Enforcement Proceedings

In the Matter of Mark S. Parnass

On September 2, 2011, the Commission denied the motion of Mark S. Parnass to vacate a Commission order imposed in 1975 with Parnass' consent for aiding and abetting his firm's net capital violations. The order barred Parnass from associating with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, or investment company, with the right to reapply to become associated with a broker-dealer in a non-supervisory and non-proprietary capacity after eighteen months and in a supervisory and proprietary capacity after three and one-half years.

Noting, among other things, that the Commission issued another consent order in 1986 which found that Parnass violated the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, the Commission concluded that "Parnass has not presented 'compelling circumstances' that demonstrate that the public interest and investor protection will be served if Parnass is permitted to function in the securities industry without the safeguards provided by the 1975 Order." Although the Commission denied Parnass' motion to vacate his bar from associating with a broker or dealer, it vacated that portion of the order that imposed a collateral bar against Parnass from associating with an investment company or investment advisor, citing a similar result in Salim B. Lewis. (Rel. 34-65261; File No. 3-4393)

In the Matter of John Scott Clark

On September 8, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against John Scott Clark (Clark). The Order finds that Clark was the founder and control person of Impact Cash, LLC and Impact Payment Systems, LLC. From at least March 2006, Clark was acting as an unregistered broker selling securities in the form of Joint Operating Agreements for Impact Cash, LLC and Impact Payment Systems, LLC. The Order further finds that on June 16, 2011, a judgment was entered by consent against Clark, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. John Scott Clark, et al., Civil Action Number 1:11-CV-0046, in the United States District Court for the District of Utah.

Based on the above, the Order bars Clark 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.

Clark 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. 34-65294; File No. 3-14540)

Securities and Exchange Commission Orders Hearing on Registration Suspension or Revocation Against Three Public Companies for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

On September 20, 2011, the Commission instituted public administrative proceedings to determine whether to revoke or suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months the registrations of each class of the securities of three companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:

  • Sharon Energy, Ltd.

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

In this proceeding, instituted pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(j), a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At the hearing, the Administrative Law 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 Administrative Law Judge in the proceeding 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 this proceeding issue an initial decision not later than 120 days from the date of service of the order instituting proceedings.

(Rel. 34-65364; File No. 3-14450)

On September 21, 2011, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of Scoot.com PLC (n/k/a Coe Group Ltd) (Coe Group) for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission.

(Rel. 34-65367; File No. 3-14507)

In the Matter of Spencer D. Mindlin and Alfred C. Mindlin, CPA

On September 21, 2011, the Commission issued an order instituting administrative and cease-and-desist proceeding as to Spencer D. Mindlin and cease-and-desist proceeding as to Alfred C. Mindlin. The Division of Enforcement alleges that Spencer Mindlin conveyed material nonpublic information that he obtained in the course of his duties as an employee of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (Goldman Sachs) to his father, Alfred Mindlin. Spencer and Alfred Mindlin then traded based on this information in a brokerage account in the name of a family member and in Alfred Mindlin’s brokerage account.

Specifically, the Division of Enforcement alleges in the Order that while working on Goldman Sachs’s Exchange-Traded Funds Desk, Spencer Mindlin obtained material nonpublic information concerning Goldman Sachs’s plans to purchase and sell large amounts of securities underlying an exchange-traded fund, the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT). Spencer and Alfred Mindlin then traded in these securities ahead of Goldman Sachs. Prior to Goldman Sachs placing large buy orders in securities underlying the XRT (XRT underliers), Spencer and Alfred Mindlin took long positions in those same securities. When Goldman Sachs placed large sell orders in XRT underliers, Spencer and Alfred Mindlin took short positions in those same securities. On four occasions, in December 2007 and March 2008, Spencer and Alfred Mindlin traded XRT underliers with knowledge of Goldman’s trading intentions, reaping illicit profits in excess of $57,000.

The Division of Enforcement further alleges in the Order that Spencer Mindlin and Alfred Mindlin willfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, which prohibit fraudulent conduct in the offer and sale of securities and in connection with the purchase or sale of securities. A hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge to determined whether the allegations contained in the Order are true, to provide Spencer Mindlin and Alfred Mindlin an opportunity to dispute the allegations, and to determine what sanctions, if any, are appropriate and in the public interest. The Administrative Law Judge shall issue an initial decision no later than the 300 days from the date of the service of the order. (Rels. 33-9261; 34-65372; IA-3284; IC-29813; File No. 3-14557)

Former Polycom, Inc., Executive Settles Insider Trading Charges

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that, on September 19, 2011, the Honorable Jed S. Rakoff of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a consent judgment against Defendant Sunil Bhalla in SEC v. Feinblatt, 11-CV-0170, the last remaining defendant in an insider trading case the SEC filed on January 10, 2011.

The Complaint alleged that Bhalla, then a senior executive at Polycom, Inc. (“Polycom”) tipped Roomy Khan, an individual investor, to material, nonpublic information concerning Polycom’s financial performance and anticipated financial performance. The Complaint alleged that Khan traded on the information, and passed it on to certain other defendants in the case, who then traded on the basis of the Polycom inside information and other inside information given to them by Khan, reaping illicit trading profits, in the aggregate, of more than $15 million. The illicit trading profits resulting from Bhalla’s Polycom tip to Khan alleged in the complaint totaled approximately $2.5 million.

To settle the SEC’s charges, Bhalla consented to the entry of a judgment that: (i) permanently enjoins him from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; (ii) orders him to pay a civil penalty of $85,000; and (iii) bars him from serving as an officer or director of a public company for 5 years from the date of the entry of the judgment.
