Enforcement proceedingsCommission Charges China-Based Executives in Scheme to Overstate Revenues and Divert Money for Personal UseThe Commission today charged husband-and-wife executives at a China-based company with engaging in a scheme to overstate the company’s revenues and divert proceeds from a securities offering for their personal use. The SEC alleges that RINO International Corporation’s chief executive officer Dejun “David” Zou and chairman of the board Jianping “Amy” Qiu diverted $3.5 million in company money to purchase a luxury home in Orange County, Calif., without disclosing it to investors. Conflicting information was provided to RINO’s outside auditor when questions were raised about the expenditure. Zou and Qiu also used offering proceeds to pay for automobiles as well as designer clothing and accessories without recording them as personal expenses or otherwise disclosing them in RINO’s public filings. The SEC issued a trading suspension in 2011 against RINO, which is a holding company for subsidiaries that manufacture, install, and service equipment for the Chinese steel industry. The company became a China-based U.S. issuer through a reverse merger in 2007. The trading suspension was based on questions raised about RINO’s public filings – signed and certified by Zou and Qiu – overstating company revenues by including false sales contracts. Zou and Qiu agreed to settle the SEC’s charges by paying penalties and consenting to decade-long bars from serving as officers or directors of any company publicly traded in the U.S. “Executives grossly abuse their positions of trust when they divert corporate funds for their personal spending,” said Antonia Chion, Associate Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “When making their investment decisions, RINO’s investors did not have the benefit of knowing that Zou and Qiu were diverting money and the company’s revenues were greatly exaggerated.” According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Washington D.C., RINO’s periodic filings contained false and misleading statements and omissions about the company’s revenue and operations from 2008 to 2010. RINO maintained two conflicting sets of financial records – one set of books for filings in China and another set of books for filings in the U.S. The Chinese books reflected sales of approximately $31 million from the first quarter of 2008 through the first three quarters of 2010. But the U.S. books that formed the basis for RINO’s SEC filings contained false contracts and portrayed sales revenues of approximately $491 million during that same time period – more than 15 times greater than the revenues recorded in the Chinese books. The SEC alleges that when RINO’s outside auditor discovered the $3.5 million diversion of money by Zou and Qiu, the auditor was first told that RINO intended to use the funds as a down payment for a joint venture opportunity in the U.S. When the auditor raised further questions, Zou claimed that he had authorized the use of the funds to purchase a property to serve as an office and temporary housing for RINO’s employees visiting the U.S. The auditor then went to RINO’s audit committee to raise concerns about the transaction because of the different explanations and the nature of the home. Zou and Qiu then agreed to reclassify the $3.5 million as a loan, and signed a promissory note bearing interest at current market rates. Zou and Qiu purportedly repaid the loan on May 10, 2010, using funds wired from a Chinese bank account to RINO’s U.S. bank account. That money was later wired back to an account in China. The SEC’s complaint charges RINO, Zou, and Qiu with violations of the anti-fraud, reporting, books and records, and internal control provisions of the federal securities laws. Without admitting or denying the allegations, RINO, Zou, and Qiu consented to the entry of a judgment permanently enjoining them from violations of the respective provisions of the securities laws. Zou and Qiu agreed to pay penalties of $150,000 and $100,000 respectively. They also paid the disgorgement amount of $3.5 million into a related class action settlement. Zou and Qiu consented to entry of an order prohibiting them from serving as officers and directors of a public company for 10 years. The settlement is subject to court approval. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Tom Swiers, Sarah Nilson, Kam Lee, and Melissa Hodgman of the SEC’s Cross Border Working Group, which focuses on U.S. companies with substantial foreign operations. Through the work of the Cross Border Working Group, the SEC has filed fraud cases involving more than 65 foreign issuers and executives, and deregistered the securities of more than 50 companies. (Press Rel. 2013-87; LR-22699) Final Settlements Reached In Golden Goose Insider Trading CaseThe Commission today announced that on May 14, 2013, the Honorable Lorna G. Schofield, United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York, entered final judgments against defendants Jamil Bouchareb, Daniel Corbin and Corbin’s companies, Corbin Investment Holdings, LLC and Augustus Management LLC. These are the last remaining defendants in a Commission case alleging widespread insider trading. The Commission’s case alleged the defendants traded in 11 to 12 corporate transactions based on inside information obtained from Matthew Devlin, a former Lehman Brothers, Inc. representative, who had misappropriated the confidential information from his wife, a partner in a public relations firm working on the deals. Because the inside information was valuable, Bouchareb and Corbin referred to Devlin’s wife as the “golden goose.” A judgment against defendant Matthew Devlin was previously entered by the Court. Bouchareb and Corbin agreed to pay a total of over $1.2 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest to settle the Commission’s charges. The final judgments against Bouchareb, Corbin and Corbin’s companies permanently enjoin them from violating antifraud provisions Sections 10(b) and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5 and 14e-3. Bouchareb was ordered to pay disgorgement of $921,082 and prejudgment interest of $127,216. Corbin was ordered to pay disgorgement of $164,515.50 and prejudgment interest of $26,164.83. Bouchareb’s and Corbin’s disgorgement includes the entities’ trading profits. Bouchareb’s disgorgement also includes profits generated by his parents’ trading and trading profits generated by his girlfriend, relief defendant Maria Checa and her entity, relief defendant Checa International, Inc. Corbin’s disgorgement includes trading profits generated by his father, relief defendant Lee Corbin. Devlin was permanently enjoined from violating Sections 10(b) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5 and 14e-3 in a judgment entered on October 19, 2012. In a related administrative proceeding on May 6, 2013, the Commission barred Devlin from associating with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent, and barred Devlin from participating in any offering of a penny stock. Bouchareb, Corbin and Devlin also pleaded guilty in parallel criminal cases brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. Bouchareb was sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment followed by two years of supervised release and ordered to pay a $20,000 fine and forfeit $1,582,125. Corbin was sentenced to serve six months in prison followed by two years of supervised release and ordered to forfeit $1 million. Based on Devlin’s cooperation with the criminal authorities, the court sentenced Devlin to three years’ probation and ordered him to pay a $10,000 fine and forfeit his gains of $23,000. In prior settlements, the four other defendants in the case agreed to be enjoined from violating the antifraud provisions and pay over $1.3 million in disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties. The Commission’s relief included permanent industry bars and a forthwith suspension from appearing or practicing before the Commission pursuant to Rule 102(e)(2) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. Two of these defendants also had pleaded guilty in parallel criminal cases. The Commission acknowledges the assistance and cooperation of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Commission also thanks the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Options Regulatory Surveillance Authority. [SEC v. Matthew C. Devlin, et al., Civil Action No. 08-CV-11001 (SDNY) (LGS)] (LR-22700). In the Matter of Wesley W. WangOn May 15, 2013, 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 Wesley W. Wang (Wang). The Order finds that on July 13, 2012, Wang, a former consultant to Trellus Management Company, LLC, a New York-based hedge fund investment adviser, pled guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit securities fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371. United States v. Wesley Wang, 12 CR 541 (S.D.N.Y.). The criminal information in that case alleged, inter alia, that Wang, and others, participated in a scheme to defraud by sharing material, nonpublic information regarding certain public companies’ quarterly earnings and other material financial and business information for the purpose of executing securities trades based in whole or in part on such information. The information alleged that Wang obtained material nonpublic information regarding, inter alia, Cisco Systems, Inc., that had been disclosed in violation of duties of trust and confidence, and provided that information to other individuals at the hedge fund adviser where he worked with the expectation that it would be used to execute securities transactions. Based on the above, the Order barred Wang from associating with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Wang consented to the issuance of the Order. (Rel. IA-3608; File No. 3-15327).
