ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

Previously Unknown Insider Traders in Heinz Agree to $5 Million Settlement

The Commission today announced that two brothers in Brazil have agreed to pay nearly $5 million to settle charges that they were behind suspicious trading in call options for H.J. Heinz Company the day before the company publicly announced its acquisition.

The SEC filed an emergency enforcement action earlier this year to freeze assets in a Swiss-based trading account used to reap more than $1.8 million from trading in advance of the Heinz announcement. The SEC's immediate move the day after the announcement ensured the illicit profits could not be released out of the account while the investigation into the then-unknown traders continued.

In an amended complaint filed today in federal court in Manhattan, the SEC alleges that the order to purchase the Heinz options was placed by Rodrigo Terpins while he was vacationing at Walt Disney World in Orlando, and the trading was based on material non-public information that he received from his brother Michel Terpins. The trades were made through an account belonging to a Cayman Islands-based entity named Alpine Swift that holds assets for one of their family members. Rodrigo Terpins purchased nearly $90,000 in option positions in Heinz the day before the announcement, and those positions increased dramatically by nearly 2,000 percent the next day.

The Terpins brothers and Alpine Swift, which has been named as a relief defendant for the purposes of recovering ill-gotten gains, have agreed to disgorge the entire $1,809,857 in illegal profits made from trading Heinz options. The Terpins brothers also will pay $3 million in penalties. The settlement is subject to court approval.

"Rodrigo and Michel Terpins obtained confidential information prior to any public awareness that a Heinz deal was in the works, and they exploited it to the disadvantage of all other traders in the marketplace," said Sanjay Wadhwa, Senior Associate Director for Enforcement in the SEC's New York Regional Office. "Those who use foreign accounts to commit insider trading in the U.S. markets should know that their activities can still be tracked and they will be held accountable by the SEC for their actions."

According to the SEC's amended complaint, Alpine Swift's brokerage account was used to purchase 2,533 out-of-the-money June $65 calls. This was effectively a wager that Heinz's stock would increase in value by approximately $5 per share. The trade was then executed through an omnibus account at Goldman Sachs' Zurich office. An omnibus account has the aggregate positions and transactions of a firm and its underlying customers without disclosing the identities of the beneficial owners or customers.

The SEC alleges that prior to the February 14 announcement that Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital agreed to acquire Heinz in a deal valued at $28 billion, Michel Terpins learned that an investment consortium including 3G Capital was about to announce a major acquisition. He found out that Heinz was the target. Michel Terpins then provided the non-public information to Rodrigo Terpins, who placed the trades on February 13. Rodrigo Terpins communicated with a broker who cautioned him that his firm rated Heinz a "sell." But Rodrigo Terpins instructed the broker to place the trade anyway. The timing, size, and profitability of the trades as well as the lack of a prior history of Heinz trading in the Alpine Swift account made the transactions highly suspicious in the wake of the Heinz announcement, hence the SEC's emergency action at the time.

In addition to the monetary sanctions, the proposed final judgments to which Rodrigo and Michel Terpins consented without admitting or denying the allegations permanently enjoin them from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5.

The SEC's investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by Megan Bergstrom, David S. Brown, and Diana Tani in the Los Angeles office with assistance from Charles D. Riely in the New York office. They are members of the SEC Enforcement Division's Market Abuse Unit. The case has been supervised by Daniel M. Hawke, chief of the unit, and Sanjay Wadhwa. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. (Press Rel. 2013-219; LR-22841)

Two Penny Stock Promoters Indicted for Securities Fraud Following the SEC's Investigation of ConnectAJet.com, Inc.

On September 11, 2013, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas obtained a Grand Jury indictment against Jason Wynn and Martin Cantu for their role in a conspiracy to defraud prospective investors in a penny stock company that they controlled, ConnectAJet.com, Inc. ("ConnectAJet"). The indictment was unsealed on September 19. According to ConnectAJet's press releases, ConnectAJet was developing a first-of-its-kind online booking system for private jet charters. The indictment alleges that – to artificially boost demand for ConnectAJet stock – Wynn and Cantu issued several false public statements and advertisements that misled potential investors about (1) the progress and status of the company's real-time booking system, (2) ConnectAJet's relationships with other companies in the private jet industry, and (3) ConnectAJet's customer base. Based on that conduct, the indictment charges Wynn and Cantu with Conspiracy to Commit Securities Fraud in violation of Sections 10(b) and 32 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Aiding and Abetting Securities Fraud under those two provisions.

The allegations in the criminal indictment stem from the same misconduct underlying the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "Commission's") prior investigation of ConnectAJet and the Commission's prior civil enforcement actions against Wynn and Cantu. On March 13, 2008, the Commission sued Jason Wynn and others for their role in a series of illegal, unregistered stock offerings in several penny stock companies, including ConnectAJet. SEC v. Reynolds, et al., Case No. 3:08-cv-00438-B (N.D. Tex.). In its Complaint, the Commission alleged that Wynn repeatedly engaged in a "pump and dump" of ConnectAJet and other companies. The Complaint alleged that for each company, Wynn and his fellow penny stock promoters (a) organized a reverse merger of the company into a public shell, (b) purchased large blocks of the company's stock at pennies per share in a bogus unregistered private offering, (c) created initial trading volume for the stock by selling some shares to a tightly controlled group of friends and family members, (d) touted the stock through spam e-mail, sham internet sites, and millions of direct mail advertisements, and then (e) dumped their shares on the investing public without the protection of registration at prices grossly inflated by their promotional activity. On October 13, 2011, the Court entered partial judgment against Jason Wynn based on his consent and ordered that Wynn be permanently enjoined from further violations of the antifraud and registration provisions of federal securities law and be permanently barred from participating in any offerings of penny stock. On July 11, 2013, the Court further ordered that Wynn and his corporate proxies pay $8,778,887 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest and $1,300,000 in civil penalties.

On September 2009, the Commission separately sued Martin T. Cantu and others in SEC v. ConnectAJet.com, Inc. et al., Case No. 3:09-cv-01742-B (N.D. Tex.). The Commission alleged that Cantu participated in the scheme to "pump and dump" ConnectAJet stock and issued several false press releases and advertisements to further the scheme. On July 23, 2010, the Commission obtained a judgment against Cantu that (a) enjoined him from further violations of the antifraud and registration provisions of federal securities law, (b) permanently barred him from serving as an officer and director of a public company, (c) permanently barred him from participating in a penny stock offering, (d) required him to pay $632,327 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, and (e) required him to pay a civil penalty of $260,000. [United States v. Jason Wynn and Martin Cantu, Case No. 13-cr-00347-K (N.D. Tex.)] (Rel. LR-22839)

Commission Obtains Judgment by Consent Against Charles J. Dushek, Charles S. Dushek, and Capital Management Associates Inc.

On October 9, 2013, the Honorable Gary Feinerman of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered judgments against defendants Charles J. Dushek, Charles S. Dushek, and Capital Management Associates, Inc. The judgments, to which the defendants consented without admitting or denying the allegations in the Complaint, permanently enjoin the defendants from future violations of certain antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and order each defendant to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties in an amount to be determined by the court.

In its Complaint, the Commission alleges that the Dusheks used their Lisle, Illinois-based investment advisory firm, Capital Management Associates, Inc. (CMA), to defraud CMA clients by conducting a "cherry picking" scheme that garnered the Dusheks nearly $2 million in illicit profits. The Complaint alleges that the Dusheks placed millions of dollars in securities trades without designating in advance whether they were trading personal funds or client funds. They delayed allocating the trades so they could cherry pick winning trades for their personal accounts and dump losing trades on the accounts of unwitting clients at CMA. Meanwhile, CMA misrepresented the firm's proprietary trading activities to clients.

The judgments permanently enjoin each of the defendants from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1) and (2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The judgments also order each of the defendants to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest thereon, and civil penalties, but leave the determination of the amount of such monetary relief to the court upon the Commission's motion. [SEC v. Charles J. Dushek, et al., Civil Action No. 13-cv-3669 (N.D. Ill., filed May 16, 2013)] (Rel. LR-22840)

In the Matter of Mark Gasarch

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 Mark Gasarch (Gasarch).

The Order finds that Gasarch, age 72, is an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of New York. The Order further finds that on September 26, 2013, a final judgment was entered against Gasarch, permanently enjoining him from aiding or abetting future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Petro-Suisse Ltd., et al., Civil Action Number 12-CV-6221 (AJN), filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The court ordered Gasarch jointly and severally liable with Petro-Suisse Ltd. (Petro-Suisse) to pay $8,370,000 in disgorgement, deemed satisfied by the previous payments made by Petro-Suisse to Petro-Suisse limited partnership investors, and a $130,000 civil penalty.

The Commission's complaint alleged that, between 2003 and 2006, in connection with the purchase and sale of limited partnership interests offered by Petro-Suisse to finance the drilling of oil wells in Trinidad, Gasarch, as Petro-Suisse's legal counsel, drafted 21 private placements memorandums (PPMs) that contained materially false and misleading information. The complaint further alleges that Petro-Suisse solicited investments in the limited partnership interests using the PPMs that contained false and misleading statements.

Based on the above, the Order suspends Gasarch from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an attorney for five years, with a right to reapply for reinstatement after five years from the date of the Order. Gasarch consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings in the Order except he admitted the entry of the judgment against him. (Rel. 34-70656)

In the Matter of John Lazorchak, CPA

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 against John Lazorchak, CPA (Lazorchak). 

The Order finds that Lazorchak is a certified public accountant licensed to practice in the state of New Jersey who, from 2007 until his termination in November 2012, served as Director of Financial Reporting at Celgene Corp., a biopharmaceutical company with a principal place of business in Summit, New Jersey.

Lazorchak, et al.,Civil Action Number 12-7164 (KSH), in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.

The Order further finds that the Commission's complaint in SEC v. Lazorchak, et al. alleged, among other things, that, as part of an insider trading scheme, Lazorchak used his position at Celgene, and his access to the company's confidential information, to tip material, nonpublic information to downstream tippees, both directly and through an intermediary participant in the scheme. These tips included material, nonpublic information regarding Celgene's acquisitions of Pharmion Corp. and Abraxis Bioscience, Inc., Celgene's corporate earnings, and Celgene's withdrawal of a request to expand the use of the drug Revlemid. In addition, the complaint alleged that an insider at Stryker Corp., who was a friend of Lazorchak, tipped material, nonpublic information regarding Orthovita Inc.'s impending acquisition of Stryker Corp. to Lazorchak, and that Lazorchak again tipped that information both directly and through an intermediary to downstream tippees. The complaint further alleged that, as part of this scheme, Lazorchak received kickbacks in the form of cash payments in exchange for the information he tipped. Finally, the complaint alleged that in the spring of 2008, Lazorchak misled regulators during an inquiry into trading preceding the Celgene/ Pharmion transaction. 

Based on the above, the Order suspends Lazorchak from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant. Lazorchak consented to the issuance of the Order. ( Rel. 34-70658)

In The Matter of Mark S. Cupo, CPA

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 against Mark S. Cupo, CPA (Cupo).

Based on the above, the Order suspends Cupo from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant. Cupo consented to the issuance of the Order. (Rel. 34-70659)
