Enforcement Proceedings

Commission Charges Volt Information Sciences, Inc. and Two Former Officers with Securities Fraud

The Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday filed civil injunctive complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with improper accounting at Volt Information Sciences, Inc. ("Volt" or the "Company"), a company located in New York, New York. 

In its complaint against Jack J. Egan, Jr. Volt’s former Chief Financial Officer, the Commission alleges that Egan participated in a scheme to materially overstate revenue.  For Volt’s fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 28, 2007, Egan signed and filed financial statements reporting $7.55 million of revenue that had not been earned and was not recognizable under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.   The $7.55 million of improper revenue caused Volt’s net income for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 28, 2007, to be materially overstated.  The complaint further alleges that the scheme relied on fabricated paperwork purporting to be a contract selling software to a customer.   Egan knew that any sale of the software was impossible because Volt intended to lease the same software to the same customer the following year.   Nevertheless, Egan authorized that the $7.55 million in improper revenue be included in the Company’s consolidated income statement for 2007, which were included in Volt’s:  (1) 2007 Form 10-K filed with the Commission on January 11, 2008, as amended by Form 10-K/A filed with the Commission on February 25, 2008; and (2) earnings release on Form 8-K furnished to the Commission on December 20, 2007.  Egan signed the fraudulent 2007 Form 10-K and subsequent SEC filings that included the same overstatement of revenue.  In addition, the complaint alleges that Egan mislead Volt’s external auditors and he signed one or more certifications required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act that were false and misleading. 

The Commission’s complaint charges Egan with violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”); Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”); and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5, 13b2-1, 13b2-2, and 13a-14.  The complaint further charges Egan with aiding and abetting violations by the Company.  The Commission seeks that Egan be permanently enjoined, be ordered to pay a civil money penalty, and be prohibited from acting as an officer or director.    

In addition to the complaint against Egan, the Commission filed a settled civil action against Volt and Debra L. Hobbs (“Hobbs”), the former chief financial officer of the Volt subsidiary where the fraud originated.  Without admitting or denying the complaint's allegations, Volt agreed to be enjoined from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act , and Sections 10(b),13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, and 13a-11.  The Company cooperated during the Commission’s investigation and has undertaken significant remediation efforts.  Without admitting or denying the complaint’s allegations, Hobbs agreed to be enjoined from violating Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5, and from aiding and abetting violations of Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B), and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, and 13a-11.  The judgment further provides that the Court later will determine issues relating to civil money penalty and other remedies.  Hobbs has agreed to cooperate with the SEC in connection with this action.

The Commission's settlements with Volt and Hobbs are subject to the approval of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. [Securities and Exchange Commission v. Volt Information Sciences, Inc. and Debra L. Hobbs, Civil Action No. 13-CV-237 (S.D.N.Y.) and 13-CV-236 (S.D.N.Y.); Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jack J. Egan, Jr., Civil Action No. 13-CV-236 (S.D.N.Y.) (January 10, 2013)] (LR- 22589)

Final Judgment Entered Ordering Massachusetts-Based Investment Adviser to Pay Over $7.2 Million

The Commission announced that, on January 7, 2013, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts entered a final judgment by default against investment adviser Gary J. Martel, a resident of Chelsea, Massachusetts, in a case originally filed by the Commission in June 2012.  The Commission charged Martel, who conducted business under the names Martel Financial Group and MFG Funding, with selling fictitious investment products and using the funds raised for purposes other than making the investments he promised.  The Court froze Martel’s assets at the time the Commission filed the case.  Among other things, the final judgment recently entered by the Court ordered Martel to pay over $7.2 million in disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties.

According to the Commission’s complaint, over the course of several years, Martel  raised money from investors in Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and Florida by promising to invest their money in certain “pass through” bonds with favorable interest rates, as well as by promising to make pooled investments in mortgage-related securities or, more recently, Facebook’s initial public offering.  The Commission’s complaint alleged that Martel’s bonds and investment pools were fictitious, and instead of investing his clients’ funds on their behalf as he promised, Martel used the funds for other purposes, including to make payments to earlier investors.  The complaint charged Martel with violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws.

The final judgment entered by the Court came in response to a Commission motion for default judgment and permanently enjoined Martel from violating:  Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933; and Sections 206(1) and (2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.  The final judgment also ordered Martel to pay disgorgement in the amount of $3,261,438, representing profits gained as a result of the conduct alleged in the complaint, plus pre-judgment interest on the disgorgement in the amount of $695,806, and a civil penalty in the amount of $3,261,438.

On December 12, 2012, Martel pled guilty to criminal charges brought by the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, based on the same conduct.  On January 4, 2013, the Commission instituted related administrative proceedings against Martel to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate and in the public interest.  Among the relief that could be imposed in the administrative proceedings is a bar prohibiting Martel from involvement in certain parts of the securities industry.

 [Securities and Exchange Commission v. Gary J. Martel, D/B/A Martel Financial Group and MFG Funding (United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Civil Action No. 1:12-cv-11095-FDS)] (LR-22591)

Court Finds in Favor of Three Remaining Defendants in Penny Stock and Accounting Fraud Case

The Commission announced today that an enforcement action filed in April 2005 against 13 defendants has concluded with a judgment entered on January 7, 2013, in favor of the remaining three defendants after a trial conducted in March-April 2011. 

The civil injunctive action was filed in the United States District Court in Nevada against Exotics.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and 12 additional principal defendants and one relief defendant.  The Commission’s complaint alleged that, between at least 1999 and 2002, Exotics.com was the subject of a stock manipulation and accounting fraud.  The Commission previously obtained judgments against ten of the defendants.

A trial against the remaining defendants, attorneys Daniel G. Chapman and Sean P. Flanagan and consultant James L. Ericksteen, was held in March and April 2011.  The Commission’s complaint alleged that defendants Chapman, Flanagan, and Ericksteen directly violated and aided and abetted others in violating antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws.  In its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, issued on January 7, 2013, the court concluded that although it was “probable that certain of the several Defendants no longer before the Court may indeed have engaged in a manipulative scheme to artificially increase the stock price for Exotics.com, Inc.,” the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to prove that defendants Chapman, Flanagan, and Ericksteen committed the violations alleged in the complaint. [SEC v. Exotics.com, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 2:05-cv-00531-PMP-GWF (District of Nevada)] (LR-22590)

In the Matter of Eric Ashman, CPA

The Commission announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Rule 102(e) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Eric Ashman, CPA (Ashman).  The Order finds that on December 21, 2012, a final judgment was entered against Ashman in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Eric Ashman, Civil Action Number 12-CV-9189, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  The final judgment permanently enjoins Ashman from violating, directly or indirectly, Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rules 10b-5, 13a-14 and 13b2-1 thereunder, and from aiding and abetting violations of Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder.  Ashman was also ordered to pay a $125,000 civil money penalty, ordered to reimburse TheStreet, Inc. $34,149 pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and prohibited for 3 years from acting as an officer or director of any issuer that has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or that is required to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The Commission’s complaint alleged, among other things, that Ashman aided and abetted a fraud resulting in TheStreet filing materially false and misleading financial statements in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and in the company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2008.  The Complaint alleged that Ashman engaged in a number of improper accounting practices that materially increased TheStreet’s operating income, or decreased its operating loss, in a departure from generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  These practices included, among other things:  (1) recognizing revenue based on purported contracts for services when Ashman knew or recklessly disregarded that TheStreet had not performed the related services and/or had no basis to believe that such services had been performed; and (2) prematurely recognizing revenue based on services contracts.  In addition, the complaint alleged that Ashman made a false statement regarding revenue growth at a subsidiary of TheStreet when he knew or recklessly disregarded that such revenue only increased as a result of accounting improprieties.

Based on the above, the Order suspends Ashman from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant with a right to reapply after three years.  Ashman consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except he admitted the entry of the injunction.

In the Matter of I. Joseph Massoud

The Commission announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against I. Joseph Massoud.  The Order finds that on December 12, 2012, the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut entered a final judgment by consent against Massoud permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Massoud, Civil Action Number 3:12-cv-01691-RNC.  The Order also finds that the Commission’s complaint alleged the following:  Beginning in May 2009, Massoud engaged in insider trading in connection with his purchases of Patriot Capital Funding, Inc. (“Patriot Capital”), stock prior to the August 3, 2009, announcement that Patriot Capital was to be acquired by Prospect Capital Corporation.  From May through July 2009, while in possession of material non-public information he obtained from Patriot Capital about Patriot Capital’s financial condition and also about the value of acquisition proposals submitted to Patriot Capital by other bidders during the bidding process Massoud bought 322,216 shares of Patriot Capital stock in his personal brokerage account in violation of an agreement, which among other things, included a provision that prohibited him from buying Patriot Capital shares.  Following the August 3, 2009 announcement, Patriot Capital’s share price increased from $1.79 per share to close at $3.53 per share.  On August 25, 2009, Massoud sold all 322,216 of his Patriot Capital stock, earning over $676,000 in profits from these transactions.

Based on the above, the Order bars Massoud from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization.  Massoud consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings except he admitted the entry of the final judgment.
