A Waterloo, Ont. woman has been sentenced to 75 days in jail with two years probation, and to make restitution, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) announced on Friday.

Michelle Dunk was sentenced after pleading guilty to charges of unregistered trading and breaching a cease trade order that was imposed by the OSC in 2011.

As part of her plea deal, Dunk paid $60,000 in restitution to the OSC, which was returned to the investors in the case. The court has ordered another $15,554.80 in restitution, which will be returned to investors as well, the OSC says in a statement.

In August 2015, Dunk was charged with alleged breaches of the Securities Act in connection with a distribution of securities in a company called Hockley Energy that raised $600,000 from investors between September 2011 and February 2012.

According to the OSC, Dunk has never been registered with the commission, and the securities were issued without a prospectus. She was charged following an investigation by the OSC’s Joint Serious Offences Team (JSOT), which is an enforcement partnership that includes the OSC, OPP and RCMP.
