Tuzo will face a hearing on the matter in Richmond in October.
According to the report, two entities tied to Tuzo, Genesis Business Group Inc. and Genesis Capital Corp., had their licenses terminated previously by the SCC for failure to pay annual dues, yet they continued to issue and insure bonds.
“Tuzo and the companies could face fines and a permanent injunction prohibiting them from conducting insurance business in the state,” according to the report.
Tuzo allegedly sold millions in bonds for city construction projects to a construction company in Hampton Roads. He also charged hundreds of thousands for premiums on the bonds, according to the report.
According to the report, Tuzo allegedly falsely represented Genesis Capital’s ability to transact such business in Virginia. Ifawebnews also said that Tuzo alleged that the supposed bonds were backed by land assets “even though it does not appear that Genesis Capital has any financial reserves or other tangible assets, records show.”
