On August 15th 2002 the US Department of Justice Marcos Daniel Jiménez
United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida issued the
following within a lengthy press release:17. U.S. v. Paul D. Lemmon,
Paul Derome and Andrew K. Proctor, Case No. 02- 80086-CR-HURLEY
On May 14, 2002, a federal grand jury returned an Indictment charging
Paul D. Lemmon, Paul Derome and Andrew K. Proctor with one
count of wire, mail and securities fraud conspiracy, in violation of
18 U.S.C. § 371, and one count of securities fraud, in violation of 15
U.S.C. § 78j(b) and 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5. Lemmon was the founder and
Managing Director of Voyager Group Ltd., and Proctor was a
Director of Voyager Group, a financial services company based in
Bermuda. Derome was the President and majority shareholder of
New Anaconda Company ("NANA"), the stock of which was publicly traded
on the over-the-counter market. The Indictment charges that
the defendants conspired to sell NANA stock to the Fund for a total of

million of the sale proceeds to the FBI UCA and others. If convicted,
the maximum, statutory term of imprisonment is 5 years for
conspiracy to commit wire/mail/securities fraud, wire fraud, and mail
fraud, respectively, and 10 years for securities fraud. A story from
