August 15, 2011 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 89, Issue 33

The Securities & Exchange Commission has filed a complaint in federal court against biopharmaceutical firm Immunosyn, three shareholder companies, and four senior executives. The complaint charges Immunosyn with misleading investors about the regulatory status of SF-1019, a goat-blood-derived biological response modifier being developed by Argyll Biotechnologies, its controlling shareholder.

SEC wants to force the executives to return their profits and pay penalties and to bar them from serving as officers of a public company.
