U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has obtained an emergency court order to freeze Idris Dayo Mustapha’s assets. The SEC filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, alleging Mustaphas hacked into brokerage accounts in the United States and abroad to manipulate and fraudulently profit from stock price fluctuations that he engineered. The agency says it’s seeking permanent injunctions; return of allegedly ill-gotten gains, with interest; as well as financial penalties.”]
