SettledFiled: October 1, 2018

Raimund Gastauer allegedly received approximately $3.3 million in proceeds from an international scheme that generated more than $165 million from sales of stock of at least 50 microcap companies. Michael Gastauer allegedly used his six entities' U.S. bank accounts to disburse the proceeds of those stock sales. In late 2017 through early 2018, Michael Gastauer allegedly transferred approximately $3.3 million of the proceeds to Raimund Gastauer or accounts held for Raimund Gastauer's benefit. According to the complaint, Knox used Wintercap SA to conceal sellers' stock ownership by providing them anonymous access to offshore brokerage accounts.
