Commission announcementsCommission Awards More Than $14 Million to WhistleblowerThe Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) today announced an award of more than $14 million to a whistleblower whose information led to an SEC enforcement action that recovered substantial investor funds. Payments to whistleblowers are made from a separate fund previously established by the Dodd-Frank Act and do not come from the agency's annual appropriations or reduce amounts paid to harmed investors. The award is the largest made by the SEC's whistleblower program to date. The SEC's Office of the Whistleblower was established in 2011 as authorized by the Dodd-Frank Act. The whistleblower program rewards high-quality original information that results in an SEC enforcement action with sanctions exceeding $1 million, and awards can range from 10 percent to 30 percent of the money collected in a case. "Our whistleblower program already has had a big impact on our investigations by providing us with high quality, meaningful tips," said SEC Chair Mary Jo White. "We hope an award like this encourages more individuals with information to come forward." The whistleblower, who does not wish to be identified, provided original information and assistance that allowed the SEC to investigate an enforcement matter more quickly than otherwise would have been possible. Less than six months after receiving the whistleblower's tip, the SEC was able to bring an enforcement action against the perpetrators and secure investor funds. "While it is certainly gratifying to make this significant award payout, the even better news for investors is that whistleblowers are coming forward to assist us in stopping potential fraud in its tracks so that no future investors are harmed," said Sean McKessy, chief of the SEC's Office of the Whistleblower. "That ultimately is what the whistleblower program is all about." The SEC's first payment to a whistleblower was made in August 2012 and totaled approximately $50,000. In August and September 2013, more than $25,000 was awarded to three whistleblowers who helped the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice halt a sham hedge fund, and the ultimate total payout in that case once all sanctions are collected is likely to exceed $125,000. By law, the SEC must protect the confidentiality of whistleblowers and cannot disclose any information that might directly or indirectly reveal a whistleblower's identity. For more information about the whistleblower program and how to report a tip, visit www.sec.gov/whistleblower.

ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGSCommission Halts Texas-Based Scheme Targeting Foreign Investors Seeking U.S. Residency through Eb-5 Visa ProgramSEC, USCIS Issue Joint Alert to Caution Investors About Fraudulent EB-5 Investment Schemes The Commission today announced fraud charges against a husband and wife in Texas for stealing funds from foreign investors under the guise of an investment opportunity to create U.S. jobs and a path to U.S. residency. The SEC alleges that Marco and Bebe Ramirez and three companies they own have fraudulently raised at least $5 million from investors by falsely promising that their money would be invested as part of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Pilot Program. Through the program, foreign investors can earn conditional visas and eventually green cards by making investments in U.S. economic development projects that will create or preserve a minimum number of jobs for U.S. workers. Instead of investing the money as promised, the Ramirezes routinely diverted investor funds to other undisclosed businesses and for their personal use. In at least one instance, they used new investor funds to make Ponzi-like payments to an existing investor. According to the SEC's complaint unsealed today in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, the Ramirezes initially targeted investors in Mexico, but more recently have solicited investors in Egypt and Nigeria. The court has granted the SEC's request to freeze the assets and accounts of the Ramirezes and their three companies: USA Now LLC, USA Now Energy Capital Group LP, and Now Co. Loan Services. This effectively halts their ability to raise further money from investors or spend any remaining funds in the scheme. "Through their investment scheme, the Ramirezes abused a program intended to attract foreign capital to create U.S. jobs," said David R. Woodcock, Director of the SEC's Fort Worth Regional Office. "The Ramirezes misappropriated investor funds for their own purposes without any regard for the harm they caused investors who were seeking an avenue to U.S. residency." The SEC and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today issued a joint investor alert that provides additional information about the EB-5 program and cautions investors about fraudulent EB-5 schemes. USCIS offered substantial assistance in the SEC's investigation of the Ramirezes. The EB-5 program is administered by USCIS and enables foreign investors to make their investments either directly in a business or through EB-5 "regional centers" that are private entities organized to promote economic development in specific geographic areas and industries. According to the SEC' s complaint, beginning in 2010, the Ramirezes sought approval from USCIS to register USA Now as an EB-5 regional center that would accept and direct investments from foreign investors into investment opportunities that would purportedly satisfy the EB-5 visa requirements. But even before USCIS decided, the Ramirezes and other USA Now employees already had started soliciting investors with false promises about how their money would be invested. The SEC alleges that the Ramirezes told investors that USA Now would hold their investments in escrow until they received USCIS approval. And once the funds were released from escrow, they would be used for specific business purposes. However, the Ramriezes failed to hold the funds in escrow as required, and instead routinely diverted the funds for other uses not described in offering materials, often on the same day the funds were received. Among their misappropriations, the Ramirezes appear to have opened a Cajun-themed restaurant with investor funds and settled an unrelated lawsuit. Meanwhile, none of the at least 10 investors identified by the SEC as victims of the scheme have received visas from USCIS, and none of their funds seem to remain in escrow. "Even though investors provided the Ramirezes with at least $5 million, none of them have ever received conditional visas let alone green cards," said David Peavler, Associate Director of the SEC's Fort Worth Regional Office. "Instead, the Ramirezes opened a restaurant and purchased other assets for themselves and their employees." The SEC's complaint alleges that the Ramirezes and their companies violated and aided and abetted violations of the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint seeks various relief including preliminary and permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, and financial penalties. The SEC's investigation has been conducted by Timothy Evans, Kimberly Cain, Ty Martinez, and Jonathan Scott of the Fort Worth Regional Office. The SEC's litigation will be led by Mr. Evans and David Reece. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas. (Press Rel. 2013-210) In the Matter of Brewer Investment Advisor, LLCThe Commission announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(e) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act), Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Brewer Investment Advisor, LLC (BIA). The Order finds that from June 2009 through October 2010, BIA was engaged in the business of advising others as to the advisability of investing in and purchasing securities, including promissory notes. During that time, BIA was registered with the Commission as a registered investment adviser. On June 11, 2013, a judgment was entered by consent against BIA, permanently enjoining it from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Steven Brewer, et al., Civil Action Number 10-cv-6932-BMM-AK, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The Commission's complaint alleged that, from June 2009 through at least the end of September 2010, BIA and Steven Brewer (Brewer), Adam Erickson, Brewer Investment Group, LLC (BIG), and Brewer Financial Services, LLC, a registered broker-dealer, participated in fraudulent, unregistered offerings of promissory notes issued by FPA Limited (FPA), an Isle of Man company, in the aggregate amount of $5.6 million to at least 74 investors. The offering materials misrepresented the risk of the investment and failed to disclose the precarious financial condition of BIG and its subsidiaries. The Commission's complaint alleged that representations in the offering materials concerning the use of proceeds and representations concerning the risk of the investment were materially false and misleading. The complaint alleged that BIA advised its clients to invest in and purchase the fraudulent offering of the FPA Notes. BIA knew that the representations in the offering documents concerning the use of proceeds and risk were materially false and misleading. It also knew that material information about the precarious financial condition of BIG and BIG's failure to make required interest payments on the notes was not being disclosed to prospective investors. Nonetheless, BIA continued to advise investors to invest in and purchase the notes and caused others to advise investors to invest in and purchase the notes Based on the above, the Order revokes the registration of BIA. In addition, BIA is barred 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. BIA consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the allegations in the civil injunctive action. (Rel. 34-70592) In the Matter of Philip Mark CainThe Commission announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Notice of Hearing ("Order") against Philip Mark Cain ("Cain"), a resident of Tucson, Arizona. In the Order, the Division of Enforcement alleges that on December 14, 2011, Cain pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. Section 1957, engaging in an illegal monetary transaction greater than $10,000 in violation of 18 U.S.C. Section 1957, and structuring transactions to evade currency reporting requirements in violation of 31 U.S.C. Sections 5324(a)(3) and (d)(2) before the United States District Court for the District of Arizona in the criminal action entitled United States v. Philip Mark Cain, Case No. 4:11-CR-1105-JGZ. The counts of the indictment to which Cain pleaded guilty alleged, among other things, that between June 2008 and February 2011, Cain defrauded seven investors out of approximately $1.4 million by purporting to purchase structured notes on their behalf. A hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the Order are true, to provide Cain an opportunity to respond to these allegations, and to determine what sanctions, if any, are appropriate and in the public interest. The Order directs the administrative law judge to issue an initial decision within 210 days from the date of service of the Order. (Rel. 34-70592).
