Honestyโฆ No one knows for sure.
While my discussion about the case being only Filed and waiting for its initial Preliminary Hearing Date was 100% factual and undeniable.
Trying to figure out what Frank will do next is simply speculation.
Betting Oddโs are; this is settled before it goes to Trial.
For him to settle he would need cash to repay what he took and the fines.
Itโs in his interest to either get profit from selling the shells or actually put a profitable company in them.
He may be forced to sell his home purchased with these funds.
Then again the SEC might want to make an example of him and not accept a settlement, tho this doesnโt happen often, it does happen.
In that case he would need to sell and or transfer ownership of the shells with new directors/ceo before the hearing and or trial as the judge can place restrictions on his actions, since the judge can if he choose to restrict Frank as early as the Preliminary Hearing.
Much of this can depend on what his plea will be and/or his defence.
Worst case, they bar him from ownership/officer/director/ceo of any corp/shell which would force his hand in transferring โto a friendโ or out right selling them to a new CEO and Owner for profitโฆ and he may be unsuccessful at either and they could all go dark/defunct. Which would also be terrible for him as he needs the money!
Itโs in his better interests to settle, transfer or sell. Going dark would bring him to bankruptcy.
Againโฆ all speculations using logic, weโll know more as the case develops and if we see any year end filings.
I donโt recall the date of by hand, easy research tho.
Oh and yesโฆ ChatGPT is such an amazing tool ☺️

LOL.. did you even read the Docket!!!
** Itโs okay to be wrong sometimes, thats how we learn.. no need to be aggressively defiant **
https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/55875644/Securities_and_Exchange_Commission_v_Igwealor_et_al
The judge was appointed quickly and then re-assigned! About 1 week after fillingsโฆ no court cases are heard for judgement in such speedy times!
All we have here are court filings and we are waiting for the preliminary hearing.
From those Waiver of Services filed if Frank and Co signed them it will show he is cooperating and this would give a very slight indication that we could see a settlement, tho that is pure speculation of previous cases and history with SEC
Weโll just have to keep on eye out for new Docket Updates.
In case you dont understand how the court system works.. I had ChatGPT summarize it for you.
โ
Based on the docket entries you provided, a **preliminary hearing** has not yet occurred in this case. The most recent updates involve the **waivers of service** being executed on **December 19, 2024**, where the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed proof that various defendants, including Frank Igwealor, had received the waiver of service for the lawsuit.
Additionally, the docket shows several administrative actions like the **reassignment of the case** to Judge Fernando M. Olguin, and **pro hac vice motions** allowing out-of-state attorneys to appear in the case.
It appears the case is still in its early stages, with **answers from the defendants due by January 21, 2025**, as indicated by the waivers of service. Therefore, no preliminary hearing or significant court proceeding has taken place yet.
You may want to continue monitoring the docket for any future notices of hearings or motions as the case progresses.

For your learning pleasure!!!
Youโre funny, it seems you dont have any idea how the judicial system functionsโฆ buddy just read, the SEC asked for a Jury!
Of course thereโs a judge for the Hearing to happen! Itโs the first part of any filed case.. it needs to be assessed for validity.
If you read the document, the SEC is requesting a Jury Case and not a Judge to hand the verdict.
But either way the judge needs the hearing to decided if thats what is best for this case.
The Judge in this case has been assigned to HEAR the case hence the Hearing.
He will Hear the evidence and see if it has merit to go forward.
**Case Filing** and **Case Hearing** are two distinct stages in the legal process:
1. **Case Filing**:
- This is the initial step where a party (plaintiff or complainant) submits a formal complaint or petition to the court, initiating a legal proceeding.
- It involves submitting all necessary documents, evidence, and statements to outline the case, which can include claims, charges, or defenses.
- Once filed, the court registers the case and assigns it a case number.
2. **Case Hearing**:
- After the case is filed, a **case hearing** is scheduled. It is a session where both parties present their arguments, evidence, and witnesses before the judge or tribunal.
- Hearings may involve multiple sessions and could focus on motions, pre-trial procedures, or the actual trial.
- The judge listens to both sides, and after considering the evidence and arguments, renders a decision or sets a future date for further proceedings.
In short, **case filing** is about initiating the legal process, while a **case hearing** is where the case is actively considered and argued in court.

Misappropriation, Conflicts And Illegal Stock Sales
Conflicts of interests and sham transactions are a key consideration when dealing with issues involving the federal securities laws. Many of the cases initiated by the Commission center on conflicts such as those that can arise when a controlling shareholder borrows funds from a company. The Commissionโs latest case involving these kind of transactions is SEC v. Igwealor, Civil Action No. 2:24-cv-09941 (C.D. Cal. Filed Nov. 18, 2024),
Defendants in the action are: Frank Igwealor, an attorney, CPA, investment adviser and the controller of many of the entities involved here; Patience Ogbozor, wife of Frank Igwealor; Alpharidge Capital, LLC; American Community Capital, LP; Givemepower, Inc.; Kid Castle Educational Corp.; Los Angeles Community Capital; and Video River Networks, Inc.
Beginning June 2021 Defendant Igwealor and his wife misappropriated over $2.2 million from Defendant Alpharidge, a subsidiary of GiveMePower, a publicly traded defendant Mr. Igwealor and his wife controlled. The funds were used to purchase a residence for Defendant Igwealor and his wife. Under the terms of the mortgage put on the property, no payments were due before 2031.
Subsequently, Defendants Kid Castle and other controlled entities, entered into a transaction designed to conceal transactions involving the home. Specifically, the mortgage was not disclosed by Defendant GiveMePower in its annual report filed with the Commission. Indeed, the purpose of the mortgage was to shroud the original misappropriation and conflicts and avoid repayment.
Finally, over a period of months, beginning in July 2021, Defendant Igwealor sold millions of shares of three penny stocks he owned. The size of the transactions violated the limitations for such sales in the federal securities laws. The complaint alleges violations of Securities Act Sections 5(a), 5(c), and each subsection of 17(a), and Exchange Act Sections 10(b), Rule 10b-5 and aiding and abetting violations of Sections 13(a) and 13(k). See Lit. Rel. No. 26171 (Nov. 19, 2024).

If Frank loses this case, he won't be able to do much of anything with any of the other OTC tickers that he currently owns.
Just check out the "RELIEF REQUESTED" section (pages 22-24) of the court document. For example, relief V says: Ordering that Igwealor and Ogbozor be permanently prohibited from serving as an officer or director of a public company.... and relief VI says: Ordering that Igwealor, Alpharidge and American Community Capital be permanently prohibited from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including engaging in activities with a broker, dealer, or issuer for purposes of issuing, trading, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock....

Doesn't matter if VNTH was listed in the complaint or not. Here are the penalties the SEC is seeking for Frank: In its case against Igwealor and Ogbozor, the SEC seeks permanent injunctions, officer and director bars, civil penalties, disgorgement, and prejudgment interest as to both defendants, as well as a penny stock bar against Igwealor. bold part is my edit
