The facts of Respondents' misconduct are described in the court's August 10, 2017, Amended Order Re: Motions for Summary Judgment, SEC v. Hui Feng, ECF No. 101: Respondents are immigration attorneys, who have been involved from 2010 through at least August 2017 in the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The EB-5 program was created by Congress in 1992 to stimulate the U.S. economy with investment from foreigners. Foreigners who invest $500,000 or $1,000,000 in a domestic commercial enterprise may petition the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and receive conditional permanent residency ("green card") status. Many EB-5 investments are administered by so-called "regional centers." The conduct underlying SEC v. Hui Feng included Respondents' receipt of undisclosed commissions from regional centers in connection with their clients' EB-5 program investments. Respondents failed to disclose to clients that they received commissions from regional centers for referring clients to invest in a regional center's offerings. Respondents also falsely represented to regional centers that foreign-based persons or entities were responsible for finding EB-5 investors, when in reality Feng's relatives or an entity controlled by him received commissions for referring clients. Respondents advertised for clients and promoted EB-5 projects on the internet and through Feng's website. Respondents performed due diligence regarding EB-5 projects, were involved in negotiations between regional centers and clients, and recommended specific regional centers to clients. As of February 2015, Feng began to disclose that he would receive referral fees in the engagement agreements clients signed prior to retaining Feng's legal services. As a result of SEC v. Hui Feng, some regional centers refused to do business with Respondents and their foreign-based entity, and Feng created a new law firm and a new foreign-based entity in which he has a 50% ownership interest. 

According to the Commission's official records and FINRA records: Neither Respondent has ever been registered as, or associated with a registered broker-dealer or other registrant. 

On August 10, 2017, Respondents were enjoined from violating Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. They were ordered to pay disgorgement of ill-gotten gains of $1,268,000 plus prejudgment interest of $130,517.09 for a total of $1,398,517.09, for which they are jointly and severally liable; Feng was ordered to pay a civil penalty of $160,000; and Law Offices of Feng & Associates was ordered to pay a civil penalty of $800,000. SEC v. Hui Feng, ECF No. 102. 

UniCredit Bank AG Agrees to Plead Guilty for Illegally Processing Transactions in Violation of Iranian Sanctions / UniCredit Group Banks agree to Pay Over $1.3 Billion for Violating Sanctions (DOJ Release)

UniCredit Bank AG ("UCB AG") operating under the name of HypoVereinsbank entered a guilty plea to conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act  ("IEEPA") and to defraud the United States by processing hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions through the U.S. financial system on behalf of an entity designated as a weapons of mass destruction proliferator and other Iranian entities subject to U.S. economic sanctions. Also, UniCredit Bank Austria ("BA") agreed to forfeit $20 million and entered into a non-prosecution agreement to resolve an investigation into its violations of IEEPA. The parent of UCB AG and BA, UniCredit SpA, agreed to ensure that UCB AG and BA's obligations are fulfilled. Further, UCB AG entered into a plea agreement with the New York County District Attorney's Office ("DANY") for violating New York State law pursuant to which it will pay $316,545,816. Similarly, BA entered into a non-prosecution agreement with DANY for violating New York State law. Moreover, UniCredit SpA, UCB AG and BA entered into settlement agreements with the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) and the New York State Department of Financial Services ("DFS") under which they will pay $611,023,421 to OFAC, which will be satisfied in part by payments to the Justice Department and the Federal Reserve' $157,770,000 to the Federal Reserve; and $405 million to DFS. As set forth in part in the DOJ Release:

[O]ver the course of almost 10 years, UCB AG knowingly and willfully moved at least $393 million through the U.S. financial system on behalf of sanctioned entities, most of which for an entity the U.S. Government specifically prohibited from accessing the U.S. financial system.  UCB AG engaged in this criminal conduct through a scheme, formalized in its own bank polices and designed to conceal from U.S. regulators and banks the involvement of sanctioned entities in certain transactions.  UCB AG routed illegal payments through U.S. financial institutions for the benefit of the sanctioned entities in ways that concealed the involvement of the sanctioned entities, including through the use of companies that UCB AG knew would appear unconnected to the sanctioned entity despite being controlled by the sanctioned entity.
