"As we allege, MLM schemes of this size require promoters to fuel them, and today's action demonstrates that we will hold accountable not just the principal architects of these massive schemes, but also promoters who spread their fraud by unlawfully soliciting victims." The SEC's complaint alleges that NovaTech's top promoters, Martin Zizi, Dapilinu Dunbar, James Corbett, Corrie Sampson, John Garofano and Marsha Hadley, each recruited a wide network of investors and promoters even though they "became aware of certain red flags about NovaTech, including regulatory actions taken against it by U.S. and Canadian regulators, they continued recruiting investors and downplayed the red flags." The defense lawyers include Dwight E. Jefferson of Grealish & McZeal in Houston representing Dunbar and Sampson, Alina Veneziano of Oberheiden PC in Houston advising Garofano, David R. Chase of Fort Lauderdale representing Zizi, and William Grausso of Bohemia, New York, counseling Corbett.
