PERMANENT INJUNCTION AND ENTRY OF FINAL JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT AGAINST DEFENDANTS NATIONAL BULLION AND COIN, INC. AND CAPITAL CREDIT MANAGEMENT & FINANCE, INC.

THIS MATTER is before the Court upon the Plaintiff, the Commodity Future Trading Commission's (hereinafter "'the CFTC") Motion For Order Of Permanent Injunction And Entry Of Final Judgment By Default Against Defendants National Bullion And Coin, Inc. And Capital Credit Management & Finance, Inc. (DE 91). On June 29, 2000, Defendants National Bullion And Coin, Inc., d/b/a National Bullion & Coin Services, Inc. (hereinafter "NBC") and Capital Credit Management & Finance, Inc. (hereinafter "CCMF") were duly served with a copy of the summons, Complaint and the Court's Statutory Restraining. Order. The Court held an evidentiary hearing on July 17, 2000 at which documentary evidence, live witness testimony and oral argument was presented. The Defendants NBC and CCMF failed to appear on July 17, 2000 to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be entered, or to file a Notice of Appearance by counsel of record. On July 25, 2000, the Court issued two Orders Entering Default (DE Nos. 34 and 33) as to Defendants NBC and CCMF.

The Court has carefully considered the Complaint, the plaintiff's written submissions and the evidence in the record to date, and, being otherwise fully advised in the premises, hereby GRANTS the CFTC's Motion for Permanent Injunction and Entry of Final Judgment by Default Against Defendants National Bullion and Coin, Inc. and Capital Credit Management & Finance, Inc. (DE 41), and enters separate Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law finding NBC and CCMF liable as to all violations as alleged in the Complaint. The Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law are incorporated herein by reference. Accordingly, the Court now issues the following Order of Permanent Injunction and Final Judgment by Default against NBC and CCMF as to all issues of liability, and further orders that Plaintiff submit evidence and argument as to the appropriate civil monetary penalties, restitution and disgorgement to be made by NBC and CCMF.
