Commission AnnouncementsSEC Staff and FINRA Issue Risk Alert on Broker-Dealer Branch Office InspectionsThe Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) today issued a Risk Alert and a Regulatory Notice on broker-dealer branch inspections, and offered suggestions to help securities industry firms better perform this key supervisory function. “A robust process for self-inspection of branch offices is a critical element of a firm’s compliance and supervision process, and a vital part of a comprehensive risk management program,” said Carlo di Florio, Director of OCIE. “This Risk Alert highlights practices that are characteristic of effective branch office supervisory systems, and describes major deficiencies that SEC and FINRA examiners have found in the branch inspection process.” “An effective risk based branch office inspection program is an important component of a broker-dealer’s supervisory system and, when constructed and implemented reasonably, it can better protect investors and the firm’s own interests,” said Stephen Luparello, Vice Chairman of FINRA. “FINRA encourages broker-dealers to review this guidance and consider enhancements to their own branch office inspection programs.” Along with specific requirements outlined in the report, effective practices observed by examiners include:
This is the second in a continuing series of Risk Alerts that the SEC’s national examination staff expects to issue. These documents are intended to alert senior management, risk management, and compliance managers in the securities industry to significant risks identified by the SEC’s national examination staff, so that industry members can more effectively address those risks. The following SEC staff contributed substantially to preparing this Risk Alert: Julius Leiman-Carbia, Daniel Gregus, Rich Hannibal, George Kramer, Barbara Lorenzen and Karol Pollock The following FINRA staff also contributed substantially to preparing this Risk Alert: Michael Rufino, Paul Fagone, Donald Litteau and George Walz. (Press Rel. 2011-250) Enforcement ProceedingsIn the Matter of Joseph ValkoOn November 29, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Notice of Hearing against Joseph Valko. The proceedings are based on a judgment of permanent injunction entered by default in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Joseph Valko, et al., Civil Action Number 11-80038-CV-MARRA/JOHNSON, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The judgment permanently enjoins Valko from violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 15(a) and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. In the Order, the Division alleges Valko through telemarketers he managed, solicited investors to purchase securities in exchange for transaction-based compensation in the form of sales commissions. The Commission’s civil complaint alleges that from March through July 2008, Petroleum Unlimited, LLC and Petroleum Unlimited II, LLC raised approximately $2.9 million through offerings of limited liability company membership interests to investors. Valko conducted the private placement offerings through sales offices in Florida and New Jersey of a related company, GPS Management, Inc. GPS Management has never been registered with the Commission in any capacity. Valko was responsible for hiring, training, and monitoring GPS Management’s sales agents. Valko managed and operated the sales offices and knew sales agents and the offering materials were not advising investors about the sales commissions of 49% to 74%. A hearing before an administrative law judge will be scheduled to determine whether the allegations in the Order are true, to provide the Respondent an opportunity to respond to these allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest. The Order directs the administrative law judge to issue an initial decision no later than 210 days from the date of service of the Order. (Rel. 34-65848; File No. 3-14647) In the Matter of Robert RossiOn November 29, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Notice of Hearing against Robert Rossi. The proceedings are based on a judgment of permanent injunction entered by default in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Robert Rossi, et al., Civil Action Number 11-80038-CV-MARRA/JOHNSON, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The judgment permanently enjoins Rossi from violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 15(a) and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. In the Order, the Division alleges Rossi through telemarketers he managed, solicited investors to purchase securities in exchange for transaction-based compensation in the form of sales commissions. The Commission’s civil complaint alleges that from March through July 2008, Petroleum Unlimited, LLC and Petroleum Unlimited II, LLC raised approximately $2.9 million through offerings of limited liability company membership interests to investors. Rossi conducted the private placement offerings through sales offices in Florida and New Jersey of a related company, GPS Management, Inc. Rossi was responsible for GPS Management’s day-to-day operations. GPS Management has never been registered with the Commission in any capacity. Rossi managed and operated the sales offices and knew sales agents and the offering materials were not advising investors about the sales commissions of 49% to 74%. A hearing before an administrative law judge will be scheduled to determine whether the allegations in the Order are true, to provide the Respondent an opportunity to respond to these allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest. The Order directs the administrative law judge to issue an initial decision no later than 210 days from the date of service of the Order. (Rel. 34-65849; File No. 3-14648) In the Matter of Hanes Morgan & Co., Inc. and Uche AkwubaOn November 29, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Sections 203(e), 203(f) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and Section 9(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order. The Order finds that Respondents Hanes Morgan and Akwuba made false and misleading statements to potential advisory clients. The Order also finds that Respondents did not disclose Akwuba’s 1998 wire fraud conviction or his 1991 bar from association with any NASD member firm. The Order finds that Hanes Morgan willfully violated Sections 206(1), 206(2) and 206(4) of the Advisers Act, and Rules 206(4)-1(a)(3), 206(4)-1(a)(5) and 206(4)-4(a)(2) thereunder, and Akwuba willfully violated Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act and willfully aided and abetted and caused Hanes Morgan’s violations. Based on the above, the Order (i) requires Hanes Morgan and Akwuba to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) and Rule 206(4)-1 promulgated thereunder; (ii) bars Akwuba from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization, and prohibits him from serving or acting as an employee, officer, director, member of an advisory board, investment adviser or depositor of, or principal underwriter for, a registered investment company or affiliated person of such investment adviser, depositor, or principal underwriter; (iii) censures Hanes Morgan; and (iv) orders Hanes Morgan and Akwuba each to pay a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $100,000. Hanes Morgan and Akwuba consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the Order’s findings. (Rel. IA-3326; IC-29877; File No. 3-14649) Delinquent Filer’s Stock Registration RevokedThe registration of the registered securities of Si Mei Te Food Ltd. (f/k/a China Discovery Acquisition Corp.) has been revoked. It had repeatedly failed to file required annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thus, it violated a crucial provision of the federal securities laws that requires public corporations to publicly disclose current, accurate financial information so that investors may make informed decisions. The revocation was ordered in an administrative proceeding before an administrative law judge. (Rel. 34-65850; File No. 3-14432) In the Matter of Chetan KapurOn November 30, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Chetan Kapur (Kapur). On November 16, 2011, a judgment was entered by consent against Kapur, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Chetan Kapur, Civil Action Number 11-Civ-8094, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. According to the Order, the Commission’s complaint alleges that Kapur and ThinkStrategy, over nearly seven years, misrepresented to their investors various information concerning the funds’ investment performance, longevity, assets, and the credentials and experience of ThinkStrategy’s management team. The complaint further alleges that, with respect to the Multi-Strategy Fund, Kapur and ThinkStrategy misstated the scope and quality of their due diligence checks on portfolio managers and hedge funds selected for investment. Had ThinkStrategy adhered to its stated due diligence standards, the Multi-Strategy Fund may not have invested detrimentally in several hedge funds that were later revealed to be Ponzi schemes or other serious frauds. Based on the above, the Order bars Kapur from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal adviser, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Kapur consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except as to the entry of the injunction. (Rel. IA-3327; File No. 3-14650) Former FDA Chemist Settles SEC Insider Trading ChargesThe Commission today announced the entry of a final judgment against Cheng Yi Liang, a former chemist who worked at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Commission previously alleged that Liang traded based on confidential information he obtained from the FDA in advance of at least 28 public announcements about FDA drug approval decisions for profits and losses avoided of more than $3.7 million. Liang concealed his trading by trading in eight brokerage accounts in the name of six nominees. For example, the SEC alleged that Liang traded in advance of an FDA announcement approving Clinical Data’s application for the drug Viibryd. Liang accessed a confidential FDA database that contained critical documents and information about the FDA’s review of Clinical Data’s application, and then used that information to purchase more than 46,000 shares of Clinical Data at a cost of more than $700,000. After the markets closed on Friday, January 21, 2011, the FDA issued a press release approving Viibryd. Clinical Data’s stock price rose by more than 67 percent the following Monday, and Liang sold his entire Clinical Data position for a profit of approximately $380,000. Without admitting or denying allegations in the amended complaint, Liang consented to entry of a final judgment enjoining him from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and requiring him to pay $3,776,152 in disgorgement. Liang’s disgorgement will be deemed satisfied by the forfeiture order entered in the parallel criminal case, United States v. Cheng Yi Liang, Criminal No. 8:11-cr-00530-DKC (D. Md.), in which he pleaded guilty to charges of securities fraud and making false statements. [SEC v. Cheng Yi Liang, et al., Civil Action No. 8:11-cv-00819-DKC (D. Md.)] (LR-22171) SEC Resolves Fraud-Based Lawsuit Against Chicago-Area Hedge Fund Adviser and Its OwnerThe Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on November 17 Judge John F. Grady of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered a final judgment against Jeffrey R. Neufeld (Neufeld) and Paridon Capital Management LLC (Paridon) of Elgin, Illinois for defrauding the TCM Global Strategy Fund (TCM Fund or the fund), a hedge fund, and its investors. Without admitting or denying the Commission’s allegations, Neufeld and Paridon consented to the entry of the final judgment which imposed a $75,000 civil penalty against Neufeld. Previously, on April 27, 2011, the Court permanently enjoined Neufeld and Paridon from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1), 206(2), 206(3), and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder. Neufeld and Paridon also consented to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest of $53,182.33 to an injured investor. According to the Commission’s complaint, Paridon, an investment adviser, and its owner, Neufeld, fraudulently operated the TCM Fund since 2006. Neufeld and Paridon allegedly lied about the fund’s assets under management and reported inflated returns that were not based on actual trading. They also used fictitious returns to lure investors into the TCM Fund. The complaint also alleges that Neufeld and Paridon caused the fund to use a significant portion of its investor money to buy “debt securities” issued by Paridon. Although called debt securities, this investment was in reality a loan from the fund to Paridon. The debt securities were also not permitted investments for the fund, were not disclosed and consented to by the fund, and were improperly marked up by Neufeld and Paridon to offset and hide significant trading losses. [SEC v. Jeffrey R. Neufeld and Paridon Capital Management LLC f/k/a Tritone Capital Management, LLC, Case No. 10-CV-2399 (N.D. IL)] (LR-22172) ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONSA summary included in the November 4th issue of the Digest, entitled Federal Court Enters Judgments of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief Against Defendants Christopher M. Dubeau and Atlantis Technology Group, has been amended as follows: Federal Court Enters Judgments of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief Against Defendants Christopher M. Dubeau and Atlantis Technology GroupThe United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida has entered final judgments on consent against defendants Christopher M. Dubeau and Atlantis Technology Group, enjoining them from violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. The Court’s final judgments, issued on October 31, 2011, enjoin Dubeau and Atlantis from violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and also enjoin Dubeau from violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to granting injunctive relief, the Court permanently barred Dubeau from participating in an offering of a penny stock and from acting as an officer or director of any public company. The Court also ordered Dubeau to disgorge his ill-gotten gains of $312,000.00, plus prejudgment interest in the amount of $12,947.93, and pay a civil penalty of $100,000.00. The Commission’s Complaint against Dubeau and Atlantis, filed September 30, 2010, alleges that from at least August 7, 2009 through April 5, 2010, they issued numerous false press releases claiming, among other things, that Atlantis’ subsidiary, Global Online Television Corporation (GOTV), offered internet protocol television and video phone services to consumers, and claiming that GOTV had relationships with television networks to offer their content to Atlantis subscribers. The Complaint further alleges these claims were not true because, at the time Atlantis issued its press releases, GOTV was not able to offer internet protocol television services to consumers or video phone service, and it did not have relationships with television networks to offer content to its subscribers.
