New York, NY March 04, 2025 –( PR.com )– The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts has issued a final judgment in favor of Roger Bendelac, Principal at Aleutian Equity Holdings LLC, and Thomas Capellini, finding no violations in the case brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Civil Action No. 22-10889-RGS.
The judgment, entered by Judge Richard G. Stearns on February 6, 2025, and documented in Docket #283, follows the ruling issued on January 24, 2025, which found that the SEC failed to meet its burden of proof. This final ruling dismisses all claims against Bendelac and Capellini.

– Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5
– Exchange Act Section 9(a)(2)
