Commission announcements

SEC to Host Credit Ratings Roundtable

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that it will hold a Credit Ratings Roundtable on May 14 in response to a recent staff report on credit ratings and related matters.

The event will be held at the SEC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., and will be open to the public and webcast live on the SEC’s website.  Information on the agenda and participants will be issued at a later date.

A recent report by the SEC staff, required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, recommended that the Commission convene a roundtable to discuss the staff’s report.  The roundtable will provide a forum for discussion of the staff’s Report on Assigned Credit Ratings.  (Press Rel. 2013-27)

Enforcement Proceedings

SEC Charges Connecticut-Based Hedge Fund Managers With Fraud

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a pair of hedge fund managers and their Connecticut-based advisory firm New Stream Capital with lying to investors about their fund’s structure and financial condition before it failed during the financial crisis. 

The SEC alleges that the firm’s co-owners David Bryson and Bart Gutekunst secretly revised the fund’s capital structure before it collapsed in order to placate its largest investor, Gottex Fund Management.  Bryson and Gutekunst then directed New Stream’s marketing department to continue marketing the hedge fund as though all investors were on the same footing when in fact Gottex had priority over other fund investors in the event of the fund’s liquidation.

The SEC additionally charged New Stream’s former chief financial officer Richard Pereira and former head of investor relations Tara Bryson, who is David Bryson’s sister.  She agreed to settle the SEC’s charges.  New Stream’s Cayman Islands affiliate also was charged in the scheme, which allowed the hedge fund managers to raise nearly $50 million and receive lucrative fees while leaving investors with nearly worthless holdings when the fund went bankrupt.

 “Hedge fund managers who put greed ahead of full disclosure to investors violate a fundamental trust,” said George S. Canellos, Acting Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.  “Bryson and Gutekunst told investors they were all investing on equal terms when in fact some were investing in a fund that had been secretly restructured to their detriment.”

In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut today announced criminal charges against Bryson, Gutekunst, and Pereira.

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Connecticut, New Stream managed a $750 million hedge fund focused on illiquid investments in asset-based lending.  In March 2008, Bryson and Gutekunst revised the fund’s capital structure after Gottex, a fund manager with nearly $300 million invested in New Stream, had threatened to redeem its investment.  A restructuring of the New Stream hedge fund a few months earlier had created two new feeder funds and eliminated the preferential liquidation rights previously enjoyed by the feeder fund through which Gottex had invested.  Bryson told others at New Stream that if Gottex withdrew, the firm’s hedge fund business would “tank.”

The SEC alleges that revealing to all investors that New Stream restructured to favor Gottex would have made it much harder for the firm to attract and retain investors.  Public disclosure also would have jeopardized cash flow from a lucrative fee arrangement that the fund’s managers put in place in late 2007.  So the fund instead used misleading marketing documents that omitted the change, and Pereira as CFO falsified the fund’s financial statements to conceal the restructuring.  Investors who asked about redemption levels were not told about the Gottex redemption request and others that followed.  For example, Gutekunst falsely told one investor in June 2008 that there was nothing remarkable about the level of redemptions that New Stream had received and that there were no liquidity concerns.

According to the SEC’s complaint, as the financial crisis worsened in September 2008, New Stream was facing $545 million in redemption requests and was forced to suspend further redemptions and cease raising new funds.  After several failed attempts at restructuring, New Stream and its affiliated entities filed for bankruptcy in March 2011. 

The SEC’s complaint charges Bryson, Gutekunst, and Pereira with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.  Bryson and Gutekunst are charged with violating Sections 206(1), 206(2) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder, and Pereira is charged with aiding and abetting their violations of Section 206(4).  The SEC is seeking a variety of sanctions and relief against them including injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, and penalties.

In the settlement with Tara Bryson, which is subject to court approval, she agreed to be permanently enjoined from further violations of the provisions of the securities laws at issue in this case.  She also agreed to be permanently barred from the securities industry.

The SEC’s investigation, which is continuing, was conducted by Sheldon Pollock, Lisa Knoop, Alan Maza, Kevin McGrath, Alistaire Bambach, Scott York, and George Stepaniuk of the New York Regional Office.  The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Labor Racketeering and Fraud Investigations.  (Press Rel. 2013-28)

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

Today 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 seven companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:

  • My Complete Care, Inc.
  • New Midwest Co., LLC
  • NRG, Inc.
  • Nugent Aerospace, Inc.
  • Otter Tail Ag Enterprises, LLC
  • Raines Lenders LP
  • Sadhana Equity Investments, Inc.

In this Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that the seven 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. 34-68986; File No. 3-15217)

Former StarMedia Executive Agrees to Settlement in SEC Litigation

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that on February 6, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a settled final judgment as to Peter R. Morales, the former Controller and Vice President, Finance, for StarMedia Network, Inc., a now-defunct Internet portal, in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Fernando J. Espuelas et al., Civil Action No. 06 CV 2435 (PAE) (S.D.N.Y. filed Mar. 29, 2006).  The Commission’s amended complaint charged violations of the federal securities laws by eight former StarMedia executives alleging, in relevant part, that for fiscal year 2000 and the first two quarters of fiscal year 2001, StarMedia’s books and records misstated the company’s revenue.  Without admitting or denying the allegations in the amended complaint, Morales consented to the entry of the Final Judgment permanently enjoining him from future violations of the corporate books and records and lying to auditors provisions of the federal securities laws, and from aiding and abetting violations of the periodic reporting and books and records provisions, and ordering him to pay a civil penalty of $10,000.

The Commission had previously settled with six other defendants.  In addition, on October 26, 2012, the court granted defendant Betsy D. Scolnik’s motion for summary judgment and ordered that the clerk terminate her as a defendant from the case.  Accordingly, the Commission’s litigation is concluded.  [SEC v. Fernando J. Espuelas et al., Civil Action No. 06 CV 2435 (PAE) (S.D.N.Y.)] (LR-22624; AAE Rel. 3446)
