Timothy Scronce agreed to settle charges of defrauding Illinois-based telecommunications company PCTEL Inc. and its shareholders during and after its acquisition of his business TelWorx Communications LLC and his three related telecommunications companies.  According to the SEC, Scronce used false accounting entries to inflate TelWorx’s quarterly revenues and earnings in the months leading up to the purchase to inflate the price PCTEL paid for the companies.  He also allegedly falsified PCTEL’s books and records and circumvented the company’s internal controls by recording bogus transactions.  Scronce consented to the SEC’s order requiring him to return his allegedly ill-gotten gains with interest, pay a civil penalty, and be barred for 10 years from serving as a public company officer or director.  SEC
