CAUTION
Anatoli Tsoura, Semion Mogilevich, and Igor
L'Vovich Fisherman are all wanted for their alleged participation
in a multi-million dollar scheme to defraud investors in the stock of
YBM Magnex International, Inc. (YBM), a public company incorporated in
Canada, but headquartered in Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Investors
lost more than 150 million dollars through the alleged scheme that included
inflating stock values, preparing bogus financial books and records, lying
to Securities and Exchange Commission officials, and offering bribes to
accountants. The scheme to defraud collapsed on May 13, 1998, when federal
search warrants were executed in Pennsylvania and trading of the YBM stock
was suspended by the Ontario Securities Exchange. A federal indictment,
issued for the men on April 24, 2003, in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, charges them all with 45 counts of racketeering,
securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering.
The indictment alleges that between 1993 and September of
1998, Semion Mogilevich headed and controlled the Mogilevich
Enterprise, an association which consisted of the aforementioned
individuals and a network of companies in over twenty different
countries which orchestrated a sophisticated scheme to defraud
investors in YBM stock. The scheme was allegedly funded and authorized
by Mogilevich. This complex network of corporations was set up
to create the illusion that YBM was engaged in a profitable international
business, primarily the industrial magnet market. Igor Fisherman
served as the Chief Operating Officer of YBM on behalf of Mogilevich,
who was YBM's major shareholder. Anatoli Tsoura was the Vice
President of Finance for YBM's main subsidiary.
