Securities and Exchange Commission Suspends Trading in the Securities of Nine Issuers for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced the temporary suspension of trading in the securities of the following issuers, commencing at 9:30 a.m. EDT on June 28, 2011, and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EDT on July 12, 2011.

  • International Poultry Co., Inc. (n/k/a Carley Enterprises, Inc.) (CRLY)
     
  • International Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. (ITGB)
     
  • Internet Marketing, Inc. (IMIZ)
     
  • Intrepid Technology & Resources, Inc. (ITRP)
     
  • Ion Technology, Inc. (IOTG)
     
  • Ionic Fuel Technology, Inc. (IFTI)
     
  • Ipex, Inc. (n/k/a Salus Labs International, Inc.) (IPEX)
     
  • Itemus, Inc. (ITMUQ)
     
  • IT IS Holdings, Inc. (ITHH)

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of these nine issuers due to a lack of current and accurate information about the companies because they have not filed periodic reports with the Commission in over two years. This order was entered pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).

The Commission cautions brokers, dealers, shareholders and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by these companies.

Brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11, at the termination of the trading suspensions, no quotation may be entered relating to the securities of the subject companies unless and until the broker or dealer has strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by the rule, it should refrain from entering quotations relating to the securities of these companies that have been subject to a trading suspension until such time as it has familiarized itself with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met. Any broker or dealer with questions regarding the rule should contact the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, DC at (202) 551-5720. If any broker or dealer enters any quotation which is in violation of the rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement action.

If any broker, dealer or other person has any information which may relate to this matter, they should immediately communicate it to the Delinquent Filings Group of the Division of Enforcement at (202) 551-5466, or by e-mail at DelinquentFilings@sec.gov. (Rel. 34-64756)

Hedge Fund Returns $230 Million Held in Offshore Account to U.S.

Funds Returned As a Result of Order Obtained By SEC in Alleged Ponzi Scheme Case

The Securities and Exchange Commission today told a federal court that $230 million held in an offshore account by a hedge fund has been returned to the U.S. and will remain frozen pending completion of the SEC’s Ponzi scheme lawsuit against the fund’s adviser and its principal. 

In a filing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, the SEC said the money was returned as a result of the court order obtained by the SEC in its case against Francisco Illarramendi of Connecticut and his firm Highview Point Partners LLC, which managed three hedge funds.

“We’re pleased with the return of this money to the U.S. and believe it will help preserve these assets for the benefit of defrauded investors,” said David P. Bergers, Director of the SEC’s Boston Regional Office.

Ethiopis Tafara, Director of the SEC’s Office of International Affairs, added, “In this case, the ability to freeze and repatriate the alleged financial crime proceeds was critical to the SEC’s effective enforcement of the U.S. securities laws.”

The SEC charged Illarramendi and his unregistered investment advisory firm MK Capital Management in January with running a multi-year, multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme.  Stamford, Conn.-based Highview was added as a defendant in May.  Three hedge funds managed by Highview and several entities affiliated with MK Capital Management were named as relief defendants for allegedly holding funds tainted by the Ponzi scheme.

After an evidentiary hearing, the Honorable Janet Bond Arterton, U.S. District Judge for the District of Connecticut, entered an order on June 16 freezing the assets of three hedge funds and ordering that all assets of the funds, including $230 million held in an offshore account, be immediately returned to the U.S.  

Judge Arterton had previously frozen the assets of Illarramendi, Highview, MK Capital Management, and several affiliated entities.

In its filing today, the SEC informed the court that the $230 million was received last week and is being held in a bank within the U.S.

The SEC charges Illarramendi, Highview, and Michael Kenwood Capital Management with violating Sections 206(1), 206(2) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder, and also charges Highview with violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The following entities are named as relief defendants, alleging that they received investor funds to which they have no right: Highview Point Master Fund, Ltd., Highview Point Offshore, Ltd., and Highview Point LP, Michael Kenwood Asset Management LLC, Michael Kenwood Energy and Infrastructure LLC, and MKEI Solar LP. In addition to preliminary emergency relief, the SEC seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus interest and penalties from the defendants, and disgorgement plus interest from the relief defendants.

Last year, the SEC returned more than $2.2 billion to harmed investors through financial recoveries in SEC enforcement actions.

Carlos J. Costa-Rodrigues, Sofia T. Hussain, Michelle Perillo, and LeeAnn Ghazil Gaunt of the SEC’s Boston Regional Office conducted the investigation following an examination conducted by Zerubbabel Johnson, Stephen M. Latin, Michael D. O’Connell, and Elizabeth Salini.  Timothy Geishecker of the SEC’s Office of International Affairs assisted with the investigation.  The SEC’s litigation effort is being led by Rua M. Kelly and Kathleen B. Shields. The SEC’s investigation is ongoing.

For more information about this enforcement action, contact: David P. Bergers, Regional Director, SEC’s Boston Regional Office, at (617) 573-8927. (Press Rel. 2011-135)

Enforcement Proceedings

Commission Orders Hearings on Registration Suspension or Revocation Against Nine Companies for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

In conjunction with this trading suspension, the Commission today also instituted two separate public administrative proceedings to determine whether to revoke or suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months the registration of each class of the securities of nine companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:

In the Matter of International Poultry Co., Inc. (n/k/a Carley Enterprises, Inc.), et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14439.

  • International Poultry Co., Inc. (n/k/a Carley Enterprises, Inc.) (CRLY)
     
  • International Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. (ITGB)
     
  • Ionic Fuel Technology, Inc. (IFTI)
     
  • Ipex, Inc. (n/k/a Salus Labs International, Inc.) (IPEX)

In the Matter of Internet Marketing, Inc., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14440.

  • Internet Marketing, Inc. (IMIZ)
     
  • Intrepid Technology & Resources, Inc. (ITRP)
     
  • Ion Technology, Inc. (IOTG)
     
  • Itemus, Inc. (ITMUQ)
     
  • ITIS Holdings, Inc. (ITHH)

In the Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that the respective Respondents are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission.

In these proceedings, instituted pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(j), a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At the hearing, the judge will hear evidence from the Division and the Respondents to determine whether the allegations of the Division contained in the Order, which the Division alleges constitute failures to comply with Exchange Act Section 13(a) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder, are true. The judge in the proceedings will then determine whether the registrations pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 of each class of the securities of these Respondents should be revoked or suspended for a period not exceeding twelve months. The Commission ordered that the Administrative Law Judge in the proceedings issue an initial decision not later than 120 days from the date of service of the order instituting proceedings. (Rel. 34-64757; File No. 3-14439 and Rel. 34-64758; File No. 3-14440)

In the Matter of Eddie W. Sawyers

On June 28, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Eddie W. Sawyers (Sawyers). The Order finds that Sawyers was associated with Wachovia as a registered representative from January 2004 to Oct. 14, 2008. While at Wachovia, Sawyers held Series 7, 63, and 66 licenses. On April 15, 2011, a judgment was entered by consent against Sawyers, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) [15 U.S.C. § 77 q(a)], Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78j(b)] and Rule 10b-5 thereunder [17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5], and Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Advisers Act [15 U.S.C. §§ 80b-6(1), (2), & (4)] and Rule 206(4)-8, thereunder [17 C.F.R. § 275.206(4)-8], in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. William K. Harrison, et al., Civil Action Number 3:10-cv-00634, in the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.

The Commission’s complaint alleged the following facts: Between approximately December 2007 and October 2008, Sawyers and his co-defendant William K. Harrison used misrepresentations and omissions of material fact to defraud at least forty-two Wachovia brokerage customers of at least $8 million in customer funds. On or around December 2007, Harrison and Sawyers, acting under the d/b/a “Harrison/Sawyers Financial Services,” began offering their Wachovia customers an investment opportunity that they misrepresented was guaranteed to make a 35% return, with no risk of loss of principal. In those instances when customers were informed that their monies would be used for trading options, Harrison and Sawyers misrepresented the riskiness of their trading strategy by telling customers that they had a foolproof approach to trading options and that their principal investment was secure and would make handsome returns regardless of market volatility. Harrison and Sawyers either opened accounts with optionsXpress in the client’s name or commingled the client’s funds in accounts opened in Harrison’s wife’s name or a joint account in the name of Harrison and his wife. So as to not draw attention to their conduct, Harrison and Sawyers placed “limited trading authorizations” and other related documentation associated with their scheme in the name of Harrison’s wife. Although the trading strategy that Harrison and Sawyers employed was initially successful, it soon resulted in substantial investor losses. By October 2008, they had depleted the vast majority of the money they had raised from investors. On Oct. 13, 2008, Harrison submitted to Wachovia a resignation letter in which he confessed to “misdirecting” $6.6 million from seventeen of his Wachovia customers in order to trade online. He also admitted that he had conducted this online trading without first securing the authorization of these 17 individuals.

Based on the above, the Order bars Sawyers from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization and from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock. Sawyers consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except he admitted the entry of the injunction. (Rel. 34-64759; IA-3224; File No. 3-14441)

In the Matter of Level Global Investors, L.P.

On June 28, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(e) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order and Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Level Global Investors, L.P. (Level Global). The Order finds that Level Global, a New York based hedge fund adviser, which is in the process of winding down, violated Rule 105 of Exchange Act Regulation M (Rule 105), which prohibits buying shares of an equity security through a public offering after having sold short the same equity security during a restricted period (generally defined as five business days before the pricing of the offering).

The Order finds that Level Global willfully violated Rule 105 twice during 2009. In April 2009, and again in May 2009, Level Global bought stock through a public offering after it had sold the same stock short within the restricted period. The Commission further found that, at the time of the violations, Level Global had no written policies, procedures or controls in place designed to detect or prevent Rule 105 violations.

Based on the above, the Order censures Level Global and requires the firm to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Rule 105. Level Global will pay $2,679,515 in disgorgement and $189,656 in prejudgment interest, along with a $375,000 civil monetary penalty. Level Global consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings contained therein. (Rel. 34-64763; IA-3225; File No. 3-14443).

In the Matter of Brookside Capital, LLC

On June 28, 2011 the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(e) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order and Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Brookside Capital, LLC (Brookside). The Order finds that Brookside, a Boston based registered investment adviser and manager of investment funds, violated Rule 105 of Exchange Act Regulation M (Rule 105), which prohibits buying shares of an equity security through a public offering after having sold short the same equity security during a restricted period (generally defined as five business days before the pricing of the offering).

The Order finds that Brookside willfully violated Rule 105 once during 2009. In June 2009, a fund managed by Brookside bought stock through a public offering after changing its investment thesis, even though the same fund had sold the same stock short three days before during the restricted period. The Commission further found that, at the time of the violation, Brookside had no policies, procedures or controls in place designed to detect or prevent Rule 105 violations.

Based on the above, the Order censures Brookside and requires the firm to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Rule 105. Brookside will pay $1,658,660 in disgorgement and $90,419 in prejudgment interest, along with a $375,000 civil monetary penalty. Brookside consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings contained therein. (Rel. 34-64764; IA-3226; File No. 3-14444).
