-------------------- BEGINNING OF PAGE #1 ------------------- SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington D.C. LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 14762 / December 21, 1995 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION V. MICHAEL BORLINGHAUS, JOSEPH LATONA, LEONARD BELLEZZA, JEFFREY F. GREEN, JOSEPH P. GREENWALD, and HEINZ GREIN, 95 Civ. 1520 (S.D.N.Y.) (JFK) The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on December 10, 1995, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a default judgment against Heinz Grein ("Grein"). According to the Commission's Complaint, filed on March 6, 1995, Grein engaged in insider trading by purchasing the stock of Motel 6, L.P., and Norton Co. while in possession of material, nonpublic information concerning planned tender offers for those companies. More specifically, Grein and others of the defendants engaged in a scheme to purchase the stocks through offshore accounts in order to conceal the illegal trades. Grein tipped others who purchased as well. The default judgment permanently enjoins Grein from further violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws (specifically, Sections 10(b) and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rules 10b-5 and 14e-3 promulgated thereunder), and orders Grein to disgorge profits of $2,629,556.00, plus $1,498,369.18 in prejudgment interest on that amount. He is also ordered to pay a civil penalty of $7,888,668.00, pursuant to the Insider Trading and Securities Enforcement Act of 1988, as amended.
