Commission Announcements

Commission Completes 18th Annual International Enforcement Institute

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the completion of its 18th Annual International Enforcement Institute, held from Nov. 5 to Nov. 9 at SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C., with participants from 60 different countries.  In all, 161 officials from foreign stock exchanges and other regulatory and law enforcement agencies attended the weeklong training program.

SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro said, “The commitment of securities regulators around the globe to protecting their investors and markets from those that would cause them harm has never been stronger.  Through this program, the SEC staff teaches and learns enforcement best practices.  We stand alongside our foreign law enforcement partners, ready to protect our capital markets from fraudsters, manipulators, and schemers, wherever they may lurk.”  

SEC Enforcement Division Director Rob Khuzami and former Enforcement Directors Linda Chatman Thompson, William McLucas, and Gary G. Lynch, kicked off the event with a discussion of the experiences and challenges of their tenure.  The Institute also featured presentations by dozens of SEC officials, two U.S. Attorney’s Offices, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, on topics such as insider trading and other market abuses, market intelligence and surveillance, investigative techniques, anti-money laundering initiatives, and optimal remedies for violations.

"In a world of global financial markets, where securities fraud crosses borders as easily as capital, cross-border cooperation in investigations and enforcement is essential,” said Ethiopis Tafara, Director of the SEC’s Office of International Affairs.  “The professional and personal relationships formed at these Institutes provide a strong foundation for us to address shared challenges and continue to learn from and assist our counterparts in what is truly a common mission.”

The Institute is part of the SEC’s Technical Assistance Program, whose annual International Institute for Securities Market Development took place in April.  For more information on the Technical Assistance Program, contact Z. Scott Birdwell or Erin McCartney in the SEC’s Office of International Affairs at 202-551-6690, or by email at OIA@SEC.gov. (Press Rel. 2012-256)

SEC Suspends Trading in Securities of Emerging World Pharma

The Commission announced the temporary suspension, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), of trading in the securities of Emerging World Pharma, Inc., (“Emerging World”) commencing at 9:30 a.m. EST on December 6, 2012, and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 19, 2012.

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in Emerging World because of questions regarding the adequacy and accuracy of information about Emerging World, including, among other things, its business operations and current financial condition.  Emerging World’s ticker symbol is EWPI.

The Commission cautions brokers, dealers, shareholders, and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by Emerging World. 

Further, brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, at the termination of the trading suspensions, no quotation may be entered unless and until they have strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If any broker or dealer has any questions as to whether or not he has complied with the rule, he should not enter any quotation but immediately contact the staff in the Division of Trading and Markets, Office of Interpretation and Guidance, at (202) 551-5777.  If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by Rule 15c2-11, he should refrain from entering quotations relating to the above-named securities until such time as he has familiarized himself with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met.  If any broker or dealer enters any quotation which is in violation of the rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement action.

If any broker, dealer or other person has any information which may relate to this matter, they should immediately contact the following individuals:

David Rosenfeld, (212) 336-0153 or rosenfeldd@sec.gov
Associate Regional Director, New York Regional Office

Commission Amends rule 19b-4(N)(1), Rule 19b-4(O)(2) and Form 19b-4 to Extend Dates for Certain Requirements

On December 5, 2012, the Commission adopted amendments to Rule 19b-4(n)(1) and Rule 19b-4(o)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to extend the date with respect to the requirement that designated clearing agencies for which the Commission is the supervisory agency file advance notices and clearing agencies file security-based swap submissions with the Commission in an electronic format to dedicated email addresses established by the Commission to December 10, 2013.  The Commission also adopted amendments to Form 19b-4 to make conforming changes to clarify how advance notices and security-based swap submissions, and amendments, extensions, or withdrawals thereto, are required to be filed with the Commission.  The amendments will become effective immediately upon publication in the Federal Register.   (Rel. 34-68357; File No. S7-44-10). 

Enforcement Proceedings

Final Judgment by default against Defendant John Zanic

The Commission announced that on December 5, 2012, the Honorable Kimba M. Wood, United States District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York, entered a final judgment by default against Defendant John Zanic.  The final judgment permanently enjoins Zanic from future violations of Sections 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and permanently bars Zanic from participating in an offering of penny stock.  The final judgment also holds Zanic liable for total combined disgorgement and prejudgment interest of $86,551.35 and a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $130,000.

On September 18, 2008, the SEC filed its complaint against Glenn Grossman, Lawrence Steven Cohen, Shay Keren, and John Zanic (collectively, the “Defendants”) alleging that from at least April 2008, the Defendants engaged in a fraudulent broker bribery scheme designed to manipulate the market for the common stock of Guyana Gold, Corp.  The complaint alleges that the Defendants engaged in an undisclosed kickback arrangement with an individual who claimed to represent a group of registered representatives with trading discretion over the accounts of wealthy customers. 

For further information, please see Litigation Release Number 22498 (September 27, 2012) [Court Enters Final Judgments by Consent Against SEC Defendants Shay Keren and Lawrence Steven Cohen], Litigation Release Number 20776 (October 8, 2008) [SEC Charges Four Stock Promoters with Market Manipulation] and Litigation Release Number 22184 (December 9, 2011) [Court Enters Final Judgment by Consent Against SEC Defendant Glenn Grossman].

The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in this matter.  [Securities and Exchange Commission v. Glenn Grossman, Lawrence Steven Cohen, Shay Keren, and John Zanic, Civil Action No. 08-cv-8078 (KMW) (SDNY)] (LR- 22559)

In The Matter of Martin M. Werner

The Commission announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Rule 102(e) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Martin M. Werner. 

The Order finds that Werner resides in Boca Raton, Florida.  He is an attorney licensed to practice law in Florida since approximately 1985.  In November 2003, Werner began serving as corporate counsel for Merendon Mining (Nevada) Inc. (Merendon Nevada), a Nevada corporation that offered and sold securities to investors.  In April 2007, Werner became the president of Syndicated Gold Depository S.A. (SGD), a Bahamian registered corporation that operated from offices in Miami, Florida, and which offered and sold securities to investors.  In about November 2007, Werner became the president of Bearstone Capital Management Inc. (Bearstone), another company that offered and sold securities to investors.    On June 10, 2010, the Commission filed a complaint against Werner in SEC v. Merendon Mining (Nevada), Inc. et al., et al. (W.D. Wash. civil action No. 2:10-cv-955-RAJ).  On October 30, 3012, the court entered an order permanently enjoining Werner, by consent, from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.  The Commission’s complaint alleged, among other things, that Werner used SGD as a part of a fraudulent scheme to provide capital for Merendon Mining Corp. Ltd., a corporation formed in Alberta, Canada.  Werner, as the president of SGD, directly or indirectly offered and sold SGD’s securities, and made false and misleading statements to salesmen and investors about, among other things, the rate of return paid by SGD securities, the use of investors’ funds, the security of the investment, and independence of the various companies.  The complaint also alleged that during 2007, Werner offered and sold securities of Merendon Nevada which made corresponding investments in SGD.  Further, the complaint alleged that beginning in February or March 2007, Werner used one or more of his attorney trust accounts to receive funds from investors in SGD or the other selected companies, pay purported returns back to investors, and pay funds for the benefit of others involved in the scheme.  Werner knew from participation in various meetings that investors’ funds were uses as part of a Ponzi scheme and that his trust account was used to hide the movement of the funds. 

Based on the above, the Order suspends Werner from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an attorney.  Werner consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings, except that he admitted the entry of the final judgment against him. (Rel 34-68364: File No. 3-15118)

In The Matter of Adam Harrington

The Commission announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings and Notice of Hearing Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) against Adam Harrington, aka Adam Rukdeschel and Adam Harrington Ruckdeschel.

The Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges in the Order that on July 26, 2011 Harrington was convicted of securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, and conspiracy (to commit those three offenses), in violation of 15 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b) and 78ff; 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5; and 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341, 1342, and 1343, before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in United States v. Ross Mandell, et al., 09-cr-662 (S.D.N.Y.).   Harrington, 42 years old, is a resident of Miami, Florida.  Harrington was a registered representative at Sky Capital LLC (now known as Granta Capital LLC) (Sky Capital), a New York-based broker-dealer.  The counts of the criminal indictment under which Harrington was found guilty alleged, inter alia, that from in or about 1999 through in or about 2005, Harrington and others carried out a fraudulent scheme by soliciting millions of dollars from investors under false pretenses, manipulating the market for certain affiliated companies’ stocks, failing to use investors’ funds as promised, and misappropriating and converting investors’ funds without their knowledge. The indictment alleged that Harrington and others used material misrepresentations and omissions to cause individuals to invest in a series of purported investment opportunities, including private placements.  The indictment also alleged that Harrington and others raised a total of approximately $140 million from investors through their fraudulent scheme.  The indictment further alleged that Harrington and his co-defendants used those funds to enrich themselves, pay undisclosed commissions to brokers, and pay off earlier investors who had lost funds on prior purported investment opportunities.    On May 7, 2012, Harrington was sentenced in Mandell to a 60-month prison term, followed by three years of supervised release, and a money judgment of $20,000,000.  On September 26, 2012, the Mandell Court further ordered Harrington to pay an additional $24,880,460 in restitution to the victims of his criminal activities.

A hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the Order are true, to provide Harrington an opportunity to dispute the allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate and in the public interest.  The Order requires the Administrative Law Judge to issue an initial decision no later than 210 days from the date of service of the Order, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. For more information about this matter, please see Litigation Release Number 21120 / July 8, 2009. (Rel. 34-68365; File No. 3-15119)
