Commission AnnouncementsFormer CEO to Return $2.8 Million in Bonuses and Stock Profits Received During CSK Auto Accounting FraudOn November 15, 2011, the Commission announced that the former chief executive officer and chairman of CSK Auto Corporation has agreed to return $2.8 million in bonus compensation and stock profits that he received while the company was committing accounting fraud. Maynard L. Jenkins of Scottsdale, Ariz., was not personally charged by the SEC for the company’s misconduct, however he is still required under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) to reimburse CSK Auto for incentive-based compensation and stock sale profits that he received during the company’s fraudulent period. The SEC filed court papers against Jenkins in July 2009 saying he violated the SOX “clawback” provision by failing to reimburse the company. It marked the agency’s first SOX clawback case against an individual who was not alleged to have otherwise violated the securities laws. “CEOs should know that they can be deprived of bonuses or stock profits they received while accounting fraud was occurring on their watch,” said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. Rosalind Tyson, Director of the SEC’s Los Angeles Regional Office, added, “Jenkins received incentive-based pay while CSK Auto was fraudulently overstating its income to shareholders. His bonuses and stock profits are now being rightfully returned to the company for the benefit of the shareholders.” The settlement with Jenkins is subject to court approval. Jenkins has agreed to reimburse $2,796,467 to O’Reilly Automotive Inc., which has since acquired CSK Auto. The SEC previously charged four former CSK Auto executives who perpetrated the accounting fraud, and separately charged the company for filing false financial statements for fiscal years 2002 to 2004. The company settled the charges, and the litigation against three of the former executives is continuing (CSK’s former chief operating officer has since died). The U.S. Department of Justice brought a criminal indictment against those same executives, who have pleaded guilty to various charges. CSK Auto recently entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the DOJ in which it agreed to pay a $20.9 million penalty. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Dabney O’Riordan, Robert Conrrad, Rhoda Chang, Spencer Bendell, and Lorraine Echavarria in the Los Angeles Regional Office. The litigation effort was led by Donald Searles. The SEC thanks the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, and U.S. Postal Service for their substantial assistance in the investigation.

Lamkin and The Regency Group, LLC (Regency). The Orders find that on October 31, 2011, in the civil action SEC v. The Regency Group, LLC, et al., Civil Action No. 09-cv-00497, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado entered final judgments by consent against Lamkin and Regency, permanently enjoining them from future violations of: (1) the anti-fraud provisions of Exchange Act Section 10(b), Exchange Act Rule 10b-5, and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act); (2) the securities registration provisions of Securities Act Sections 5(a) and 5(c); (3) the broker-dealer registration provisions of Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act; and (4) the securities ownership disclosure provisions of Exchange Act Sections 13(d) and 16(a), and Rules 13d-1(a), 13d-2(a), and 16a-3 thereunder. The Orders further find that Lamkin, age 34, was a member of The Regency Group, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company formed in 2002. According to the Orders, the Commission's complaint, filed on March 9, 2009 (Complaint), alleges that Lamkin and Regency acted as underwriters in the unregistered distribution of shares in Xpention Genetics, Inc. (Xpention) and HS3 Technologies, Inc. (HS3) stock. The Complaint also alleges that Lamkin and Regency acted as unregistered dealers by selling Xpention and HS3 shares to investors -- from an acquired inventory of shares -- for their own accounts and to raise funds for their clients Xpention and HS3, as part of their regular businesses. The Complaint further alleges that, as part of their regular businesses, Lamkin and Regency solicited investors to buy such shares, handled their money, and directed the transfer of shares to them. The Orders find that Lamkin and Regency’s unregistered dealer activities occurred from at least 2004 through 2007. The Orders bar Lamkin and Regency from association with any broker or dealer, based on the injunctions entered against them. Each of the respondents consented to the issuance of the Orders without admitting or denying the findings in the Orders, except as to the entry of the civil injunctions. For further information, see Lit. Rel. No. 20937 (March 9, 2009). (In the Matter of Aaron S. Lamkin - Rel. 34-65756; File No. 3-14626; In the Matter of The Regency Group, LLC - Rel. 34-65757; File No. 3-14627) In the Matter of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc.The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM) with violating securities laws in a fee arrangement that repeatedly charged a fund and its investors for advisory services they weren’t actually receiving from a third party. The SEC’s case arises out of an initiative by the SEC Enforcement Division’s Asset Management Unit focused on fee arrangements with registered funds. The SEC’s investigation found that MSIM – the primary investment adviser to The Malaysia Fund – misrepresented to investors and the fund’s board of directors that it contracted a Malaysian-based sub-adviser to provide advice, research and assistance to MSIM for the benefit of the fund, which invests in equity securities of Malaysian companies. The sub-adviser did not provide these purported advisory services, yet the fund’s board annually renewed the contract based on MSIM’s misrepresentations for more than a decade at a total cost of $1.845 million to investors. MSIM agreed to pay more than $3.3 million to settle the SEC’s charges. According to the SEC’s order instituting the settled administrative proceedings, The Malaysia Fund’s board of directors evaluated and approved the sub-adviser fees each year from 1996 to 2007 based on MSIM’s misrepresentations during what’s known as the “15(c) process.” Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act requires an investment adviser to provide a fund’s board with information that is reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of any contract whereby a person undertakes regularly to serve as an investment adviser of a registered investment company. The SEC’s Asset Management Unit has been scrutinizing the investment advisory contract renewal process and fee arrangements in the fund industry. According to the SEC’s order, MSIM arranged The Malaysia Fund’s sub-advisory agreement with a subsidiary of AM Bank Group, one of the largest banking groups in Malaysia. Despite the research and advisory agreement stating that the AM Bank Group subsidiary (AMMB) would provide MSIM with “investment advice, research and assistance, as [MSIM] shall from time to time reasonably request,” the SEC found that AMMB merely provided two monthly reports based on publicly available information that MSIM neither requested nor used in its management of the fund. Furthermore, MSIM’s oversight and involvement with AMMB during the relevant time period were wholly inadequate. MSIM had no written procedures specifically governing its oversight of sub-advisers, and did not have a procedure in place for reviewing work done by AMMB. According to the SEC’s order, MSIM also was responsible for preparing and filing the fund’s annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. The fund’s filings stated that for an advisory fee, AMMB provided MSIM with “investment advice, research and assistance.” Since AMMB was not providing any advisory services, MSIM prepared and filed false information in the annual and semi-annual reports. According to the SEC’s order, the fund’s sub-adviser contract with AMMB was terminated in early 2008 after the SEC’s examination staff inquired into the fund’s relationship with the sub-adviser. The SEC’s order finds that MSIM willfully violated Sections 15(c) and 34(b) of the Investment Company Act and Sections 206(2) and (4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and Rule 206(4)-7 thereunder. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, MSIM agreed to a censure and to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of those provisions. MSIM agreed to repay the fund $1.845 million for the sub-adviser’s fees and pay a $1.5 million penalty. MSIM also agreed to implement policies and procedures specifically governing the Section 15(c) process and its oversight of service providers. (Rels. IA-3315; IA-29862; 33-9278; 33-9279; 34-65758; File No. 3-14628) In the Matter of Michael Cameron Van AlphenOn November 16, 2011, the Commission issued 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 Michael Cameron Van Alphen (Van Alphen). The Order finds that Van Alphen used the mails or instrumentalities of interstate commerce to induce investors to purchase promissory notes from Crown Capital Management, LLC and related entities. The Order further finds that on February 7, 2011, Van Alphen was convicted of one count of securities fraud in violation of Utah Code Ann § 61-1-1, one count of sales by an unlicensed agent in violation of Utah Code Ann § 61-1-3 and one count of communications fraud in violation of Utah Code Ann § 76-10-1801 before the Fourth Judicial District Court, Utah County, Utah in State of Utah v. Van Alphen (Case No. 101402231). Based on the above, the Order bars Van Alphen from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent, 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. Van Alphen consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the any of the findings in the Order. (Rel. 34-65762; File No. 3-14631) Securities and Exchange Commission Temporarily Suspends Former Chief Accounting Officer of Delphi Corporation From Appearing or Practicing Before the Commission Following Jury Verdict and Entry of Final Judgments Against Former Chief Accounting Officer and Former Chief Executive Officer of DelphiThe Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) today announced that it had temporarily suspended Paul Free, the former Chief Accounting Officer of Delphi Corporation (“Delphi”), from appearing or practicing before the Commission, following the jury verdict and entry of final judgments against Free and J.T. Battenberg, III, the former Chief Executive Officer of Delphi. The suspension may become permanent if Free does not file a petition with the Commission within thirty days. Delphi is an auto parts manufacturer with headquarters in Troy, Michigan. On October 31, 2011, the Honorable Avern Cohn, U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Michigan, entered final judgments as to Free and Battenberg, and ordered them to pay disgorgement and penalties for federal securities law violations found by a jury. The Court also entered a permanent injunction for fraud and other securities law violations against Free. Specifically, the Court enjoined Free from future violations of Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), Rules 10b-5, 13b2-1 and 13b2-2 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(e) of the Exchange Act for aiding and abetting Delphi’s violations of Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 promulgated thereunder. The Court further ordered Free to disgorge $38,000 in profits and to pay a penalty of $80,500. In addition, the Court found Battenberg liable for violations of Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 13b2-1 and 13b2-2 promulgated thereunder. The Court ordered Battenberg to disgorge $198,500 in profits and to pay a penalty of $16,500. On January 13, 2011, a jury returned a verdict in favor of the SEC and against Free and Battenberg for violating the federal securities laws. The jury found that Battenberg violated the books and records and misrepresentations to accountants provisions of the federal securities laws for his role in the improper accounting for Delphi’s portrayal of $202 million of Delphi’s $237 million warranty settlement with General Motors Corporation (“GM”) in September 2000 as related to pension and other post-employment benefits. As a result, Delphi filed materially false and misleading financial statements in the company’s third quarter 2000 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and its fiscal year 2000 annual report on Form 10-K. In addition, the jury found Free liable on fraud and other charges brought by the Commission for his role in Delphi’s false and misleading accounting for two financing transactions at year-end 2000 -- one involving nearly Delphi’s entire inventory of precious metals necessary to the manufacture of catalytic converters, and one involving Delphi’s inventory of generator cores and batteries – which Delphi falsely claimed as inventory sales; as well as Delphi’s false and misleading accounting for a $20 million payment that it received from Electronic Data Systems (“EDS”) in December 2001 as a rebate (income) rather than as a loan. The jury further found that Free violated the books and records and misrepresentations to accountants provisions of the federal securities laws for his role in the GM warranty transaction. On March 8, 2011, the Court entered partial judgment on liability in accord with the jury’s findings. The Commission originally filed suit against Delphi and 13 individual defendants on October 30, 2006. Delphi and six individual defendants settled with the Commission at that time. The Commission entered into settlements with two individual defendants and voluntarily dismissed another prior to trial, and settled with two individual defendants during the trial. This concludes the Commission’s federal district court litigation. [SEC v. J.T. Battenberg, III and Paul Free, 06-cv-14891-AC-SDP (E.D. Mich.)] (LR-22156); Rel. 34-65759 AAE Rel. 3338; File No. 3-14629) In the Matter of Daniel J. GallagherOn November 16, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Order) against Daniel James Gallagher. In the Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that from October 2009 through July 2010, Gallagher raised at least $427,000 from twelve investors through the fraudulent sale of securities of Nano Acquisition Group, LLC (NAG), an entity that Gallagher formed. The Division also alleges that notwithstanding Gallagher’s oral representations to investors that their funds would be used by NAG to acquire or develop certain nanotechnology assets, and written representations to the same effect contained in NAG’s offering materials, Gallagher withdrew over 90 percent of the funds raised for his personal use. The Division further alleges that Gallagher began to misappropriate investors’ funds almost as soon as NAG was formed and even as he continued to raise additional money from investors. As a result of this conduct, the Division alleges, Gallagher willfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. A hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge to determine whether the allegations in the Order are true, to afford Gallagher an opportunity to dispute the allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest against Gallagher pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act and Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, an order requiring Gallagher to cease and desist from current and future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; and to pay disgorgement and civil penalties pursuant to Section 21B of the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the Order, the Administrative Law Judge shall issue an initial decision no later than 300 days from the date of service of the Order. (Rel. 33-9280; 34-65760; File No. 3-14630) Court Enters Final Judgments Against Three Former Directors at Military Body Armor Supplier to Settle SEC ChargesThe Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida ordered three former directors to pay more than $1.6 million in monetary sanctions to settle charges that they were involved in an accounting fraud at a major supplier of body armor to the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies. The settlements by Cary Chasin, Jerome Krantz and Gary Nadelman – former members of the board of directors at Pompano Beach, Fla.-based DHB Industries – impose permanent officer-and-director bars in addition to monetary sanctions. The final judgments entered on November 10, 2011, find Chasin liable for disgorgement of $100,000 plus prejudgment interest of $5,723 and a penalty of $100,000; Krantz liable for disgorgement of $375,000 plus prejudgment interest of $21,464 and a penalty of $100,000, and Nadelman liable for disgorgement of $820,000 plus prejudgment interest of $46,935 and a penalty of $100,000. The final judgments also bar Chasin, Krantz and Nadelman from acting as officers or directors of any issuer that has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, the final judgments enjoin Chasin, Krantz and Nadelman from violating Sections 10(b) and 14(a) and Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9 of the Exchange Act and from aiding and abetting violations of Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, and 13a-13 of the Exchange Act, and enjoins Nadelman from violating Section 13(b)(5) and Rules 13b2-1 and 13b2-2 of the Exchange Act. Chasin, Krantz and Nadelman agreed to settle the SEC’s charges without admitting or denying the allegations. [SEC v. Jerome Krantz, Cary Chasin, and Gary Nadelman, Civil Action No. 11-60432-CV-Dimitrouleas/Snow (S.D. Fla.)] (LR-22154) Court Orders California Financial Consultant Timothy Page to Pay $2.9 MillionThe Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on Nov. 8, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled that Timothy Page, of Malibu, California, and his company Testre LP are liable for violating the registration provisions of the federal securities laws. The Court ordered Page to pay $2.49 million in disgorgement and $400,284 in prejudgment interest. The Court also ordered three relief defendants – Reagan Rowland and Rodney Rowland, of Los Angeles, California, and John Coutris, of Irving, Texas – to pay back their ill-gotten gains. The Commission’s complaint alleged that Page and Testre violated the registration provisions of the federal securities laws when they engaged in an unregistered public offering of ConnectAJet.com, Inc., a reverse-merger company that claimed it would “revolutionize the aviation industry” by creating a real-time, online booking system for private jet travel. The Commission alleged that Page and his collaborators purchased tens of millions of shares directly from ConnectAJet.com, Inc. for pennies per share, under a purported registration exemption under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, Regulation D, Rule 504. The Commission alleged that Page then touted the stock to investors through a national marketing campaign and dumped his shares into the public market when no registration statement was filed or in effect. The Court ruled that Page and Testre violated Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to the monetary relief granted by the Court, the Commission continues to seek the following additional relief against Page and Testre: civil penalties, penny stock bars, and injunctions from future violations of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. Reagan Rowland and Rodney Rowland were ordered to pay $138,219 and John Coutris was ordered to pay $281,840 in ill-gotten gains they received from Ryan Reynolds, one of Page’s collaborators. The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in this matter. [SEC v. ConnectAJet.com, Inc., et al., Case No. 3-09 CV-1742-B (N.D.
