleges that Rice violated  Sections  5(a),
     5(c)  and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act),  Section
     10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-
     5  thereunder,  and Regulation M, Rule 101.  As to Rice,  the  complaint
     seeks  an injunction against Rice and disgorgement, prejudgment interest
     and  third-tier  civil penalties, and as to the two  relief  defendants,
     disgorgement and prejudgment interest.  Without admitting or denying the
     Commission's allegations, Rice has consented to the entry  of  an  order
     that would enjoin him from future violations of the foregoing provisions
     and  directing  him to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest  in  an
     amount  to  be  determined  after  the completion  of  the  Commission's
     discovery  in  this action; and in which he would agree to  the  Court's
     continuing  jurisdiction over the action for the purpose of  determining
     whether to assess civil penalties against him. [SEC v. Mark E. Rice,  et
     al., Civ. Action No. 4:02CV00636  (USDC, SD\TX] (LR-17377)
     
COMMISSION  CHARGES  JOHN  CASSESE WITH INSIDER TRADING  IN  SHARES  OF  DATA
PROCESSING RESOURCES CORPORATION

     The Commission announced today that it has filed and settled a complaint
     against  John  J.  Cassese  (Cassese), the  chairman  and  president  of
     Computer  Horizons Corporation (Computer Horizons), in Federal Court  in
     Los  Angeles.  The Commission's complaint alleges that Cassese  violated
     Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)  and
     Rule  14e-3  thereunder by engaging in insider trading in the  stock  of
     Data  Processing  Resources Corporation (DPRC) while  in  possession  of
     material, nonpublic information about a tender offer for DPRC  stock  by
     Compuware  Corporation (Compuware).  The settlement provides,  in  part,
     that  Cassese  will  pay  a total of more than  $300,000  in  ill-gotten
     trading  profits,  interest and civil penalties.   During  the  relevant
     period, Computer Horizon's, DPRC's and Compuware's shares all traded  on
     the   NASDAQ-NMS  under  the  ticker  symbols  CHRZ,  DPRC   and   CPWR,
     respectively.
     
     The  complaint  alleges  that Cassese learned that  Compuware  would  be
     acquiring  DPRC three days before the public announcement of the  tender
     offer  from Compuware's Chairman and CEO.  The day after Cassese learned
     of   the   material,  non-public  information  regarding   the   pending
     acquisition  of DPRC, he purchased 15,000 DPRC shares.  After  Compuware
     and  DPRC  publicly announced the acquisition on June 24,  1999,  DPRC's
     share  price rose to $23.375 per share, a 91% increase from the previous
     day's  close  of  $12.25  per share.  Cassese  sold  all  15,000  shares
     immediately after the public announcement of the acquisition,  realizing
     a profit of $150,937.50.
     
     Without  admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint,  Cassese
     consented to the entry of a final judgment that would permanently enjoin
     him from future violations of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule
     14e-3  thereunder.  Cassese also agreed to disgorge $150,937.50 in  ill-
     gotten gains, plus prejudgment interest, and will pay a civil penalty of
     $150,937.50.
     
     The  Commission acknowledges the assistance provided by NASD Regulation,
     Inc. in connection with this matter.  [SEC v. Cassese, Civil Action  No.

SEC SUES CHRISTINA SKOUSEN FOR WRITING FALSE ANALYST REPORTS
     
     On  February  22,  the Commission filed a federal court  action  against
     California  resident Christina Skousen, individually and doing  business
     as CSK Securities Research.

     The  Commission's complaint alleged that between May 1999  and  December
     2000,  Skousen,  a  self-styled  "analyst,"  wrote  fraudulent  research
     reports  touting eight microcap companies.  Skousen's reports for  seven
     of  the  companies  contained false and misleading revenue,  income  and
     earnings.  The revenue projections exceeded the companies' most recently
     reported  revenue  figures  by as much as  260,913%,  and  exceeded  the
     companies' most recently reported income figures by as much as  30,089%.
     Skousen's  reports  additionally failed to  disclose  that  six  of  the
     companies  required  significant additional  financing,  which  was  not
     assured,  to  implement their business plans or continue  in  operation.
     Skousen's  reports for the same seven companies also contained arbitrary
     projected  stock  prices,  which exceeded the companies'  current  stock
     prices  by as much as 18,650%.  Skousen, who typically was paid in  cash
     for  all  of the reports, failed to disclose her receipt of compensation
     in two instances where she personally published the reports.
     
     The  Commission's complaint alleges that Skousen violated Section  17(b)
     of  the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange
     Act  of  1934  and  Rule  10b-5  thereunder.   The  complaint  seeks  an
     injunction  against Skousen and disgorgement of $30,000 and  prejudgment
     interest  and third-tier civil penalties.  Without admitting or  denying
     the  Commission's allegations, Skousen has consented to the entry of  an
     order  that  would  enjoin her from future violations of  the  foregoing
     provisions  and  directing  her  to  pay  disgorgement  and  prejudgment
     interest.   Under the proposed order, Skousen would not be  required  to
     pay  disgorgement or civil penalties based on her demonstrated inability
     to  pay.  [SEC v. Christina Skousen, Civ. Action No. C02-894 VRW  (USDC,
     N.D. Cal.)] (LR-17379)
