CALGARY, July 21 /CNW/ – The Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) has concluded a settlement with Calgary resident Ali Ghani regarding allegations he was responsible for misleading or untrue statements while promoting investments in a commercial real estate development known as Prism Place.
In the settlement agreement, Ghani admitted to breaching Alberta securities laws when he placed a Prism Place advertisement containing misleading or untrue statements in the November 2009 – January 2010 edition of Uptown Magazine. Ghani also admitted to breaching Alberta securities laws as he was responsible for misleading or untrue statements regarding investment in Prism Place on the Prism Investments website and a sales agent making untrue or misleading statements to potential Prism Place investors.
Under the settlement agreement, Ghani paid the ASC $35,000 to settle the allegations and $2,500 towards costs.
