We note your response to comment 33 in our letter dated October 1, 2010.  Please provide us with supplemental information that discloses the background of the case, including the subject matter of the complaint and the relief sought, and that shows that the jury awarded approximately $800 to one of the plaintiffs as the sole remedy for the case.  See Instruction 2 to Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

 

Jehu Hand was the president of Las Vegas Airlines, which was a reporting company. In 1998, LAV carried out a private offering of common stock at $2.50 per share, selling 312,400 shares for net proceeds of $631,000. A total of $341,000 were sold to the six plaintiffs, as follows: Dr. Randall Samberson, $16,000; Joel Wolfson, $250,000; Pete Gonzales, $25,000; Billy Eubanks, $30,000; Mark and Christine Self, $10,000; and Steve Berner, $10,000. All these persons lived in Amarillo, Texas. Jehu Hand had no prior relationship with these people prior to the offering. Learned J. Hand, Jehu's brother, was then a broker with Morgan, Stanley in California. One of Learned's clients was an elderly lady in Amarillo, Texas; she was the mother of Joel Wolfson. Learned had traveled to Amarillo to meet with Mrs. Wolfson and thereby became acquainted with her son, Joel. Joel and Learned spent a day with Joel and some of his friends of Joel, including Steve Berner, riding ATVs in a dry river bed. Learned mentioned to Joel and apparently Steve that his brother was president of an airline which was seeking to expand into the US Virgin Islands. Steve Berner testified at trial that when he asked Learned his opinion of LAV while riding ATVs, Learned stated that he thought it was a "good deal."


Soon thereafter Mrs. Wolfson died. Joel was the "payable upon death" beneficiary of her accounts at Morgan Stanley.  Joel called Jehu and stated he was interested in buying $250,000 in the offering if he could be paid as a "finder" for additional purchasers. When he was assured that he could be paid as a "finder" if he only introduced purchasers and had no role in solicitation, he purchased 100,000 shares and arranged for Jehu Hand to visit Amarillo and meet with some of his friends.


Jehu Hand did travel to Amarillo and make a presentation. Copies of the private placement memorandum were provided to all of the attendees. They also viewed a videotape of a televised press conference given by Hon. Roy Schneider, the then governor of the US Virgin Islands. This press conference was a critical part of the plaintiff's case. In the press conference, Governor Schneider, who was then running for reelection. made a statement to the effect that "Mr. [Jehu] Hand has 25 years of experience in the airline business." This was not true. Jehu Hand had little airline experience. However, LAV had been in business over 25 years and perhaps the Governor was confused. Jehu Hand did not correct the Governor during  the press conference. Although the private placement document stated that Jehu Hand was only recently involved in the industry, the plaintiffs stated that although all had received the placement document prior to investing, and had signed a subscription agreement in which each represented that he or she had read the document, none of them had in fact actually read the placement document prior to investing. At trial, there was no testimony that  Jehu Hand had corrected the Governor's statements during his investor presentation.


At the end of December, 1998, LAV discovered that its former owner, who continued to be employed by it, was embezzling money and that he had installed illegal parts in LAV's aircraft.  The employee was fired and the airplanes grounded. The employee filed an involuntary Chapter 11 petition against LAV. This petition was dismissed, but as a result of the petition filing, LAV lost all its business.


The seven plaintiffs sued Jehu Hand, Hand & Hand (Jehu Hand's law firm), Socal Securities (his broker dealer, which had no participation in the offering),  Learned Hand and Morgan Stanley under Texas and federal securities laws, seeking about $2 million in damages including treble damages. At trial, Morgan Stanley was held to have no liability. It had no knowledge of the offering. The fact that Joel Wolfson directed Morgan Stanley to wire funds from his account to LAV did not result in any liability to Morgan Stanley. Learned J. Hand was held liable to Steve Berner for $900, based on his "good deal" statement. He had no contact with any other plaintiff other than Joel Wolfson. The Company believes that the words "a good deal" are "puffery" at best and their statement does not indicate that Learned J. Hand mislead, intentionally or otherwise, Mr. Berner.

Joel Wolfson received no recovery against Jehu Hand because he invested prior to the Amarillo investor presentation and the showing of the Governor's press conference. Christine Self did not attend the investor presentation, never saw the press conference, and did not recover any monies.  The seven plaintiff's were awarded damages of $17,890 against Jehu Hand and his affiliated entities, with respect to the investment of $341,000 or about 5% of their collective investment, and less than 2% of the amount of damages claimed.  Jehu and Learned Hand were also required to pay the plaintiff's attorneys fees. It was the opinion of counsel for Jehu and Learned Hand that the jury awarded about a 5% judgment against them based on an  idea of "comparative negligence." They recognize that there is no such concept in the securities laws, but juries are unpredictable.   A copy of the judgment is provided supplementally.
