COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTSSecurities and Exchange Commission Suspends Trading in the Securities of Six Issuers for Failure to Make Required Periodic FilingsThe 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 Feb. 24, 2011 and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EST on March 9, 2011.
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 Branch of the Division of Enforcement at (202) 551-5466, or by e-mail at DelinquentFilings@sec.gov. (Rel. 34-63951) SEC Charges Former Treasurer of Major Mortgage Lender for Role in Securities Fraud and TARP SchemeThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged the former treasurer of the one-time largest non-depository mortgage lender in the country with aiding and abetting a $1.5 billion securities fraud scheme and an attempt to scam the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The SEC alleges that Desiree E. Brown, the former treasurer of Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp. (TBW), helped enable the sale of more than $1.5 billion in fictitious and impaired mortgage loans and securities from TBW to Colonial Bank, and caused them to be falsely reported to the investing public as high-quality, liquid assets. Brown also helped cause Colonial Bank to misrepresent that it had satisfied a prerequisite necessary to qualify for TARP funds. The SEC previously charged former TBW chairman and majority owner Lee B. Farkas in June 2010. Farkas also was arrested in June by criminal authorities. In a related action today, Brown pleaded guilty to criminal charges filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in the Eastern District of Virginia. “Brown willingly participated with Farkas in a $1.5 billion fraud on Colonial Bank and its investors,” said Lorin L. Reisner, Deputy Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “Brown also aided efforts by Farkas to mislead Colonial Bank and its regulators regarding the bank’s application for TARP funds.” According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Brown and Farkas perpetrated the fraudulent scheme from March 2002 to August 2009, when Colonial Bank was seized by regulators and Colonial BancGroup and TBW both filed for bankruptcy. TBW was the largest customer of Colonial Bank’s Mortgage Warehouse Lending Division (MWLD). Because TBW generally did not have sufficient capital to internally fund the mortgage loans it originated, it relied on financing arrangements primarily through Colonial Bank’s MWLD to fund such mortgage loans. The SEC alleges that when TBW began to experience liquidity problems and overdrew its then-limited warehouse line of credit with Colonial Bank by approximately $15 million each day, Brown and Farkas and an officer of Colonial Bank concealed the overdraws through a pattern of “kiting” in which certain debits were not entered until after credits due for the following day were entered. In order to conceal this initial fraudulent conduct, Brown, Farkas and the Colonial Bank officer created and submitted fictitious loan information to Colonial Bank and created fictitious mortgage-backed securities assembled from the fraudulent loans. By the end of 2007, the scheme consisted of approximately $500 million in fake residential mortgage loans and approximately $1 billion in severely impaired residential mortgage loans and securities. These fictitious and impaired loans were misrepresented as high-quality assets on Colonial BancGroup’s financial statements. The SEC alleges that in addition to causing Colonial BancGroup to misrepresent its assets, Brown assisted Farkas in causing BancGroup to misstate publicly that it had obtained commitments for a $300 million capital infusion that would qualify Colonial Bank for TARP funding. In fact, Farkas and Brown never secured financing or sufficient investors to fund the capital infusion. When BancGroup issued a press release announcing it had obtained preliminary approval to receive $550 million in TARP funds, its stock price jumped 54 percent – its largest one-day price increase since 1983. When BancGroup and TBW later mutually announced the termination of their stock purchase agreement and signaled the end of Colonial Bank’s pursuit of TARP funds, BancGroup’s stock declined 20 percent. The SEC’s complaint charges Brown with violations of the antifraud, reporting, books and records and internal controls provisions of the federal securities laws. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, Brown consented to the entry of a judgment permanently enjoining her from violation of Rule 13b2-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and from aiding and abetting violations of Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11 and 13a-13 thereunder. The proposed preliminary settlement, under which the SEC’s requests for financial penalties against Brown would remain pending, is subject to court approval. The SEC’s case was investigated by M. Graham Loomis, Aaron W. Lipson, Yolanda L. Ross and Barry R. Lakas of the Atlanta Regional Office. The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the Fraud Section of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Office of the Special Inspector General for the TARP, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Office of the Inspector General, the Office of the Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, Civil Division. The SEC brought its enforcement action in coordination with these other members of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. The SEC’s investigation is continuing.

Reisner Rhea Kemble Dignam, Regional Director (Press Rel. 2011-49) SEC Halts Fraudulent Investment Scheme By Purported Trader in Dallas-Fort Worth AreaThe Securities and Exchange Commission has obtained an emergency court order halting an alleged offering fraud conducted by a purported trader in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The order was unsealed by the court today. The SEC alleges that Christopher Love Blackwell sold investments in a phony fixed income trading program by enticing investors with promises of risk-free, guaranteed monthly investment returns as high as 30 percent. Blackwell assured investors he was an experienced trader and advisor in a variety of securities and services including hedge funds and international bank instruments. However, instead of investing client funds as promised, Blackwell spent nearly $3 million in investor money on questionable unrelated business activities as well as such personal expenses as child support, gentlemen’s club entertainment, and purchases of expensive vehicles. He also made approximately $500,000 in Ponzi-like payments using money from new investors to pay earlier investors. Neither Blackwell nor his two firms also charged in the SEC’s enforcement action have ever registered with the SEC or any state regulator to sell securities. “Blackwell concocted a resume boasting degrees he never earned, work experience he never had, and personal connections he didn’t make,” said Rose Romero, Director of the SEC’s Fort Worth Regional Office. “Blackwell enticed investors by promising exorbitant returns and assuring that their principal amount would be held safely in an escrow account. In reality, Blackwell was misappropriating their money in a myriad of ways.” The Honorable Sam A. Lindsay, U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of Texas, granted the SEC's request for emergency relief on February 11, including an order temporarily restraining Blackwell from committing further violations of the antifraud provisions and an order freezing Blackwell’s assets. According to the SEC’s complaint filed Feb. 7, 2011, in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the SEC worked closely with law enforcement agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on the case. Blackwell came under DHS attention due to large wire transfers and cash transactions. While pitching his trading program to an undercover DHS agent whom Blackwell thought was a wealthy potential investor, he made numerous false and misleading representations including risk-free returns of “25 to 30 percent per month with regularity.” Blackwell falsely claimed that these profits were possible because of his purported academic pedigree that including Master’s and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Madrid. Blackwell has no such degrees. According to the SEC’s complaint, during a Feb. 11, 2010, face-to-face conversation with an undercover agent, Blackwell touted the know-how and connections he acquired while employed by Goldman Sachs and The Bank of Madrid. In reality, Blackwell never worked at either firm. The SEC alleges that Blackwell misused investor money to pay more than $720,000 in personal and business expenses, including child support, travel, entertainment (including gentlemen’s clubs), utilities, food, office equipment and supplies, office rent, and purchases of an Audi, Hummer and other vehicles. Blackwell also funneled more than $900,000 in cash directly to himself, family members, friends and other associates. He further diverted investor funds to support other questionable business activities, including roughly $249,000 purportedly used to fund a personal entertainment investment and roughly $1.1 million to purchase interests in sham letters of credit. Separately, Blackwell used more than $500,000 to make Ponzi-like payments. The SEC's complaint charges, among other things, that Blackwell and his entities violated the anti-fraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. In addition to the emergency and interim relief that has been obtained, the SEC seeks a final judgment permanently enjoining Blackwell and his entities from future violations of the relevant provisions of the federal securities laws and ordering them to pay financial penalties and disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest. The SEC thanks the Department of Homeland Security for its assistance in this matter. For more information about this enforcement action, contact: Stephen J.

Enforcement ProceedingsCommission Orders Hearings on Registration Suspension or Revocation Against Seven Companies for Failure to Make Required Periodic FilingsIn conjunction with today’s trading suspension, the Commission 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 seven companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:
In this Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that the seven issuers are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission. In this proceeding, 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 proceeding 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 this proceeding issue an initial decision not later than 120 days from the date of service of the order instituting proceedings. (Rel. 34-63952; File No. 3-14271) In the Matter of Sam P. DouglassOn Feb. 24, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-And-Desist Order Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Sections 203(f) And 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and Section 9(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as to Sam P. Douglass (Order). The Order finds that Douglass formerly served as chairman of Equus Total Return, Inc., a business development company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and controlled an investment adviser that provided investment advice to Equus. According to the Order, Douglass was responsible for misleading information in an Equus press release, Commission reports, proxy materials, and board meetings regarding a payment of approximately $400,000 to a senior Equus officer in connection with a change in Equus’s investment advisers in June 2005. Based on the above, the Order censured Douglass, ordered him to pay a $25,000 civil penalty, and ordered him to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B), and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, 13b2-1, 13b2-2, and 14a-9 thereunder and Section 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Respondent Douglass consented to the entry of the Order without admitting or denying its findings, except as to the Commission’s jurisdiction over him and the subject matter of the proceedings, which he admitted.
