ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGSCommission Charges Dallas-Based Trader with Front-RunningThe Securities and Exchange Commission today announced fraud charges and an asset freeze against a trader at a Dallas-based investment advisory firm who improperly profited by placing his own trades before executing large block trades for firm clients that had strong potential to increase the stock’s price. The SEC alleges that Daniel Bergin, a senior equity trader at Cushing MLP Asset Management, secretly executed hundreds of trades through his wife’s accounts in a practice known as front running. Bergin illicitly profited by at least $520,000 by routinely purchasing securities in his wife’s accounts earlier the same day he placed much larger orders for the same securities on behalf of firm clients. Bergin concealed his lucrative trading by failing to disclose his wife’s accounts to the firm and avoiding pre-clearance of his trades in those accounts. Bergin also attempted to hide his wife’s accounts from SEC examiners. “Bergin betrayed the trust of his clients by secretly using information about their trades to gain an unfair trading advantage and reap massive profits for himself,” said Marshall S. Sprung, Deputy Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s Asset Management Unit. According to the SEC’s complaint filed yesterday in federal court in Dallas, many investment advisers to institutions employ traders to manage their exposure to market price risks and place these large client orders in advantageous market centers with sufficient trading quantities that minimize unfavorable price movements against client interests. Bergin is the trader primarily responsible for managing price exposures related to client orders for equity trades. “Bergin’s misconduct is particularly egregious because his firm depended on him to manage market exposure and risk for its investments. Instead, he pitted his clients’ financial interests against his own,” said David R. Woodcock, Director of the SEC’s Fort Worth Regional Office. According to the SEC’s complaint, Bergin realized at least $1.7 million in profits in his wife’s accounts from 2011 to 2012 as a result of his illegal same-day or front-running trades. More than $520,000 of the $1.7 million represents profits from approximately 132 occasions in which Bergin placed his initial trades in his wife’s account ahead of clients’ trades. According to the SEC’s complaint, more than $1.8 million was withdrawn since July 2012 from a trading account belonging to Bergin’s wife that was undisclosed to his firm. Most of the withdrawals were large transfers to her bank account. The SEC’s complaint names Bergin’s wife Jacqueline Zaun as a relief defendant for the purpose of recovering Bergin’s illegal trading profits in her accounts. In order to halt Bergin’s ongoing scheme, the SEC requested and U.S. District Court Judge Barbara Lynn granted an emergency court order freezing the assets of Bergin and Zaun. The SEC’s complaint alleges that Bergin violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 as well as Section 17(j) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Rule 17j-1. The complaint seeks disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and a penalty as well as a permanent injunction against Bergin. The SEC’s investigation was conducted in the Fort Worth Regional Office by Frank Goodrich and Barbara Gunn of the Asset Management Unit. The litigation will be led by Jennifer Brandt and Mr. Goodrich. The examination that led to the investigation was conducted by Mary Walters, Anthony McNeal, Charles Amsler, Brandon Whitaker, Carol Hahn, Dennis Rogers, and Kim Shaw of the Fort Worth office. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. (Press Rel. 2013-93)[SEC v. Daniel Bergin, et al., Civil Action No. 3:13 CV 1940 (N.D. Tex., filed May 23, 2013)] (LR-22707) In the Matter of Larry Michael ParrishThe Commission announced the issuance of an Order Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Order) against Larry Michael Parrish. The Order finds that on September 25, 2012, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado entered default judgment against Parrish and entered an order permanently enjoining Parrish from violations of Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1), (2), and (4) of Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Larry Michael Parrish, Civil Action Number 11-cv-00558-WJM-MJW. The Order also finds that the Commission’s complaint alleged that during the period beginning in 2005 and continuing into 2010, Parrish operated a Ponzi scheme that raised about $9.2 million from at least 70 investors in 3 states. Parrish guaranteed 30% annual returns and told investors that the securities were “extremely low risk” because investor funds would be placed safely in escrow and used to secure a line of credit that would be used for the trading program. Parrish’s claims were false: Parrish’s early investors were paid the returns he guaranteed, and about $5 million in total “profit” payments were made to investors. But all or nearly all of these payments were from investor deposits, not profitable trading. Parrish also misappropriated at least $780,000 from investors for his personal benefit. No investor funds remain. Based on the above, the Order bars Parrish from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent, and from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock. Parrish consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings except as to the Commission’s jurisdiction over him, the subject matter of the proceedings and the findings contained in Section III.2 of the Order. (Rel. 34-69637; File No. 3-15068) In the Matter of Deer Hill Financial Group, LLCThe 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 Deer Hill Financial Group, LLC. The Order finds that Deer Hill operated as an unregistered investment adviser and broker-dealer in Danbury Connecticut and that on May 16, 2013, a final judgment was entered, by consent, in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Deer Hill Financial Group, LLC et al., Civil Action Number 12-01317, in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. The Court’s judgment permanently enjoins Deer Hill from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Commission’s complaint alleged that from at least 2002 through at least November 2011, Stephen B. Blankenship engaged in a scheme to misappropriate at least $600,000 from at least 12 brokerage customers by falsely representing that he would invest their funds in securities through Defendant Deer Hill, a Connecticut-based limited liability company, formed by Blankenship. According to the complaint most of the investors lied to by Blankenship were brokerage customers of his, first at Syndicated Capital, Inc., a registered broker-dealer based in Santa Monica, California and then at Vanderbilt Securities, LLC, a registered broker-dealer based in Melville, New York.
