SEC Charges Two New Jersey-Based Firms and Owner In Stock-Lending Scheme

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a New Jersey businessman with running a stock-lending scheme that defrauded public company officials and brought restricted stock to the market.

Ayuda Equity Funding, LLC and AmeriFund Capital Holdings, LLC, both located in North Butler, New Jersey, and owner Manuel M. Bello, agreed to settle the SEC’s complaint without admitting or denying the allegations.  Bello and the firms jointly agreed to return $3.2 million of allegedly ill-gotten gains, plus interest.  Bello, of Kinnelon, New Jersey, also agreed to pay a $500,000 penalty and be permanently barred from the securities industry. 

The case is the second the SEC has brought this year involving stock lending.  In March, the SEC charged two executives and their California-based firm with defrauding corporate officials in an $8 million stock-lending scheme.

“We are continuing to clamp down on misconduct in the opaque stock-collateralized lending industry,” said Scott W. Friestad, Associate Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.  “Firms cannot induce borrowers to transfer stock to them as purported collateral for loans but then turn right around and sell the borrowers’ stock into the market to fund their operations.”

According to the SEC’s complaint, Ayuda and AmeriFund reaped more than $3.2 million of illegal gains on loans to public company officers and directors who put up stock as collateral.  Although some borrowers received written and oral assurances that the stock would not be sold as long as they did not default on their loan payments, Ayuda and AmeriFund sold the shares before or soon after making the loans, the SEC alleged.

The SEC also alleged that in at least 35 loan transactions, Ayuda and AmeriFund sold the borrowers’ restricted shares into the market without registering the transactions and the firms and Bello themselves failed to register with the SEC as brokers or dealers. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, Ayuda, AmeriFund, and Bello consented to a final judgment permanently enjoining them from violating federal anti-fraud, broker-dealer registration, and securities registration laws.  The settlement is subject to court approval.

In a separate administrative proceeding, the SEC charged Howard L. Blum, alleging that he brokered numerous transactions for Ayuda without being registered as a broker or dealer.  Blum, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, agreed to return more than $1 million of allegedly ill-gotten gains, plus interest, pay a $50,000 penalty, and be suspended from the securities industry for twelve months.

The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Jacob D. Krawitz and supervised by Julie M. Riewe.  (Press Rel. 2012-117)

SEC Charges Florida Broker in Astrology-Based Ponzi Scheme

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged that a former broker in Orlando, Fla., defrauded investors in an astrology-based Ponzi scheme.

The SEC alleges that Gurudeo “Buddy” Persaud lured family, friends, and others into investing in his firm, White Elephant Trading Company LLC, by falsely guaranteeing their money would be safe and yield lofty returns ranging from 6 to 18 percent.  Persaud told investors he would invest in the debt, stock, futures, and real estate markets, but did not reveal that his trading strategy was based on his belief that markets are affected by gravitational forces.

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Persaud used investors’ money to make payments to other investors, the hallmark of a Ponzi scheme.  Persaud also lost $400,000 of investor funds through his trading and diverted at least $415,000 to pay for his personal expenses, the SEC alleged.  The same month Persaud began receiving investor money, he started using some of that money for his personal expenses.  The SEC said that Persaud created phony account statements to hide his trading losses and give investors a false sense of security.  

“Persaud preyed on people who trusted him by promising high and steady returns while hiding his unconventional trading strategy,” said Eric I. Bustillo, Director of the SEC’s Miami Regional Office.  “When Persaud blatantly lied to investors and hid their losses through a Ponzi scheme, he should have known that an SEC enforcement action was in the stars.” 

Persaud was a registered representative at a Florida-based broker-dealer but separately operated the now-inactive White Elephant, starting in mid-2007.  In all, Persaud raised more than $1 million from at least 14 investors between July 2007 and January 2010.

The SEC alleges that in making trading decisions, Persaud chiefly relied on an Internet service that provided directional market forecasts based on lunar cycles and gravitational pull.  Persaud’s strategy was premised on the idea that gravitational forces affect mass human behavior, and in turn, the stock market.  For example, Persaud believed that when the moon exerts greater gravitational pull on the Earth, people feel dejected and are more inclined to sell securities.

The SEC’s complaint seeks disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, financial penalties, and injunctive relief against Persaud to enjoin him from future violations of the federal securities laws.

The SEC’s investigation was conducted in the Miami Regional Office by Senior Counsel Rachel K. Paulose and Accountant Karaz S. Zaki under the supervision of Assistant Regional Director Elisha L. Frank, with assistance from examiners Anson Kwong and Brian H. Dyer, Examination Manager George Franceschini, Assistant Regional Director Nicholas A. Monaco, and Associate Regional Director John C. Mattimore.  Amie Riggle Berlin will lead the SEC’s litigation. (Press Rel. 2012-118)
