Enforcement ProceedingsCommission Revokes Exchange Act Registration Of American Stellar Energy, Inc. (N/K/A Tara Gold Resources Corp.) The Commission has revoked the registration of the securities of American Stellar Energy, Inc. (n/k/a Tara Gold Resources Corp.), pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Commission found that the company violated Exchange Act Section 13(a) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 by failing to file its 2008 audited annual report and quarterly reports from 2008 and 2009. The Commission also found that all of the required period reports filed after the issuance of the Commission's Order Instituting Proceedings had been delinquent, with the exception of the March 2011 quarterly report. The Commission determined that this failure to file was serious, recurrent and evidenced a high degree of culpability. The Commission concluded that revoking the registration of the company's registered securities was warranted for the protection of investors. (Rel. 34-64897; File No.: 3-13881). SEC Obtains Injunction and Over $112,000 In Monetary Relief Against Former Private Equity Associate Found Liable In Insider Trading Ring The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that The Honorable Susan Illston of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on July 14, 2011 ordered former TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG”) private equity associate Vinayak S. Gowrish to pay in excess of $112,000, consisting of $12,000 in disgorgement (with interest to be calculated thereon) and a $100,000 civil penalty, for his role in a serial insider trading ring. Judge Illston also issued a permanent injunction against Gowrish enjoining him from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws (Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder). A federal jury on February 3, 2011 found Gowrish liable for illegally tipping material, nonpublic information that TPG was in negotiations to acquire three separate publicly traded companies: Sabre Holdings Corp. (“Sabre”), TXU Corp. (“TXU”), and Alliance Data Systems Corp. (“ADS”). The Commission’s complaint alleged – and the jury found – that Gowrish, a former associate at multi-billion dollar private equity firm TPG, misappropriated material nonpublic information from his employer in connection with TPG’s negotiations to acquire Sabre, TXU, and ADS. Gowrish tipped the confidential acquisition information to his long-time friend, Adnan Zaman, a former investment banker at Lazard Frères & Co. LLC. Zaman, in turn, tipped the information to their two friends, Pascal S. Vaghar and Sameer N. Khoury. On the basis of the information provided by Gowrish through Zaman, Vaghar and Khoury then traded Sabre, TXU, and ADS securities, realizing approximately $375,000 in illicit profits. The Commission’s complaint alleged that, in exchange for the confidential information, Vaghar provided cash kickbacks to both Gowrish and Zaman. The jury found that Gowrish violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Zaman, Vaghar, and Khoury previously consented to the entry of final judgments permanently enjoining them from violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Zaman and Vaghar were also enjoined from violations of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-3 thereunder. Zaman is currently serving a 26-month federal prison sentence for his role in the scheme. [SEC v. Vinayak S. Gowrish, 09-CV- 5883 (SI) (N.D. Cal.)] (LR- 22039). District Court Orders West To Pay $1,254,975.43 in Disgorgement, Prejudgment Interest and Civil Penalty The Commission announced that the Honorable John Antoon II, Senior District Judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida granted the Commission’s Motions to Set Disgorgement and Civil Penalty Amounts as to Defendant Darrel West. The Court ordered West to pay disgorgement of $606,413.31 (representing profits gained as a result of the conduct alleged against him in the Complaint) together with prejudgment interest thereon in the amount of $42,148.81. The Court also ordered West to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $606,413.31 for a total liability of $1,254,975.43. West controlled Defendant Own My Travel, LLC. Previously, the Court entered Judgments of Permanent Injunction against West and Own My Travel. The Judgments, entered by consent, enjoin West and Own My Travel from violating Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Commission voluntarily dismissed with prejudice its previous claims for disgorgement and civil penalties against Own My Travel and disgorgement against Professionally Assisted Marketing, Inc. as both companies are currently defunct. The Commission filed its complaint on August 14, 2009, against West, Own My Travel and Professionally Assisted Marketing, LLC as a relief defendant. The complaint alleged the defendants misrepresented Own My Travel as a legitimate multi-level marketing company when it was actually a fraudulent pyramid scheme premised on the sale of memberships and thus destined to collapse, leaving investors with substantial losses. The complaint also alleged that West and Own My Travel misled investors about Own My Travel’s business structure and how it generated revenue, the future commissions investors would purportedly receive on a monthly basis, the risks associated with the Own My Travel investment, and West’s failures running a similar predecessor company. [SEC v. Darrel West et al., Case No. 6:09-CV-1419 (M.D. Fla.)] (LR-22041). SEC Obtains Final Judgment as to Defendant Danielle ChiesiThe SEC announced that the Honorable Jed S. Rakoff, United States District Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entered a Final Judgment as to Danielle Chiesi on July 12, 2011, in the SEC’s insider trading case, SEC v. Galleon Management, LP, et al., 09-CV-8811 (SDNY) (JSR). The SEC filed its action on October 16, 2009, against Raj Rajaratnam, Galleon Management, LP, Danielle Chiesi and others, alleging a widespread insider trading scheme involving hedge funds, industry professionals, and corporate insiders. At the time of the alleged conduct, Chiesi was a consultant and portfolio manager at New Castle Funds LLC, formerly a registered hedge fund investment adviser. The SEC alleged that Chiesi traded on and tipped others to material, nonpublic information she learned from corporate insiders about Akamai Technologies, Inc., Sun Microsystems, Inc., IBM, and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The Final Judgment entered against Chiesi: (1) permanently enjoins her from violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5, and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”); and (2) orders her liable for disgorgement of ill-gotten gains of $500,000, together with prejudgment interest of $40,534.90, for a total of $540,534.90. Chiesi awaits sentencing in a parallel criminal action against her in which she pleaded guilty, United States v. Chiesi, 10 CR 1184 (RJH) (SDNY). [SEC v. Galleon Management, LP, et al., Civil Action No. 09-CV-8811 (SDNY) (JSR)] (LR- 22042) SEC Charges James M. Peister and Northstar International Group, Inc. For Conducting Ponzi Scheme On July 14, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a settled civil action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against James M. Peister and Northstar International Group, Inc. (Northstar). The Commission’s complaint alleges that, from 2003 through 2009, Peister and Northstar intentionally overstated the assets of the North American Globex Fund, LP (Globex Fund) and in so doing they: (1) provided investors and prospective investors with materially false and misleading sales materials claiming an improbable track record of consistent positive monthly returns; (2) issued materially false and misleading account statements to Globex Fund investors; and (3) issued materially false and misleading financial statements. Peister and Northstar engaged in this conduct at a time when the Globex Fund’s actual assets made it impossible to repay all investors either their principal or their share of the purported gain. Furthermore, in order to perpetuate the fraudulent scheme Peister and Northstar continued to solicit new investors. Peister and Northstar have agreed to settle the Commission’s charges, without admitting or denying the complaint’s allegations. Under the settlement, Peister and Northstar consented to a judgment permanently enjoining them from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1), 206(2) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act) and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder. The judgment provides that the amounts of any disgorgement and civil penalties will be determined at a later date. The proposed judgments are subject to court approval. [SEC v. James M. Peister, et al., Civil Action No. 11-cv-3386 (E.D.N.Y.)] (LR- 22043) SEC Obtains Final Judgment Against Daniel L. DeVoreThe SEC announced that the Honorable Jed S. Rakoff, United States District Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entered a Final Judgment as to Daniel L. DeVore on July 12, 2011, in the SEC’s insider trading case, SEC v. Mark Anthony Longoria, et al., 11-CV-0753 (SDNY) (JSR). The SEC filed its Complaint on February 3, 2011, charging two expert network employees and four consultants with insider trading for illegally tipping hedge funds and other investors. On February 8, 2011, the SEC filed an Amended Complaint, charging a New York-based hedge fund and four hedge fund portfolio managers and analysts who illegally traded on confidential information obtained from technology company employees moonlighting as expert network consultants. The scheme netted more than $30 million from trades based on material, nonpublic information about such companies as AMD, Seagate Technology, Western Digital, Fairchild Semiconductor, and Marvell. The charges were the first against traders in the SEC's ongoing investigation of insider trading involving expert networks. The SEC alleged that DeVore, a Global Supply Manager at Dell, was privy to confidential information about Dell’s internal sales forecasts as well as information about the pricing and volume of Dell’s purchases from its suppliers. DeVore regularly provided Primary Global Research LLC (“PGR”) and PGR clients with this inside information so it could be used to trade securities. From 2008 to 2010, DeVore received approximately $145,000 for talking to PGR and its clients. The Final Judgment entered against DeVore: (1) permanently enjoins him from violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), Exchange Act Rule 10b-5, and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933; (2) orders him liable for disgorgement of ill-gotten gains of $145,750, together with prejudgment interest of $6,098.50, for a total of $151,848.50; and (3) permanently bars him from acting as an officer or director of a public company. Based on DeVore’s agreement to cooperate with the SEC, the Court is not ordering Defendant to pay a civil penalty. [SEC v. Mark Anthony Longoria, et al., Civil Action No. 11-CV- 0753 (SDNY) (JSR)] (LR- 22044). Court Enters Final Judgment Against Defendant Glenn R. Harris The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on July 12, 2011, the Honorable Leonard D. Wexler of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered a final judgment on consent against Defendant Glenn R. Harris, a former registered representative of Advanced Planning Securities, Inc., a former registered broker-dealer. The judgment (i) permanently enjoins Harris from violating Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 and (ii) finds Harris liable for disgorgement and prejudgment interest of $673,989, but waives payment of that amount and imposes no civil penalty based on Harris’s bankruptcy petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, sworn bankruptcy schedules, and other documents. Harris consented to the entry of the judgment without admitting or denying any of the allegations of the Commission’s complaint. The Commission’s complaint, filed on October 22, 2009, alleges that from 2004 through 2006, Harris violated the registration provisions of the securities laws by selling securities for which there was no registration statement in effect. Among other things, the complaint alleges that Harris sold securities to elderly, unsophisticated investors who could not have been expected to understand the risks associated with the investments. In addition to the relief described above, Harris consented to the entry of an order in a separate Commission administrative proceeding barring him from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating agency, and from participating in any offering of a penny stock, with the right to apply for reentry after eighteen months. [SEC v. Charles C. Slowey, Jr., et al., Civil Action No. 09 Civ. 4547 (LDW) (ETB) (E.D.N.Y.)] (LR-22045) Consent Judgments Against Robert D. Orr, Leland G. Orr, Michael S. Lowry, Michael S. Hess, and Travis W. Vrbas, Former Senior Executives of Kansas-based Brooke Corporation and its other, publicly-traded subsidiaries. The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the United States District Court for the District of Kansas entered judgments, dated July 13, 2011, against five former senior executives of Kansas-based Brooke Corporation and its other, publicly-traded subsidiaries, Brooke Capital Corporation, an insurance agency franchisor, and Aleritas Capital Corporation, a lender to insurance agency franchises and other businesses. Robert D. Orr, Leland G. Orr, Michael S. Lowry, Michael S. Hess, and Travis W. Vrbas, without admitting or denying the Commission’s allegations, consented to judgments enjoining them from future violations of the federal securities laws, barring them from serving as officers or directors of public companies, and requiring the payment of disgorgement and penalties. The SEC Complaint alleges that in SEC filings and other public statements for year-end 2007, and the first and second quarters of 2008, senior executives at the Brooke companies misrepresented, among other things, the number of Brooke Capital franchisees, and their financial health, the deterioration of Aleritas’ corresponding loan portfolio, and the increasingly dire liquidity and financial condition of the Brooke companies. The judgments enjoin each of the defendants from violating Sections 17(a)(1) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rules 10b-5 and 13b2-1 thereunder, and from aiding and abetting violations Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-13 thereunder. The judgments further enjoin Robert Orr, Leland Orr, Lowry, and Hess from violating Exchange Act Rule 13b2-2; Robert Orr, Leland Orr, Hess, and Vrbas from violating Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 and from aiding and abetting violations of Rule 13a-1; Robert Orr and Hess from aiding and abetting violations of Exchange Act Rule 13a-11; and Robert Orr from violating Exchange Act Section 16(a) and Rule 16a-3 thereunder. In addition to the injunctions, the judgments bar the defendants from serving as an officer or director of a public company. Lowry’s judgment requires him to pay a $175,000 civil penalty and disgorgement of $214,500, with prejudgment interest of $24,004.91. Hess’ judgment requires him to pay a $250,000 civil penalty, and Vrbas’ judgment requires him to pay a $130,000 civil penalty. The judgments against Robert Orr and Leland Orr require them to pay civil penalties and disgorgement in amounts to be determined by the Court. (LR-22046). [SEC v. Robert D. Orr, Leland G. Orr, Michael S. Lowry, Michael S. Hess, Kyle L. Garst, and Travis W. Vrbas, Case No. 11-CV-2251 WEB/KGG (D. Kansas)] (LR-22046). In the Matter of Kadar M. Josey The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Kadar M. Josey (Josey). The Order finds that Josey was the secretary and chief financial officer of Elite Resources LLC (Elite) and the secretary of Elite3 Holding Corp (Elite3), and that Josey acted as unregistered broker-dealer by representing to investors that they could acquire bank guarantees in exchange for a percentage of the face value of the guarantee or for a fee. On June 23, 2011, a judgment was entered by consent against Josey, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 5(a) and (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 promulgated thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Elite Resources, et al., Civil Action Number 1:10-CV-3522, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The Order finds that the Commission’s complaint alleged the following facts: From at least April 8, 2010 through at least August 20, 2010, Josey, along with his co-defendant Patricia Diane Gruber, and the companies they operated, Elite and Elite3, raised approximately $2.85 million from at least nine investors. In raising these funds, the defendants represented that investors could draw upon bank issued guarantees worth millions of dollars, in one case representing a 40,000% return on investment, without having to repay the withdrawn funds. The defendants further represented that investor funds would be held in escrow until the bank guarantees were issued. Both of these representations were false in that no such bank guarantees existed and that defendants used almost all of the funds for several undisclosed purposes immediately upon receipt. When investors demanded performance, the defendants provided them with a fictitious guarantee certificate purportedly issued by Barclays Bank. Based on the above, the Order bars Josey from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization and from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock. Josey consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except he admitted the entry of the injunction. (Rel. 34-64912; File No. 3-14469 Delinquent Filer’s Stock Registration Revoked The registration of the securities of Communitronics of America, Inc. (n/k/a RPM Advantage, Inc.), has been revoked. It had repeatedly failed to file required annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The revocation was ordered in an administrative proceeding before an administrative law judge.
