SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The CEO of a La Jolla-based financial services firm pleaded guilty Wednesday to defrauding shareholders, falsifying tax returns and operating an unlicensed money services business.David Nava, head of Surf Financial Group LLC, worked with others to convert publicly traded companies' debt into unrestricted stock under false pretenses, and then sold the stock, despite being banned since 1994 by federal securities regulators from taking part in the securities industry, according to federal prosecutors.Prosecutors say Nava, 62, directed others to write fraudulent attorney opinion letters that facilitated removing restrictions on stocks so they could be sold, in circumvention of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's regulations on the offer and sale of securities.The Department of Justice said brokerage firms cleared the sale of shares of the restricted stocks on the basis of those letters, allowing Nava and others to sell millions of shares, then move the proceeds into bank accounts under his control.In addition to his plea to a federal count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, Nava also pleaded guilty to operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, which he used to move millions of dollars in financial proceeds, and a tax fraud count for falsifying federal tax returns from 2014 to 2016, in which he underreported Surf Financial's profits in order to conceal his true income and tax liability, according to the Department of Justice.Sentencing is slated for Jan. 8 in San Diego federal court. 1556

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County officials Saturday said the availability of respirators and the capacity of Intensive Care Unit beds in the county's fight against the coronavirus has actually grown.Dr. Nicholas Yphantides, the county's chief medical officer, said that when he looked at some data Saturday morning he saw "something pretty remarkable.""The availability of ICU beds and the number of respirators that are available has actually grown," Yphantides said.The doctor said there were many technological innovations going on at local hospitals, such as tele-consultations and call-in nurses.He also wanted to remind the public that ventilators do not run themselves."We are very mindful of our most precious commodity, and that is our health care workers," Yphantides said. At a recent town hall forum, he reminded people that doctors and nurses are human, too,"We are really in the eye of the storm right now," the chief medical officer said. "The hope is that this Category 5 storm can be lessened and become more manageable."Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said he wanted to encourage people to rely on trusted sources of information about the health crisis.The health department will hold another coronavirus briefing on Sunday which will include San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Fletcher.The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in San Diego County saw its highest one-day jump yet when the number rose to 131 on Friday, an increase of 26 cases over the previous day."The message is very clear," County Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten said. "All Californians are being asked to stay at home if you do not need to go out for essential reasons."The increase in cases included 27 people hospitalized, with seven of the cases involving people aged 80 or older. There have been no deaths due to the illness in the county, according to the county health department's latest information.Of the 131 positive cases, 110 are residents of the county -- 18 of them hospitalized; 11 are under federal quarantine, with six of those patients hospitalized; and 10 are non-residents, three of whom are hospitalized. The vast majority -- 99 cases -- of those who have tested positive have been under the age of 60. One individual's age is unknown.Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide "stay-at-home" order Thursday night, advising residents not to leave their homes except for essential needs.Essential services will remain open, including: gas stations, pharmacies, banks, laundromats, and places to obtain food, including grocery stores, farmers markets, food banks, convenience stores, take-out and delivery restaurants.Any other public event or gathering is considered non-essential and is banned under the order until further notice.Health officials have asked local hospitals and laboratories to comply with county orders to report all testing results, positive or negative. A lack of reagent fluids is limiting the number of tests many facilities can complete a day, throwing off regional estimates of testing capabilities.Under the stay-at-home mandate, all gyms and fitness centers are closed and gatherings of 10 or more are barred. The mandate also restricts childcare to "stable" groups of 10 children with one childcare provider.The "stable" vocabulary refers to the same group of 10 children each day and the same provider each day. If a daycare or related business has more than 10 children, each group needs to be in separate rooms and cannot intermingle. Social distancing is encouraged even among the subgroups.The health orders banning gatherings do not apply to public transit, airports or any other mass transportation. The Metropolitan Transit System said it would continue running buses and trolleys at least until March 31 with ramped-up sanitization procedures on vehicles and at stations.All five tribal casinos in the county will remain closed through the end of the month.On Thursday, San Diego County's family resource centers, as well as the housing and community development services office, three of the five locations of the county clerk's office and all treasurer-tax collector offices temporarily suspended in-person services. The closures are intended to help county residents practice social-distancing to stop the spread of COVID-19.Meanwhile, the Ramada hotel in Kearny Mesa announced it will be used as a quarantine site for people potentially exposed to coronavirus.The Ramada by Wyndham San Diego North Hotel & Conference Center located near Kearny Mesa Road, north of Clairemont Mesa Boulevard near state Route 163, will be used by the federal government to house patients under quarantine at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The hotel has 151 rooms and will be closed to the public.The patients being transferred from the base to the hotel are experiencing mild or no symptoms, federal authorities said.Fox5 reported the hotel is being monitored by the California Highway Patrol and U.S. Marshals Service. Conditions within the hotel are being controlled to prevent exposure to the public, authorities said.The Disney cruise ship Wonder docked Thursday in San Diego, and none of the 1,980 passengers aboard show any respiratory problems consistent with COVID-19, though one crew member has tested positive for influenza. The passengers continued to disembark Friday.Fletcher said the county had increased the number of available hotel rooms for unsheltered individuals or for those who cannot shelter in place to more than 1,300. Fletcher said Thursday that he and Supervisor Kristin Gaspar were writing a board letter seeking to place a moratorium on evictions in the county, including in unincorporated areas.Fletcher, Faulconer and other local elected officials spoke with the government of Baja California on Thursday to work on cross-border solutions to the global problem of COVID-19.Simon Property Group temporarily closed all its malls and outlets and the closure will last until at least March 29. The group owns several properties in San Diego County, including the Fashion Valley mall and Carlsbad and Las Americas Premium outlets.Students at San Diego State University and University of San Diego were instructed to move out of their dorms amid the coronavirus pandemic.Exceptions included students who can't go home, those without a home to return to and those with known health and safety risks.San Diego Community College District colleges, including City, Mesa and Miramar colleges, have officially closed their campuses.

Two students and an instructor at the school have tested presumptive positive for the illness in the past several days, according to the Navy.The latest sailor with ties to the school to test positive is stationed aboard the USS Essex and had been attending a course at Naval Base San Diego since Feb. 6.Two more sailors, one stationed on the USS Boxer, which is home-ported in San Diego, and the other aboard the littoral combat ship Coronado based at Naval Base San Diego, also tested positive for COVID-19.The schoolhouse where the training occurred will remain closed until further notice. Military health professionals are conducting a contact investigation to see if any additional precautionary measures need to be taken.Three Marines at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar have also tested positive for the virus, leading to new health protections on the base.Kelvin Barrios, a candidate for the San Diego City Council's 9th District, announced on his Facebook page Saturday he had tested positive for COVID- 19."Having ups and downs, with fever, headache and shortness of breath," Barrios said on Facebook. "But still doing OK."And Chula Vista City Councilman Steve Padilla, who tested positive for coronavirus, remained hospitalized after experiencing difficulty breathing.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Recent rainfall has led to an influx of seabirds washing ashore and becoming beached along San Diego's coast, the San Diego Humane Society said Friday.The organization's Project Wildlife program, which focuses on animal rehabilitation and conservation, has recently cared for multiple seabirds, including loons, western grebes and a blue-footed booby who became beached during periods of high surf and stormy weather.Seabird diets are also affected by rainfall as vacillating ocean temperatures cause their food sources to dive deeper than normal. Consequently, the birds are often too weak to get past strong coastal waves into the open ocean. Humane Society animal care staff recently transferred their rescued birds to SeaWorld for further rehabilitative care.Residents are advised to contact a lifeguard, the Humane Society's Humane Law Enforcement division at 619-299-7012, ext. 1, or SeaWorld at 800-541- 7325 if they see a beached or struggling seabird. Birds that are in immediate danger can also be wrapped in a towel and brought to Project Wildlife, located at 5433 Gaines St. 1112

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The parent company of niche dating sites, including Christian Mingle, agreed to pay 0,000 in penalties and nearly million in refunds to customers whose subscriptions were automatically renewed to settle a consumer protection action, San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan announced today.The judgment filed in Santa Monica Superior Court will be shared equally among a task force of California prosecutors that also included district attorneys from Los Angeles, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, as well as the city attorney of Santa Monica.The dating sites for Spark Networks USA, LLC, were automatically renewing customer payments without their express prior consent as required by federal and state law, among other alleged violations of law, according to the task force.RELATED: Donald Daters: New dating app aims to 'Make America Date Again'``Consumers always have the right to know where their money is going and companies must comply with California's laws in order to ensure that consumers understand certain transactions will renew automatically,'' Stephan said. ``This joint effort is a great example of how our Consumer Protection Unit works to protect people from unfair business practices in the marketplace and ensure that California's consumer protection laws are followed.''The judgment requires Jdate, Christian Mingle, and all of Spark's other dating sites to have full transparency with consumers about automatically renewing memberships.The company now must: -- clearly and conspicuously disclose the renewal terms; -- get consumers' consent, through a separate check box (or similar mechanism) that does not include other terms and conditions; -- send a clear summary of the renewal terms after consumers pay; and -- allow consumers to cancel easily.Spark Networks cooperated with the task force to reach the resolution.According to prosecutors, online ``subscriptions'' and other automatically recurring charges have proliferated in the United States in recent years.Some renewals come after ``free trials,'' where consumers need to cancel in time to avoid the charges. Federal and state law requires businesses to make auto-renewals clear to consumers, and to get their ``express, affirmative consent'' before collecting any money. However, many businesses still don't follow the law, prosecutors said. 2376

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The Board of Supervisors today voted unanimously to make San Diego County's million Small Business Stimulus Grant program available to all businesses affected by COVID-19 safety restrictions.Supervisors voted to expand the small business relief program via teleconference after hearing an update on the county's efforts to combat the spread of the virus as well as information about future vaccine distribution.They also heard from numerous businesses owners angry over the newest state restrictions mandated by Gov. Gavin Newsom.The restrictions, which went into effect at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, were triggered when intensive-care unit bed availability remained below 15% afterSaturday's daily update, according to the California Department of Public Health. New infections and hospitalizations from the coronavirus have surged in San Diego County, which reported its third-highest daily total of COVID-19 cases on Monday with 1,998.It was the seventh consecutive day with more than 1,000 new cases and the 15th time in the last 18 days. A record 2,287 infections were reported Friday. The cases reported Monday bring the county's cumulative total to 94,169.No new deaths were reported Monday with the total remaining at 1,062. The county has received nearly 0 million in federal CARES Act funding to help residents and businesses since the pandemic started earlier this year.Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, who proposed expanding the business aid, said he understands the impact a regional stay-at-home order has on business owners, and ``expanding this economic stimulus program will provide bridge funding to support them and their workers while the restrictions to slow the spread are in place.''Fletcher, who also serves as co-chair of the county's COVID-19 subcommittee, added that he understands people are frustrated by restrictions, but ``when we go from 200 to 2,000 cases a day, we have to change what we're doing.''Dr. Wilma Wooten, county public officer, told the board that the state of California is anticipating 327,000 doses of a COVID vaccine in mid December, with San Diego County expected to receive 28,275 doses in the state's first round of distribution.``I'm encouraged that our way forward will be seen with vaccinations to (create) herd immunity,'' she said. As she has at other county meetings, Wooten again urged residents to follow guidelines, including washing hands and maintain social distancing.``We can flatten the curve again,'' she said. ``We can come out of this in a way that saves lives.''Many residents who called in during the update's public comment period voiced their frustrations over how the restrictions are harming them, their families and businesses. Along with business closures, the restrictions also apply to certain outdoor facilities, including playgrounds.Paula Steger, co-owner of Artistic Laser Productions, said while it's important for everybody to wear a mask and wash their hands, it's also `` time to go about your daily lives.''She said her business lost ,000 worth of contracts because of restrictions.``I was 7 when the Hong Kong flu hit,'' Steger said. ``The world didn't shut down then, and we got through it. I'm done. I'm going to work wherever I can in a COVID-safe manner.''Dr. Holly Yang, president of the San Diego County Medical Society, reminded residents that the fastest way to reopen the economy is to get the virus under control.``We are at a critical moment -- the majority of the county is doing the best it can to reduce spread of the virus,'' Yang said.A motion by Supervisor Jim Desmond that would allow certain county staff not to enforce closure of playgrounds failed. ``This is for our kids,'' who have a much better tolerance towards the coronavirus, said Desmond, board vice-chairman.His colleague Dianne Jacob said she'd also like to see the playgrounds opened up, but it would be irresponsible of the county to defy state orders.``Whether we like it or not, that's what exists,'' she said. ``Otherwise, that encourages civil disobedience.'' If more residents had complied with basic prevention guidelines, the county wouldn't be dealing with case spikes, Jacob said, adding, ``Just wear the damn mask.''Board Chairman Greg Cox said he was also sympathetic to Desmond's motion, but couldn't support it. Cox said he disagrees with portions of state mandates, but the county is ``in a crisis situation,'' which may get much worse before the start of 2021. 4471
