SEC v. Janardhan Nellore, Northern District of California (Aug. 2, 2023) — Judgment
raw: SEC v. JANARDHAN NELLORE
SEC v. JANARDHAN NELLORE (Aug. 2, 2023)
Janardhan Nellore entered a final judgment with the SEC, agreeing to a permanent injunction against securities fraud and a $16,614 financial obligation satisfied via criminal forfeiture.
The SEC obtained a final judgment against Janardhan Nellore for violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. The court ordered Nellore liable for $14,643 in disgorgement and $1,971 in prejudgment interest, totaling $16,614. This financial obligation was deemed satisfied by a forfeiture order from a related criminal case where Nellore pleaded guilty.
The Securities and Exchange Commission obtained a final judgment against Janardhan Nellore in the Northern District of California for securities fraud. The judgment permanently enjoins Nellore from violating Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 through fraudulent schemes or material misstatements. Nellore was held liable for $14,643 in disgorgement plus $1,971 in prejudgment interest, amounting to a total of $16,614. This financial obligation was satisfied via a forfeiture order from a related criminal case, United States v. Janardhan Nellore, where he pleaded guilty to related conduct. Nellore consented to the judgment, waived his right to appeal, and admitted the allegations were true for purposes of bankruptcy discharge exceptions. The court retains jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this final judgment.
