Settlement
Applicants / Respondents:
Aaron Wolfe

In this enforcement proceeding, OSC staff says that Aaron Wolfe bought 100,000 shares of Tahoe Resources Inc. when he was not allowed to, because at the time, he knew about a proposed acquisition of Tahoe and that information was not public.

Wolfe and OSC staff reached an agreement to settle the proceeding. The Tribunal approved the settlement. Under the settlement, Wolfe has to pay an administrative penalty of $200,000, disgorge (give up to the Commission) the profit of $125,064 he made from his trading of Tahoe shares, and pay costs of $15,000.
