Rules and Related MattersSEC Adopts New Rule Establishing Credit Quality Standard to Replace Credit Rating Reference in Investment Company Act Exemption for Business and Industrial Development CompaniesThe Securities and Exchange Commission today adopted a new rule under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that establishes a credit quality standard in place of a credit rating reference in that Act, as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. New rule 6a-5 under the Investment Company Act establishes a credit quality standard for debt securities issued by investment companies and private funds that business and industrial development companies relying on an exemption from regulation under section 6(a)(5) of the Investment Company Act may purchase. The rule will become effective 30 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register. The full text of the release adopting the rule is available on the SEC website. (Rel. IC-30268; File No. S7-07-11) Enforcement ProceedingsSEC Charges Ring of High School Buddies with Insider Trading in Health Care StocksThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged three health care company employees and four others in a New Jersey-based insider trading ring of various high school friends generating $1.7 million in illegal profits and kickbacks by trading in advance of 11 public announcements involving mergers, a drug approval application, and quarterly earnings of pharmaceutical companies and medical technology firms. The SEC alleges that Celgene Corporation’s director of financial reporting John Lazorchak, Sanofi S.A.’s director of accounting and reporting Mark S. Cupo, and Stryker Corporation’s marketing employee Mark D. Foldy each illegally tipped confidential information about their companies for the purpose of insider trading. Typically the nonpublic information involved upcoming mergers or acquisitions, but Lazorchak also tipped confidential details about Celgene’s quarterly earnings and the status of a Celgene application to expand the use of its drug Revlimid. The trading was carefully orchestrated so there was usually someone acting solely as a non-trading middleman who received the nonpublic information from the insider and tipped others. They hoped to avoid detection with no direct connection between the insiders and the traders, and the insiders were later compensated for the inside information with cash payments made in installments to avoid any scrutiny of large cash withdrawals. The SEC alleges that Cupo’s friend Michael Castelli along with Lawrence Grum, who attended high school with Castelli, were the primary traders in the scheme. Among the ways that Castelli and Grum tried to hide their illegal conduct was by compiling binders of research to serve as a false basis for their trading. They actively traded in Celgene securities to create a pattern of long-standing positions in the stock. Grum reassured Cupo that discovery of the scheme and consequent legal action was unlikely due to limited government resources to police insider trading activity. Grum said, “At the end of the day, the SEC’s got to pick their battle because they have a limited number of people and a huge number of investors to go after.” Daniel M. Hawke, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s Market Abuse Unit and Director of the Philadelphia Regional Office, said, “This is yet another case where wrongdoers believed they could outsmart investigators by creating an elaborate smokescreen to hide their insider trading. Such tactics as using middlemen to pass inside information and compiling research to falsely justify illegal trades will not prevent lawbreakers from getting caught.” The other two traders charged are Lazorchak’s high school friends Michael T. Pendolino and James N. Deprado, who now live in New Hampshire and Virginia respectively. The others live in New Jersey. In a parallel criminal action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey today announced criminal charges against Lazorchak, Cupo, Foldy, Castelli, Grum, and Pendolino. According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the scheme began in late 2007 when Lazorchak and Cupo, who were friends and colleagues at Sanofi, discussed Lazorchak’s new position at Celgene where he’d have access to nonpublic information about mergers and acquisitions. Lazorchak told Cupo that he was initially working on Celgene’s possible acquisition of another pharmaceutical company, Pharmion. Cupo discussed Lazorchak’s position with Castelli, a friend with whom he attends winemaking club meetings. Castelli brought in Grum, who he considered a sophisticated trader with knowledge of the securities industry. Castelli and Grum devised the scheme in which Lazorchak tipped Cupo with nonpublic Celgene-related information. Cupo, as the middleman, tipped Castelli and Grum so they could illegally trade. Castelli and Grum paid Cupo for his tips, and gave Cupo money to pass along to Lazorchak for the initial tips. Lazorchak never knew the identities of Castelli or Grum, but was aware that Cupo was passing confidential Celgene information to other traders. The SEC alleges that Lazorchak’s high school friend Foldy entered the scheme in 2007, when Lazorchak tipped him with confidential details about the impending merger between Celgene and Pharmion, and Foldy illegally traded on the information prior to the public announcement of the deal. Lazorchak and Foldy devised and used code phrases while conversing to identify instances when Lazorchak was passing inside information or Foldy was seeking more details. After the illegal trading occurred and Foldy obtained illicit profits of $14,500, Lazorchak repeatedly demanded that Foldy compensate him for the inside information. Foldy ultimately paid Lazorchak at least $500 and later returned the favor with illegal tips of confidential information about a tender offer involving his employer, Stryker Corp. Lazorchak acted as a middleman and did not trade, instead tipping Pendolino so he could trade on the nonpublic information. Pendolino in turn tipped Deprado, who also traded. Lazorchak additionally tipped Cupo, who did not trade but acted as a middleman and tipped Castelli and Grum, who both traded. The SEC alleges that Cupo began tipping inside information about his employer in late 2009, when he learned that Sanofi was planning to announce a tender offer to acquire another pharmaceutical company, Chattem Inc. Cupo learned of the imminent tender offer a few days prior to the public announcement, he tipped Castelli and Grum with the confidential details, and they both traded on the nonpublic information. The SEC alleges that each of the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5 and 14e-3 thereunder and that Castelli and Grum violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. The SEC is seeking permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, financial penalties, and officer and director bars for Lazorchak, Cupo, and Foldy. The SEC’s investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by Colleen K. Lynch, David W. Snyder and John S. Rymas, who are members of the Market Abuse Unit in the SEC’s Philadelphia office. G. Jeffrey Boujoukos and Catherine E. Pappas are handling the litigation. The SEC brought this enforcement action in coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey. The SEC also appreciates the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the Options Regulatory Surveillance Authority. (Press Rel. 2012-234); [SEC v. John Lazorchak, et al., Case No. 2:12-cv-07164-KSH-PS (D. N.J.)] (LR-22535) Securities and Exchange Commission Orders Hearing on Registration Suspension or Revocation Against Eight Public Companies for Failure to Make Required Periodic FilingsToday the Commission instituted public administrative proceedings to determine whether to revoke or suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months the registrations of each class of the securities of eight companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:
In this Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that the eight issuers are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission. In this proceeding, instituted pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(j), a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At the hearing, the Administrative Law Judge will hear evidence from the Division and the Respondents to determine whether the allegations of the Division contained in the Order, which the Division alleges constitute failures to comply with Exchange Act Section 13(a) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder, are true. The Administrative Law Judge in the proceeding will then determine whether the registrations pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 of each class of the securities of these Respondents should be revoked or suspended for a period not exceeding twelve months. The Commission ordered that the Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding issue an initial decision not later than 120 days from the date of service of the order instituting proceedings. (Rel. 34-68256; File No. 3-15099) In the Matter of Wilfred R. BlumAn Administrative Law Judge issued an Order Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions by Default (Default Order) in Wilfred R. Blum, Admin. Proc. File No. 3-14961. The Corrected Order Instituting Proceedings (OIP) alleged that a judgment was entered against Wilfred R. Blum and Alexander Lindale, LLC, permanently enjoining them from violating Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act); ordering them to pay $3,291,352 in disgorgement and $557,218.33 in prejudgment interest; and barring them from participating in an offering of penny stock under Section 20(g) of the Securities Act and Section 21(d)(6) of the Exchange Act, in SEC v. Copper King Mining Corp., No. 2:11-CV-00526 (D. Utah June 28, 2012). The Default Order finds the allegations of the OIP to be true and concludes that, pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act, it is in the public interest to bar Respondents from association with a broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent, or from participating in an offering of penny stock. The Default Order further concludes that, pursuant to Section 9(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, it is in the public interest to unconditionally and permanently prohibit Respondents 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. (Rel. 34-68258; IC-30269; File No. 3-14961) In the Matter of Charles C. Slowey, Jr.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 Charles C. Slowey, Jr. (Slowey). The Order finds that from May 27, 2003 through February 4, 2006, Slowey was a registered representative at Advanced Planning Securities, Inc., a registered broker-dealer, from at least June 1, 2004 until December 31, 2008. The Order further finds that on October 22, 2012, a final judgment was entered by consent against Slowey, permanently enjoining him from violating the antifraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws in the civil action entitled SEC v. Charles C. Slowey, Jr., et al., Civil Action Number 09 Civ. 4547 (LDW) (ETB), in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The Order further finds that the Commission’s Complaint in that action alleges that Slowey made materially misleading statements to investors in real estate investment funds managed by him and misappropriated funds from these investors. The Complaint also alleges that, from approximately March 2004 through August 2006, Slowey offered and sold securities for which there was no registration statement in effect and for which no exemption from the registration requirements applied. Based on the above, the Order bars Slowey 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. Slowey 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. 34-68259; File No. 3-15100) SEC Charges New York-Based Fraudster Who Spent Investor Funds on Drugs and GamblingThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a purported investment adviser in New York with defrauding investors who he convinced to invest in his start-up businesses while in reality he was spending their money on illegal drugs and gambling. The SEC alleges that Stephen A. Colangelo, Jr. repeatedly misled investors while raising $3 million in investments for four start-up companies that he created. He also persuaded three other investors to let him act as their investment adviser and they gave him more than $1 million to invest in the markets on their behalf. Colangelo boasted a phony professional and educational background and hid his past criminal activities from potential investors, and he falsely claimed to have historically achieved extremely high returns buying and selling securities. Meanwhile, Colangelo siphoned off at least $1 million in investor funds to pay such unauthorized personal expenses as his federal income taxes, illegal narcotics, gambling, cigars, and travel for him and his family. In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York today announced criminal charges against Colangelo. “Colangelo used blatantly false claims of investment success to lure investors to pour a substantial portion of their life savings into his numerous business and investment schemes,” said Andrew M. Calamari, Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office. “In reality they were footing the bill for his illegal activities, luxury vacations, and even his income taxes.” According to the SEC’s complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Colangelo’s fraudulent scheme began in 2009 when he induced investors to invest more than $750,000 in the Brickell Fund LLC, a pooled investment vehicle that he created, advised, and controlled. In March 2009 when the Brickell Fund did not have any investors and Colangelo was not buying and selling securities on behalf of the fund, he sent numerous e-mails to potential investors boasting phony information. For instance, one e-mail claimed, “BEST TRADING DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!. . . . Up over 400% and documented. Mind boggling to say the least.” In reality, Colangelo did not make any trades that day. The SEC alleges that after spending or losing all of the money invested in the Brickell Fund, Colangelo continued to fraudulently raise funds from investors for three other startup businesses he created – Hedge Community LLC, Start a Hedge Fund LLC, and Under the Radar SEO LLC. Some individuals provided Colangelo with funds directly to invest on their behalf. Colangelo continued to use investor funds for a variety of purposes that weren’t disclosed to investors, namely personal expenses and unrelated business expenses. According to the SEC’s complaint, Colangelo created a profile on the LinkedIn website used for professional networking and misrepresented that he had studied finance at Nyack College from 1986 to 1989. Colangelo provided a link to his profile to potential and existing investors in one of his start-up companies. His representations to investors were false because he never attended Nyack College and has not graduated from high school. The SEC’s complaint charges Colangelo with violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, and seeks permanent injunctions, financial penalties, and disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest. The SEC’s investigation was conducted in the New York Regional Office by Senior Attorney Christina McGill and Assistant Regional Director Wendy B. Tepperman. The SEC’s litigation will be led by Senior Trial Counsel Kevin McGrath. The SEC thanks the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their assistance in this matter. (Press Rel. 2012-235); [SEC v. Stephen A.
