Conn. fines astrologer

Connecticut regulators issued notice of plans to fine an astrology dot-com and its founder up to $100,000, saying the company raised at least $25,000 without registering its securities with the state.

Sky Watch Media Inc. lists a Greenwich location and is run by France native Meredith Duquesne, according to the Connecticut Department of Banking, with the company running the Astrologies.com website.

The department ordered Duquesne to furnish it a list of all investors in the company and to reimburse them. Duquesne has the right to request a November hearing to refute the state’s findings.
