Securities and Exchange Commission Suspends Trading in the Securities of Six Issuers for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced the temporary suspension of trading in the securities of the following issuers, commencing at 9:30 a.m. EST on December 12, 2012 and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 26, 2012.

  • The Hartcourt Companies, Inc. (HRCT)
  • Hawksdale Financial Visions, Inc. (n/k/a Advanced Medical Institute, Inc.) (AVMD)
  • Healthcare Providers Direct, Inc. (HPRD)
  • Heartland Oil & Gas Corp. (HTOG)
  • Hellenic Solutions Corp. (AEGZF)
  • HIV-VAC, Inc. (n/k/a Grupo International, Inc.) (GRPI)

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of these six issuers due to a lack of current and accurate information about the companies because they have not filed periodic reports with the Commission in over two years. This order was entered pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).

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 these companies.

Brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11, at the termination of the trading suspensions, no quotation may be entered relating to the securities of the subject companies unless and until the broker or dealer has strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by the rule, it should refrain from entering quotations relating to the securities of these companies that have been subject to a trading suspension until such time as it has familiarized itself with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met. Any broker or dealer with questions regarding the rule should contact the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, DC at (202) 551-5720. 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 communicate it to the Delinquent Filings Group of the Division of Enforcement at (202) 551-5466, or by e-mail at DelinquentFilings@sec.gov. (Rel. 34-68410)

SEC Chief of Staff Didem A. Nisanci to Leave Agency

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that SEC Chief of Staff Didem A. Nisanci will leave the agency at the end of this week.

SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro named Ms. Nisanci as Chief of Staff in March 2009. In that position, Ms. Nisanci has been a senior advisor to the Chairman on policy, management, and regulatory issues. She played an integral role in the SEC’s efforts in the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act. She also has served as an SEC deputy to the Financial Services Oversight Council.

“Didem has been a trusted adviser who has always offered solid judgment and wise counsel on critical policy matters,” said SEC Chairman Schapiro. “Didem’s leadership has helped us to reform and improve so much of the way the agency operates. Investors everywhere are better off today because of her public service and commitment to enhancing the integrity of the nation’s securities markets.”

Ms. Nisanci said, "It’s been a great honor to serve at the SEC during such a pivotal and consequential period. I have been fortunate to work with so many talented and dedicated professionals both at the SEC and across the financial regulatory community to advance the Commission’s mission and work on fundamental issues relating to enhancing the integrity, resiliency, and transparency of our financial markets.”

Before coming to the SEC, Ms. Nisanci served as Staff Director for the U.S. Senate Banking Subcommittee on Securities, Insurance, and Investment, chaired by Sen. Jack Reed. During her tenure, the subcommittee held hearings examining the financial crisis, over-the-counter derivatives, credit rating agencies, risk management, consolidated supervised entities, and accounting. Ms. Nisanci also served as a lead staff negotiator for key provisions of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.

Ms. Nisanci earned a B.A. in Economics and Government from Smith College in 1995. (Press Rel. 2012-263)

Enforcement proceedings

Hedge Fund Manager to Pay $44 Million for Illegal Trading in Chinese Bank Stocks

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged the manager of two New York-based hedge funds with conducting a pair of trading schemes involving Chinese bank stocks and making $16.7 million in illicit profits. He and his firms have agreed to pay $44 million to settle the SEC’s charges.

The SEC alleges that Sung Kook “Bill” Hwang, the founder and portfolio manager of Tiger Asia Management and Tiger Asia Partners, committed insider trading by short selling three Chinese bank stocks based on confidential information they received in private placement offerings. Hwang and his advisory firms then covered the short positions with private placement shares purchased at a significant discount to the stocks’ market price. They separately attempted to manipulate the prices of publicly traded Chinese bank stocks in which Hwang’s hedge funds had substantial short positions by placing losing trades in an attempt to lower the price of the stocks and increase the value of the short positions. This enabled Hwang and Tiger Asia Management to illicitly collect higher management fees from investors.

In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey today announced criminal charges against Tiger Asia Management.

“Hwang today learned the painful lesson that illegal offshore trading is not off-limits from U.S. law enforcement, and tomorrow’s would-be securities law violators would be well-advised to heed this warning,” said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.

Sanjay Wadhwa, Associate Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office and Deputy Chief of the Enforcement Division’s Market Abuse Unit, added, “Hwang betrayed his duty of confidentiality by trading ahead of the private placements, and betrayed his fiduciary obligations when he defrauded his investors by collecting fees earned from his attempted manipulation scheme.”

The SEC also charged Raymond Y.H. Park for his roles in both schemes as the head trader of the two hedge funds involved – Tiger Asia Fund and Tiger Asia Overseas Fund. Park, who lives in Riverdale, N.Y., also agreed to settle the SEC’s charges. Hwang lives in Tenafly, N.J.

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Newark, N.J., from December 2008 to January 2009, Hwang and his advisory firms participated in two private placements for Bank of China stock and one private placement for China Construction Bank stock. Before disclosing material nonpublic information about the offerings, the placement agents required wall-crossing agreements from Park and the firms to keep the information confidential and refrain from trading until the transaction took place. Despite agreeing to those terms, Hwang ordered Park to make short sales in each stock in the days prior to the private placement. Hwang and his firms illegally profited by $16.2 million by using the discounted private placement shares they received to cover the short sales they had entered into based on inside information about the placements.

The SEC further alleges that on at least four occasions from November 2008 to February 2009, Hwang and his firms, with Park’s assistance, attempted to manipulate the month-end closing prices of Chinese bank stocks publicly listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. These stocks were among the largest short position holdings in the hedge funds’ portfolios. The more assets the hedge funds had under management, the greater the management fee that Tiger Asia Management was entitled to collect. So Hwang directed Park to place losing trades in order to depress the stock prices, which would inflate the calculation of the management fees. Hwang and Tiger Asia Management made approximately $496,000 in fraudulent management fees through this scheme.

The SEC’s complaint charges Hwang, his firms, and Park with violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 as well as Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. Hwang and his firms also are charged with violating Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8, and Park is charged with aiding and abetting those violations.

The settlements, which are subject to court approval, require Hwang, Tiger Asia Management, and Tiger Asia Partners to collectively pay $19,048,787 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest. Each of them has agreed to pay a penalty of $8,294,348 for a total of 24,883,044. Park agreed to pay $39,819 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, and a penalty of $34,897. With the exception of Tiger Asia Management, the defendants neither admit nor deny the charges.

The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Thomas P. Smith, Jr., Sandeep Satwalekar, and Amelia A. Cottrell of the SEC’s Market Abuse Unit in New York, and Frank Milewski of the New York Regional Office. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Japanese Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission, and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission.

Commission Orders Hearings on Registration Suspension or Revocation Against Six Companies for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

In conjunction with these trading suspensions, the Commission today also instituted public administrative proceedings to determine whether to revoke or suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months the registration of each class of the securities of six companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:

  • The Hartcourt Companies, Inc. (HRCT)
  • Hawksdale Financial Visions, Inc. (n/k/a Advanced Medical Institute, Inc.)
  • (AVMD)
  • Healthcare Providers Direct, Inc. (HPRD)
  • Heartland Oil & Gas Corp. (HTOG)
  • Hellenic Solutions Corp. (AEGZF)
  • HIV-VAC, Inc. (n/k/a Grupo International, Inc.) (GRPI)

In this Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that the respective Respondents are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission.

In these proceedings, instituted pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(j), a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At the hearing, the 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 judge in the proceedings 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 the proceedings issue an initial decision not later than 120 days from the date of service of the order instituting proceedings. (Rel. 34-68409; File No. 3-15128)

Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of EarthBlock Technologies, Inc. for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

On December 12, 2012, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of EarthBlock Technologies, Inc. (EBLC) for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission.

Without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except as to jurisdiction, which it admitted, EBLC consented to the entry of an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registration of Securities Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to EarthBlock Technologies, Inc. finding that it had failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder and revoking the registration of each class of EBLC’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. This order settled the charges brought against EBLC in In the Matter of DIAS Holding, Inc., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-15090.

Brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that Exchange Act Section 12(j) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

No member of a national securities exchange, broker, or dealer shall make use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce to effect any transaction in, or to induce the purchase or sale of, any security the registration of which has been and is suspended or revoked . . .
