Commission announcementsSecurities and Exchange Commission Suspends Trading in the Securities of RINO International CorporationThe Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced the temporary suspension, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), of trading in the securities of RINO International Corporation (RINO), a Nevada corporation with headquarters and operations in the People’s Republic of China, at 9:30 a.m. EDT on April 11, 2011, and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EDT on April 25, 2011. It appears that there is a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of RINO International Corporation, because the company has failed to disclose that: (i) the outside law firm and forensic accountants hired by the audit committee to investigate allegations of financial fraud at the company resigned on or about March 31, 2011, after reporting the results of their investigation to management and the board; (ii) the chairman of the audit committee resigned on March 31, 2011; and (iii) the company’s remaining independent directors have also resigned. Further, questions have arisen regarding, among other things: (i) the size of the company’s operations and number of employees; (ii) the existence of certain material customer contracts; and (iii) the existence of two separate and materially different sets of corporate books and accounts. The Commission cautions brokers, dealers, shareholders, and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by the company. Further, brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, at the termination of the trading suspension, no quotation may be entered unless and until they have strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If any broker or dealer has any questions as to whether or not it has complied with the rule, such broker or dealer should not enter any quotation but immediately contact the staff in the Division of Trading and Markets, Office of Interpretation and Guidance, at (202) 551-5760. If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by Rule 15c2-11, it should refrain from entering quotations relating to RINO’s securities until such time as it has familiarized itself with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met. If any broker or dealer enters any quotation which is in violation of the rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement action. If any broker, dealer, or other person has any information which may relate to this matter, they should immediately contact Kara N. Brockmeyer, Assistant Director, at (202) 551-4767, or Thomas C. Swiers, Senior Counsel, at (202) 551-4851, or by e-mail at brockmeyerk@sec.gov or swierst@sec.gov. (Rel. 34-64291) Publication of Joint Study on the Feasibility of Mandating Algorithmic Descriptions for DerivativesOn April 8, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (collectively, Commissions) delivered to Congress a joint staff study on the “the feasibility of requiring the derivatives industry to adopt standardized computer-readable algorithmic descriptions which may be used to describe complex and standardized financial derivatives.” See Title VII, Sec. 719(b) of Dodd-Frank. Based on the public input, staff investigation and analysis, the joint study concludes that current technology is capable of representing derivatives using a common set of computer-readable descriptions. These descriptions are precise enough to use both for the calculation of net exposures and to serve as part or all of a binding legal contract. The Commissions’ staff study also concludes that before mandating the use of standardized descriptions for all derivatives, the following are needed: a universal entity identifier and product or instrument identifiers, a further analysis of the costs and benefits of having all aspects of legal documents related to derivatives represented electronically, and a uniform way to represent financial terms not covered by existing definitions. To that end, in the Commissions’ staff view, standardized computer-readable descriptions are feasible for at least a broad cross-section of derivatives. The joint study contemplates that other financial regulators and the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Financial Research, along with the Commissions’ staff, may engage in a series of public-private initiatives to foster collaboration between regulators and the derivatives industry, working towards representing a broader cross-section of derivatives in computer-readable form. The Commissions thank the many members of the derivatives industry and public that provided information for the joint study and thank the responsible staff at both the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission for their collaborative efforts. The CFTC staff responsible for the CFTC’s participation in the joint study process are: Andrei Kirilenko, Chief Economist and Study Team Lead, JonMarc Buffa; Nancy Doyle, Frank Fisanich, Irina Leonova, and John Paul Rothenberg. SEC staff responsible for the SEC’s participation in the joint study process include members of the Division of Risk, Strategy, and Financial Innovation and the Division of Trading and Markets, and the Office of Compliance, Inspections, and Examinations, Office of General Counsel and Office of International Affairs.

The Order finds that Kentucky Energy, Inc. (Kentucky Energy), formerly known as Quest Minerals & Mining Corp., improperly accounted for warrants and certain convertible notes for the year ended December 31, 2005. Among other things, Kentucky Energy accounted for warrants it had issued to third parties as an asset with a purported value at the end of the first quarter of 2005 of more than $13 million. This accounting was not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and was material to Kentucky Energy’s financial statements, in that it caused its assets to be overstated by 43% and its net loss to be overstated by 197% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The inaccurate financial statements were prepared by Eugene Chiaramonte, III (Chiaramonte), through his consulting company, Clear Mountain Associates, LLC (Clear Mountain), which had been retained by Kentucky Energy for the purpose of preparing its financial statements. Based on the above, the Order orders Kentucky Energy to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) and (B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder. The Order also requires Kentucky Energy to comply with certain undertakings, including but not limited to, maintaining at least two independent directors on its Board of Directors and employing a chief financial officer. The Order also orders Chiaramonte to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13b2-1 thereunder and Chiaramonte and Clear Mountain to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) and (B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder. Kentucky Energy, Chiaramonte and Clear Mountain consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order. (Rel. 34-64288; AAE Rel. 3268; File No. 3-14338) In the Matter of Gualario & Co. LLCOn April 8, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), Sections 203(e), 203(f) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act), and Section 9(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Notice of Hearing (Order) against Gualario & Co. LLC and Ronald Gualario. In the Order, the Division of Enforcement alleges that the respondents, Gualario & Co., a registered investment adviser, and its sole owner and president, Ronald Gualario, made material misrepresentations and omissions in the sale of promissory notes to their advisory clients regarding the use of proceeds and the financial condition of Gualario & Co. The Division also alleges that the respondents obtained commissions in the sale of real estate limited partnership investments without registration with the Commission as a broker-dealer or being associated with a registered broker-dealer. The Division further alleges that the respondents breached their fiduciary duty by failing to disclose a material change in their hedge fund investment strategy to their advisory clients who invested in the fund. Based on the above, the Division of Enforcement alleges that the respondents willfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b) and 15(a)(1) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act, and that Gualario & Co. willfully violated and Gualario caused and aided and abetted Gualario & Co.’s violation of Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-4(a)(1) thereunder. A hearing will be held by an administrative law judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the Order are true, to provide the Respondent an opportunity to dispute these allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial sanctions are appropriate and in the public interest. The Order requires the Administrative Law Judge to issue an initial decision no later than 300 days from the date of service of this Order, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules of Practice. (Rels. 33-9202; 34-64290; IA-3186; IC-29628; File No. 3-14340) SEC Charges Former CFO of Investment Adviser With Aiding and Abetting Fraud in Connection With Unauthorized Transfers of More than $870 Million in Client FundsOn April 8, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil injunctive action in United States District Court in New York, New York against Perry A. Gruss (Gruss), the former chief financial officer of D.B. Zwirn & Co., L.P. (DBZCO), alleging aiding and abetting fraud in connection with the improper transfer of client cash, both between client funds and from client funds to DBZCO and third parties. DBZCO, now defunct, was an investment adviser that, at various times during the period 2002 through 2009, managed five hedge funds including the D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, Ltd. (the Offshore Fund) and D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. (the Onshore Fund), along with several managed accounts. The Offshore Fund and the Onshore Fund were separate entities with largely distinct pools of investors. According to the Commission’s complaint, during the period March 2004 through July 2006, Gruss knowingly misused the signatory and approval authority he had over funds held in client accounts and directed and/or authorized more than $870 million in improper transfers of client cash, both between client funds and from client funds to DBZCO and third parties. The complaint alleges that the improper transfers directed and/or approved by Gruss included: (i) $576 million in transfers between March 2004 and July 2006 from the Offshore Fund to the Onshore Fund or directly to third parties to fund Onshore Fund investments; (ii) $273 million in transfers between June 2005 and May 2006 from the Offshore Fund to repay a revolving credit facility of the Onshore Fund; (iii) $22 million in transfers from client accounts between May 2004 and March 2006 to pay management fees to DBZCO before due and payable in order to cover DBZCO’s operating cash shortfalls; and (iv) a total of $3.8 million taken from the Onshore Fund and a managed account in September 2005 to fund a portion of the $17.95 million purchase price of a Gulfstream IV aircraft purchased by DBZCO’s managing partner. The complaint further alleges that the improper transfers were not permitted by the offering documents or the management agreements, were not disclosed to clients or documented as loans, and no interest was paid to clients for the unauthorized use of their funds at the time. Facing termination, Gruss resigned in October 2006, when at least $108 million of the unauthorized transfers remained outstanding. All of the money improperly transferred was eventually repaid with interest, but only after an internal investigation. The complaint alleges that the defendant violated the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws by aiding and abetting DBZCO’s violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act. The SEC seeks a permanent injunction, disgorgement of any ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest and monetary penalties. [SEC v. Perry A. Gruss, Civil Action No. 11 Civ. 2420 (RWS) (S.D.N.Y.)] (LR-21923) Commission Sues California Broker In Connection with $8.2 Million Oil-and-Gas FraudToday, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil action against California-resident Paul N. Nicholson, and his former firm, Professional Investment Exchange, Inc. (“PIE”), alleging that they directed two fraudulent oil-and-gas offerings. According to the complaint, from May 2007 through October 2009, Nicholson and PIE fraudulently raised approximately $8.2 million from investors through two limited partnerships, Energy Opportunity Fund – VI, LLLP and Energy Opportunity Fund – VII, LLLP. The Commission’s complaint alleges, in particular, that Nicholson, who formerly operated broker-dealer Macarthur Strategies, Inc. (“Macarthur”), and PIE, an entity Nicholson controlled, misused and misappropriated investor funds, including, among other things, using investor funds to pay undisclosed commissions to unlicensed salespeople, to pay Macarthur’s expenses and to pay undisclosed personal salary and expenses. The complaint also alleges that in communications with potential and existing investors, Nicholson engaged in conduct that operated as a fraud and deceit on investors, including by omitting material information about the use of investor proceeds and about the past performance of Nicholson’s and PIE’s oil-and-gas ventures. The complaint further alleges that Nicholson sold unregistered securities and that he operated PIE as an unregistered broker-dealer. In early 2010, Nicholson transferred control of PIE to new management and deregistered Macarthur. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission’s complaint, and subject to court approval, Nicholson and PIE have consented to the entry of judgments that would enjoin them from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Nicholson has also agreed to pay disgorgement of $234,081 with prejudgment interest of $10,722. The Commission will ask the Court to impose a civil money penalty against Nicholson. Nicholson has also agreed to entry of a Commission order barring him from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or from participating in an offering of penny stock.

Calif.)] (LR-21924) SEC Files Civil Injunctive Action Against Alleged Perpetrators of Fraudulent Promissory Note OfferingsOn April 8, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil injunctive action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Luis Garg, Jason Zakocs, and four companies owned and/or controlled by Garg, RealFund Investment Trust (RealFund), First Atlanta, LP (First Atlanta), Weatherby LP (Weatherby), and Citiprop Corporation (Citiprop), for allegedly participating in fraudulent offerings of promissory notes. RealFund and Citiprop are based in, and Garg and Zakocs reside in, Los Angeles, California. First Atlanta and Weatherby are based in Atlanta, Georgia. The Complaint alleges that, from at least April 2008 through January 2010, the defendants raised approximately $1 million from 20 to 30 investors who invested in high-yield promissory notes, issued by RealFund, First Atlanta, and Weatherby, the proceeds from which were to be used for real estate development projects. According to the Complaint, the defendants told investors that their investments were risk-free and guaranteed annual returns ranging from 8% to 24%. In addition to alleging that these representations were false, the Complaint alleges that the defendants falsely advised investors that their promissory notes would be fully secured by equity in the underlying real estate projects. The Complaint further alleges that, notwithstanding the defendants’ assurances as to the safety of their investment program, one of the note issuers and real estate development companies for the investment program, First Atlanta, had been involved in bankruptcy proceedings for nearly the entire offering period. In addition, the Complaint alleges that, notwithstanding First Atlanta’s default on some of the promissory notes beginning in September 2009, the defendants failed to disclose this information to new investors and continued to offer and sell their promissory notes as a safe and guaranteed investment through January 2010. According to the Complaint, the note offerings were not registered with the Commission, RealFund was not registered with the Commission as a broker or dealer, and neither Garg nor Zakocs were associated persons of a registered broker or dealer at the time they sold the promissory notes. The Complaint claims that, based on this conduct, all of the defendants violated Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Complaint also claims that RealFund, Garg, and Zakocs violated Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act. [SEC v. Luis Garg, Jason Zakocs, RealFund Investment Trust, First Atlanta LP, Weatherby LP, and Citiprop Corporation, Case CV11-2976 DDP (VBKx) (C.D. Cal.)] (LR-21925) SEC Files Civil Charges Against Brian D. Fox, Former CEO of Powder River Petroleum International, Inc., for Financial FraudOn April 8, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) filed a civil action in United States District Court in Tulsa, Oklahoma against Brian D. Fox (Fox), the former chairman, chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Powder River Petroleum International, Inc. (Powder River). The Commission’s complaint alleges that, from year-end 2004 through the first quarter of 2008, Fox misled the investing public by fraudulently inflating the revenue and omitting major liabilities of Powder River in Commission filings and by making other false and misleading public disclosures. Specifically, the complaint alleges that from year-end 2004, Powder River conveyed working interests in oil and gas leases to investors in Asia for over $43 million. The complaint further alleges that because Powder River promised full repayment of the working interest investors’ initial investment, with a 9% guaranteed annual return of principal, these transactions were, in reality, loans. Powder River, with Fox as its chairman, CEO and CFO, improperly recognized the loan proceeds as revenues that were incorporated in Powder River’s quarterly and annual public filings with the Commission. The complaint further alleges that Fox was responsible for Powder River’s improper recording of oil and gas reserves on properties that the company did not own and inflation of the company’s net realizable value of those reserves. The Commission’s complaint further alleges that, by mid-2007, Powder River made undisclosed, Ponzi-style payments of incoming working interest conveyance proceeds from new investors to fulfill its ongoing minimum guaranteed payment obligations to prior investors. The Commission alleges that as a result of Fox’s misconduct, Powder River materially overstated its revenues by 7% to 2,417%, its pre-tax income by 18% to 465%, and its assets by 7% to 48% in financial statements incorporated in its SEC filings. Finally, the Commission alleges that Fox, on behalf of Powder River, issued misleading press releases and other public disclosures announcing inflated revenues, assets, and reserves, and successful property purchases that Powder River never actually completed. The Commission’s complaint alleges that Fox violated Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), and Rules 10b-5, 13a-14, 13b2-1, and 13b2-2 thereunder, and that Fox aided and abetted Powder River’s violations of Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B), and Rules 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, 12b-20. The Commission seeks a permanent injunction, disgorgement, civil money penalty and an officer-and-director bar against Fox. The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. [SEC v. Brian D. Fox, Civil Action No. 11-CV-211-CVE-PJC, USDC, N.D.OK] (LR-21926) Self-regulatory organizationsImmediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule ChangesA proposed rule change filed by the EDGX Exchange (SR-EDGX-2011-09) relating to amendments to the EDGX Exchange, Inc.
