ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

SEC Charges New York Stock Exchange for Improper Distribution of Market Data

NYSE Agrees to Settle Charges by Paying First-Ever SEC Financial Penalty Against An Exchange

The Securities and Exchange Commission today brought first-of-its-kind charges against the New York Stock Exchange for compliance failures that gave certain customers an improper head start on trading information.

SEC Regulation NMS (National Market System) prohibits the practice of improperly sending market data to proprietary customers before sending that data to be included in what are known as consolidated feeds, which broadly distribute trade and quote data to the public. This ensures the public has fair access to current market information about the best displayed prices for stocks and trades that have occurred.

According to the SEC's order against NYSE, the exchange violated this rule over an extended period of time beginning in 2008 by sending data through two of its proprietary feeds before sending data to the consolidated feeds. NYSE's inadequate compliance efforts failed to monitor the speed of its proprietary feeds compared to its data transmission to the consolidated feeds.

NYSE and its parent company NYSE Euronext agreed to a $5 million penalty and significant undertakings to settle the SEC's charges. It marks the first-ever SEC financial penalty against an exchange.

"Improper early access to market data, even measured in milliseconds, can in today's markets be a real and substantial advantage that disproportionately disadvantages retail and long-term investors," said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "That is why SEC rules mandate that exchanges give the public fair access to basic market data. Compliance with these rules is especially important given exchanges' for-profit business interests"

Daniel M. Hawke, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division's Market Abuse Unit, added, "The violations at NYSE may have been technological, but they were not technical. Robust technology governance is just as important to preventing investor harm as any other compliance or supervisory function."

Robert W. Cook, Director of the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets, said, "Market data is the lifeblood of the national market system. Our rules require exchanges to distribute information on quotes and trades to the consolidated data processors on terms that are 'fair and reasonable' and 'not unreasonably discriminatory.'"

According to the SEC's order, NYSE violated Rule 603(a) of SEC Regulation NMS. The two NYSE proprietary data feeds at issue were Open Book Ultra — which sends real-time data about NYSE's entire order book — and PDP Quotes, which contains NYSE's quote for each security. The transmission disparities had several causes. An internal NYSE system architecture gave one of the data feeds a faster path to customers than the path used to send data to the consolidated feed. Also there was a software issue in the internal NYSE system that sent data to the consolidated feed. The disparities in data release times ranged from single-digit milliseconds to multiple seconds.

The SEC's order finds that NYSE's compliance department was not involved in important technology decisions, including the design, implementation, and operation of NYSE's market data systems. By not involving the compliance department at critical junctures, NYSE missed opportunities to avoid compliance failures. NYSE also failed to retain computer files that contained information about its transmission of market data, including the times that NYSE sent data to be included in the consolidated feed. These computer files related to NYSE's compliance with Rule 603(a), and NYSE's failure to retain them complicated its ability to determine when it experienced delays sending data and calculate the length of delays when they occurred.

The SEC's order finds that NYSE violated Rule 603(a) of Regulation NMS and the record retention provisions of Section 17(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 17a-1, and NYSE Euronext, which supplied the personnel responsible for these systems and compliance, caused the violations. NYSE and NYSE Euronext agreed to a settlement without admitting or denying the Commission's findings. The order censures NYSE, imposes a $5 million penalty, and requires both NYSE and NYSE Euronext to cease and desist from committing or causing these violations. NYSE and NYSE Euronext are required to retain an independent consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of their market data delivery systems to ensure that they comply with Rule 603(a).

The SEC's investigation was conducted by members of the Enforcement Division's Market Abuse Unit including William Max Hathaway, David Herman, Ainsley Kerr, and Robert Cohen, and supervised by the unit's chief Daniel M. Hawke and deputy chief Sanjay Wadhwa. (Press Rel. 2012-189; Rel. 34-67857; File No. 3-15023)

In the Matter of R. Jeffrey Rooks, CPA

On September 13, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Rule102(e) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against R. Jeffrey Rooks, CPA. The Order finds that on September 5, 2012, a final judgment was entered against Rooks, providing for permanent injunctive relief under Sections 10(b) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5 and 14e-3 thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. R. Jeffrey Rooks, Civil Action Number 1:12-CV-2988-CAP, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The Commission’s complaint alleged, among other things, that Rooks traded in the securities of Chattem, Inc., while in possession of material, non-public information that had been tipped to him from an accounting partner who misappropriated the information from an accounting client, while further knowing that the information was obtained in breach of a duty of trust in confidence that the accounting partner owed to the accounting client.

Based on the above, the Order suspends Rooks from appearing or practicing before the Commission. Rooks consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings contained in the Order, except as to jurisdiction and the entry of the final judgment against him in Securities and Exchange Commission v. R. Jeffrey Rooks, which he admitted. (Rel. 34-67856; AAE Rel. 3405; File No. 3-15022)

Commission Declares Decision as to 4C Controls, Inc. Final

The decision of an administrative law judge with respect to 4C Controls, Inc. has become final. The law judge found that 4C Controls violated Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 by its failure to timely file any periodic reports since it filed a Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009.

4C Controls' request for an extension of time to file its missing periodic reports was subsequently denied by the law judge on the basis that he had allowed the company several months to remedy serious, long-standing violations, which were not in dispute, but 4C Controls has failed to do so. The law judge found that it was both necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors to revoke the registration of each class of the registered securities of 4C Controls. (Rel. 34-67858; File No. 3-14815)

Investment Adviser Sanctioned

Investment adviser Leaddog Capital Markets, LLC, f/k/a Leaddog Capital Partners, Inc. (Leaddog), and its owners, Chris Messalas (Messalas), and Joseph LaRocco, Esq. (LaRocco), have been sanctioned following a hearing before an administrative law judge. They were ordered to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions of the securities laws and, jointly and severally, to disgorge ill-gotten gains of $220,572 and pay a civil money penalty of $130,000. Additionally, Messalas was barred from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, or investment company, and LaRocco was barred from association with any investment adviser or investment company and was denied, permanently, the privilege of appearing or practicing before the Securities and Exchange Commission as an attorney.

The law judge found that Leaddog, Messalas, and LaRocco violated the antifraud provisions by making material misrepresentations and omissions in the operation of a hedge fund. (Initial Decision No. 468; File No. 3-14623)

In the Matter of Walter V. Gerasimowicz, Meditron Asset Management, LLC and Meditron Management Group, LLC

On September 14, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 (Order) against Walter V. Gerasimowicz (Gerasimowicz), Meditron Asset Management, LLC (MAM) and Meditron Management Group, LLC (MMG).

In the Order, the Division of Enforcement alleges that from 2009 through 2011, Gerasimowicz, MAM and MMG misappropriated approximately $2.65 million belonging to their hedge fund client, the Meditron Fundamental Value/Growth Fund, LLC (Meditron Fund). The Division of Enforcement further alleges that Respondents used Meditron Fund assets to provide financial support to SMC Electrical Contracting Inc. (SMC), a private contracting company managed by Gerasimowicz that is currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. According to the Division’s allegations, during this time period, Gerasimowicz, MAM and MMG continued to represent in both offering documents and communications to investors that the Meditron Fund maintained a diversified portfolio and employed measures to reduce risk, and failed to disclose the SMC investment or deviations from the Meditron Fund’s stated investment strategy. During this time, Gerasimowicz and MAM also failed to disclose the conflicts of interest resulting from their own investment of over $2 million in SMC.

The Division of Enforcement further alleges that MAM and Gerasimowicz misrepresented MAM’s assets under management at $1.1 billion in various magazine articles authored by Gerasimowicz and made available on MAM’s and MMG’s website. The Division also alleges that MAM and Gerasimowicz failed to distribute annual, audited financial statements to Meditron Fund investors within the prescribed time periods.

As alleged in the Order, Gerasimowicz, MAM and MMG willfully violated 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 Sections 206(1), 206(2) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act) and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder, and MAM, aided and abetted and caused by Gerasimowicz, violated Advisers Act Section 206(4) and Rules 206(4)-1 and 206(4)-2 thereunder.

A hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the Order are true, and to afford the Respondents an opportunity to establish defenses to the allegations, and to determine whether remedial action is 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 the Order, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. (Rels. 33-9361; 34-67860, IA-3464, IC-30202; File No. 3-15024)
