According to the Toronto Globe and Mail, Canadian businessman Derek Elliott has been issued with a complaint from the US Securities and Exchange Commission that he and his former US business associate, James Catledge were behind an international fraudulent scheme. Elliott ran the Sun Village Resort & Spa near Puerto Plata until 2009. The SEC alleges that the pair sold timeshare and ownership in interests in Mr. Elliott's resorts and took in nearly US$164-million from about 1,200 investors, who were "falsely" promised attractive guaranteed returns.
