COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTIVE AND OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF

AND FOR CIVIL MONETARY PENALTIES UNDER THE

COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT, AS AMENDED, 7 U.S.C. � 1 ET SEQ.

1. Since at least November 1997, defendants EuroPacific Equity and Capital Management, Ltd., Tortola Corporation Company, Ltd., International Investment Group, Ltd., David Michael Loyd, and Richard Tichy, have engaged in a fraudulent scheme to solicit members of the public to participate in a commodity pool called either the International Investment Fund or the EuroPacific Fund ("Fund").

2. By falsely representing that the Fund had been generating significant profits, defendants have solicited at least ten individuals to invest a total of at least $833,000 in the Fund in amounts ranging from $8,500 to $345,000. Those funds were not placed in a segregated customer account in the name of the Fund; rather, they were deposited in a money market account controlled by defendants in which over one hundred deposits totaling approximately $2.3 million were made since November 1996. Only a small portion of the funds in this money market account, approximately $134,000, was used to trade futures contracts in a non-pool proprietary account and all of that money was lost in the market. Because defendants used all of the funds in this money market account for personal expenses or transferred them to firms and entities unrelated to any commodity pool, they misappropriated the money of the investors in the Fund.

3. In order to conceal their fraudulent activities, defendants sent fictitious account statements to investors falsely showing that the Fund was generating profits. In addition, defendants failed to provide investors with a Disclosure Document in the form required by the Act and the Regulations, failed to provide investors with statements of account and annual reports, and failed to file a Disclosure Document with the Commission.

4. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 6c of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended ("Act"), 7 U.S.C. � 13a-1 (1994), Plaintiff Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission") brings this action to enjoin defendants' unlawful acts and practices, and to compel their compliance with the Act and the Commission's Regulations. In addition, the Commission seeks civil monetary penalties, remedial ancillary relief including, but not limited to, an accounting, restitution, disgorgement, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and the appointment of a temporary and permanent receiver, and such other relief as this Court may deem necessary or appropriate.

5. Unless restrained and enjoined by this Court, defendants are likely to and will continue to engage in the acts and practices alleged in this Complaint or in similar acts and practices, as more fully described below.

II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE

6. The Court has jurisdiction over this action pursuant to Section 6c of the Act, 7 U.S.C. � 13a-1, which provides that whenever it shall appear to the Commission that any person has engaged, is engaging, or is about to engage in any act or practice constituting a violation of any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order promulgated thereunder, the Commission may bring an action against such person to enjoin such practice or to enforce compliance with the Act.

7. Venue properly lies with this Court pursuant to Section 6c(e) of the Act, 7 U.S.C. � 13a-1(e), because defendants are found in, inhabit, or transact business in the Southern District of Florida, and the acts and practices in violation of the Act have occurred within this District, among other places.

III. THE PARTIES

A. Plaintiff

8. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission") is the independent federal regulatory agency charged with the administration and enforcement of the Act, 7 U.S.C. � 1 et seq., and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, 17 C.F.R. � 1.1 et seq. (1998).

B. Defendants

9. EuroPacific Equity and Capital Management, Ltd. ("EuroPacific") is a corporation registered in the British Virgin Islands. EuroPacific maintains an office located at 676 West Prospect Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309. EuroPacific has never been registered with the Commission in any capacity.

10. Tortola Corporation Company, Ltd. ("Tortola") is an international corporation registered in the British Virgin Islands. Tortola is the Director of EuroPacific. Tortola has never been registered with the Commission in any capacity.

11. International Investment Group, Ltd. ("IIG") is a company name used by David Loyd and Richard Tichy in promoting investments through EuroPacific. Its last known address is 1700 East Las Olas Boulevard, Penthouse Number 3, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. IIG has no record of incorporation or registration in the State of Florida. IIG has never been registered with the Commission in any capacity.

12. David Michael Loyd ("Loyd") resides at 11093 NW 9^th Court, Plantation, Florida. Loyd is an agent and representative for EuroPacific and the managing partner of IIG. From June 18, 1997 to January 5, 1998, Loyd was registered with the Commission as an associated person of First Resource Trading & Capital Management, Inc. in Fort Lauderdale, Florida ("First Resource"). During that time period, First Resource was registered with the Commission as an introducing broker and commodity trading advisor. Since that time, Loyd has not been registered with the Commission in any capacity.

13. Richard Tichy ("Tichy") resides at 6035 NW 81^st Terrace, Parkland, Florida. Tichy has been given a full power of attorney by Tortola to act on behalf of EuroPacific. Although Tichy was listed in Commission registration records as a principal of First Resource from September 12, 1997 to March 26, 1998, he has never been registered with the Commission in any capacity.

IV. FACTS

A. Operation of the Fund as a Commodity Pool

14. In the fall of 1997, Loyd and Tichy began soliciting individuals throughout the United States and Canada to invest in the Fund, which they described as a pool of individual investor funds which was to be used to trade commodity futures contracts and operated by EuroPacific. As part of their solicitation, they distributed promotional literature on behalf of IIG describing commodity pool investment programs offered by EuroPacific ("IIG Promotion Literature") and a contractual agreement between EuroPacific and potential investors ("Agreement").

15. The Agreement states that the business and purpose of EuroPacific is to "trade, buy, sell or otherwise acquire, hold or dispose of all forms of investments . . . for the purpose of purchasing and selling commodity futures contracts and options on commodity futures contracts, and related commodity trading business" and that clients will purchase "an interest in the trading account" operated by EuroPacific. To accomplish this business and purpose, the Agreement states that "EuroPacific offers units in a corporation allowing individual investors with limited capital to share in the profits (if any) earned by EuroPacific through its trading activities."

16. The IIG Promotional Literature touts the purported investment expertise of IIG and EuroPacific and describes various commodity pool trading programs that supposedly utilize computer-modeled trading systems. The IIG Promotional Literature states that "[t]he strategies envisioned for the fund are working as expected" and that "triple digit returns are the main goal." Based on those strategies, the IIG Promotional Literature claims that the "minimum statistically projected return for 1998" is 134.21%.

17. The IIG Promotional Literature represents that EuroPacific offers three asset allocation programs, the EURO-01 Program, the EURO-02 Program, and the EURO-03 Program, and that these programs are experiencing substantial growth.

18. The EURO-01 Program requires a minimum investment of $8,500 and is touted to generate "expected triple digit returns." The EURO-01 Program is described as the "main investment vehicle" that utilizes "a very sophisticated and complex program composed of ten non-correlated S&P 500 index trading computer models."

19. The IIG Promotional Literature states that the EURO-02 Program has a minimum investment of $25,000, of which EuroPacific will trade 30% of the investment and place the other 70% "under an umbrella policy strictly composed of triple A rated U.S. government bonds." The IIG Promotional Literature further represents that the EURO-02 Program ensures that the 70% government bond investment "will mature to 100% in averaged increments of two, four, and six years." The IIG Promotional Literature claims that the 30% trading portion of the EURO-02 Program is expected to generate triple digit returns.

20. The IIG Promotional Literature states that the EURO-03 Program has a minimum investment of $50,000 and is a trading plan for individuals with portfolios above $500,000. According to the IIG Promotional Literature, "50% of the capital invested goes to the EURO-01 Program and the other 50% to the EURO-02 Program."

21. On October 10, 1996, EuroPacific opened a money market account at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab"), a financial institution. Included in the account opening documents for the EuroPacific account at Schwab was a full power of attorney authorizing Tichy to trade in the account and to transfer or withdraw funds from the account.

22. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, individuals who purchase trading units in the commodity pool trading account managed by EuroPacific are directed to wire funds to the EuroPacific money market account at Schwab.

B. The Solicitation of Individuals to Invest in the Fund

23. At various times in 1997 and 1998, Loyd and Tichy appeared at investment seminars in Mexico and Aruba and solicited individuals to participate in the Fund.

24. At the seminars, Loyd claimed that he was offering investors an opportunity to participate in a commodity futures trading pool that he and Tichy had established. Loyd stated that Tichy had designed a new computer software program to trade futures contracts on the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index. Loyd said that he expected returns of 100% for investors and claimed that Tichy was a highly successful trader. He also claimed that he and Tichy had tested the computer trading program using their own money and had achieved returns of 754% in a three-year period. At some of the seminars, Loyd provided attendees with brochures claiming that the EuroPacific Fund had returned 16.72% in profits during the first two months of 1998 and that the minimum projected return for 1998 was 134.21%.

25. After the seminars, Loyd and Tichy invited prospective investors to meet with them in private sessions. At these sessions, Loyd again claimed that Tichy had designed a computerized trading program that had yielded very profitable trading results in excess of 100%. Loyd also distributed business cards, literature regarding his company, and account opening agreements for the Fund. These documents listed telephone and facsimile numbers for IIG at an office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

26. Individuals who attended the seminars subsequently telephoned Loyd at the IIG office in Florida to make arrangements to invest in the Fund. Pursuant to Loyd's instructions, individuals filled out the account opening agreements for the Fund and sent them to Loyd at the IIG office in Florida.

27. Pursuant to the instructions contained in the account opening documents, individuals wired funds in amounts ranging between $8,500 and $345,000 to an account in the name of EuroPacific at Schwab in San Francisco to participate in a the Fund operated by EuroPacific.

28. As the result of the defendants' fraudulent solicitations, at least ten individuals have invested a total of at least $833,000 in the Fund in amounts ranging from $8,500 to $345,000. Those funds were deposited in the EuroPacific Schwab account in which over one hundred deposits totaling approximately $2.3 million were made since November 1996.

C. Misappropriation of Investor Funds

29. Documents for the Schwab account, which is controlled by Tichy, show that the majority of the $2.3 million in deposits was transferred to non-pool related entities and individuals. Those documents show that funds in the Schwab account were used to pay the expenses of Tichy and Loyd in connection with purchases at restaurants, automobile rentals, vacations, and the purchase of various personal goods and services. During this time, approximately $150,000 was transferred to two non-pool proprietary commodity futures accounts in the name of EuroPacific at Linnco Futures Group, LLC ("LFG"), a futures commission merchant located in Chicago, Illinois. Tichy was listed as the authorized trader for the two LFG accounts, which were closed in December 1998 after sustaining virtually total losses.

30. Defendants sent false statements and reports to the investors showing profitable pool performance, although only approximately 5% of funds in the EuroPacific Schwab account were used for trading commodity futures contracts and virtually all of those funds were lost. These monthly statements and reports included cover letters that summarized fictitious trading activity in the purported commodity pool, falsely represented an increasing net asset value, and misrepresented the investors' share of profits in the pool. For example, investors received letters in May 1998 stating that 50% of the pool funds had been invested in the market and that a 24.31% profit had been realized. Investors also received letters in June 1998 stating that 75% of the pool funds had been placed in the market and that a 31.73% profit had been realized. In August 1998, investors received letters stating that the return on their investments in the Fund had surpassed 50% for 1998 and that they were on track to receive a 60% to 70% return on their investments by the end of 1998. Actually, whatever trading occurred during these periods resulted in losses.

31. Beginning in October 1998 and continuing through the present, investors in the Fund have made numerous attempts to contact Loyd and Tichy to request the return of their investments. Investors have been, and continue to be, unable to contact Loyd or Tichy or to obtain the return of their funds.
