The Commission alleges that Defendants Chang and Everbright victimized an American mining company, Allied Nevada Gold Corporation (\u201cAllied Nevada\u201d), by furtively buying up its stock, intentionally disseminating false press releases about a potential tender offer for the mining company, and then selling its shares into a market inflated by their fraudulent scheme.<\/p>\n<p>According to documents filed simultaneously with the Commission\u2019s complaint in federal court in Manhattan, Defendants Chang and Everbright were actively attempting to liquidate their U.S. assets. They were also wiring assets offshore.<\/p>\n<p>The Honorable Edgardo Ramos granted the SEC\u2019s emergency request to preserve these assets by issuing a temporary asset freeze order.<br \/>\nThe Commission further alleges that unbeknownst to Allied Nevada and the investing public, Defendant Chang, while driving the purported tender offer, had bought over 5% of the Allied Nevada stock through an entity he controls, Defendant Everbright Development Overseas Limited.<\/p>\n<p>The court\u2019s order, among other things, temporarily freezes the Defendants\u2019 assets, temporarily restrains them from further similar misconduct, requires an accounting, prohibits document alteration or destruction, and expedites discovery.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0is a premier\u00a0<\/span><a title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">hedge fund database<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
