SEC Announces Temporary Trading Suspension of Sunshine Capital

At 9:30 a.m. EDT on April 12, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission  announced the temporary suspension of trading in the securities of Sunshine Capital, Inc. (“SCNP”), of Hollywood, Florida, terminating at 11:59 p.m. EDT on April 26, 2017.

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of Sunshine Capital because of questions regarding the accuracy of assertions by Sunshine Capital in press releases to investors concerning, among other things, the liquidity and value of the company’s assets, namely DIBCOINS, a cryptocurrency. This order was entered pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). The Commission cautions broker-dealers, shareholders, and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by Sunshine Capital. Further, brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, at the termination of the trading suspension, no quotation may be entered unless and until they have strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule.

If any broker or dealer has any questions as to whether or not he has complied with the rule, he should not enter any quotation but immediately contact the staff in the Division of Trading and Markets, Office of Interpretation and Guidance, at (202) 551-5777. If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by Rule 15c2-11, he should refrain from entering quotations relating to SCNP’s securities until such time as he has familiarized himself with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met. If any broker or dealer enters any quotation which is in violation of the rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement action.
