Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 10, 2010, the Magistrate Judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case No. 08-61517-CIV-GOLD MCALILEY) issued a report and recommendation denying the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) motion against China Logistics Group, Inc. for disgorgement of $931,000. As we had previously disclosed, the SEC’s motion for disgorgement was filed in connection with its September 24, 2008 civil complaint against Mr. V. Jeffrey Harrell, our former CEO and principal and financial accounting officer, Mr. David Aubel, previously our largest shareholder and formerly a consultant to us, and our company based upon the alleged improper conduct of Messrs. Harrell and Aubel that occurred at various times between in or about April 2003 and September 2006. The Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation granted the SEC’s motion for civil penalty against Mr. Harrell for $130,000 and Mr. Aubel for $250,000 and its motion for disgorgement against Mr. Aubel for $6,012,244.
Pursuant to Magistrate Rule 4(a), the parties may file written objections to the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation with the Honorable Alan S. Gold no later than September 21, 2010.
