SEC Charges Three Executives With Conducting $230 Million Investment Scheme at Ohio-Based Company

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged three senior executives at Akron, Ohio-based Fair Finance Company with orchestrating a $230 million fraudulent scheme involving at least 5,200 investors – many of them elderly.

The SEC alleges that after purchasing Fair Finance Company, chief executive officer Timothy S. Durham, chairman James F. Cochran, and chief financial officer Rick D. Snow deceived investors while selling them interest-bearing certificates. Fair Finance had previously operated for decades as a privately-held consumer finance company. But under the guise of loans, Durham and Cochran schemed to divert investor proceeds to themselves and others as well as struggling and unprofitable entities that they controlled. Durham and Cochran further misused investor funds to buy classic cars and other luxury items to enhance their own lavish lifestyles.

In a parallel criminal proceeding, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana today unsealed criminal charges against Durham, Cochran and Snow for the same alleged misconduct.

“These executives looted Fair Finance and exploited unsuspecting investors who trusted the company to prudently invest their funds as it had done for decades,” said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “To add insult to injury, they squandered the stolen funds on such extravagances as multiple homes, a private jet, a yacht and more than 40 classic and exotic cars.”

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Fair Finance historically raised funds by selling interest-bearing certificates to investors and using the proceeds to purchase and service discounted consumer finance contracts. Following the 2002 purchase, Durham and Cochran funneled millions of dollars to themselves and their related companies. By November 2009, Durham, Cochran and their related businesses owed Fair Finance more than $200 million, which accounted for approximately 90 percent of Fair Finance’s total loan portfolio.

The SEC alleges that Durham and Cochran knew that neither they nor their related companies had the earnings, collateral or other resources to ensure repayment on the purported loans. As CFO, Snow knew or was reckless in not knowing that neither Durham and Cochran nor their entities could repay the funds they took from Fair Finance. Nonetheless, they continued to raise hundreds of millions of dollars from investors by using false and misleading financial statements and other information contained in the offering circulars to deceive investors about Fair Finance’s true financial condition. Ultimately, Durham, Cochran and their related companies never repaid these loans, and they used new investor proceeds to repay earlier investors in the nature of a Ponzi scheme.

Durham and Cochran also distributed large amounts of money to family members and friends, and misused investor funds to afford mortgages for multiple homes, a $3 million private jet, a $6 million yacht, and classic and exotic cars worth more than $7 million. They also diverted investor money to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling and travel expenses, credit card bills, and country club dues, and to pay for elaborate parties and other forms of entertainment.

According to the SEC’s complaint, Durham has residences in Los Angeles and Fortville, Ind.; Cochran resides in McCordsville, Ind.; and Snow lives in Fishers, Ind. Durham currently is the CEO at National Lampoon, and Snow currently is the CFO.

The SEC’s complaint charges Durham, Cochran and Snow with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaint seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest, penalties and officer and director bars against each of the defendants.

The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Philadelphia Regional Office enforcement staff Kelly L. Gibson, Brendan P. McGlynn, John J. Heffernan, Daniel L. Koster and Paul Rihn. The SEC’s litigation will be led by Scott A. Thompson and G. Jeffrey Boujoukos.

The SEC acknowledges and appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana, the U.S. Department of Justice, Fraud Section, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Ohio Division of Securities.

SEC Charges Former Supervisor at Colonial Bank for Role in Securities Fraud Scheme

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged the former operations supervisor of Colonial Bank’s mortgage warehouse lending division (MWLD) with participating in a $1.5 billion securities fraud scheme.

The SEC alleges that Teresa A. Kelly enabled the sale of fictitious and impaired mortgage loans and securities from the MWLD’s largest customer – Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp. (TBW) – to Colonial Bank. She caused these securities to be falsely reported to the investing public as high-quality, liquid assets.

The SEC previously charged former TBW chairman and majority owner Lee B. Farkas in June 2010, charged TBW’s former treasurer Desiree E. Brown in February 2011, and charged the head of Colonial Bank’s MWLD Catherine L. Kissick earlier this month.

“For nearly seven years, Kelly abused her access to Colonial Bank’s accounting systems, allowing Farkas and TBW to defraud the bank and its investors out of more than $1.5 billion,” said William P. Hicks, Associate Regional Director of the SEC’s Atlanta Regional Office.

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Kelly along with Farkas, Kissick and Brown perpetrated the fraudulent scheme from March 2002 to August 2009, when Colonial Bank was seized by regulators and Colonial BancGroup and TBW each filed for bankruptcy. 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 mortgage warehouse lending division to fund such mortgage loans.

The SEC alleges that TBW began to experience liquidity problems and overdrew its then-limited warehouse line of credit with Colonial Bank by approximately $15 million each day. Kelly, Farkas, Kissick and Brown 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, Kelly, Farkas, Kissick and Brown 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’s complaint charges Kelly with violations of the antifraud, reporting, books and records and internal controls provisions of the federal securities laws, including Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5 and 13b2-1 thereunder, and from aiding and abetting violations of Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11 and 13a-13 thereunder.

The SEC’s case was investigated by 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, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Office of the Special Inspector General for the TARP, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of the Inspector General, and Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. 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.

Enforcement Proceedings

In the Matter of Matthew J. Ryan

On March 15, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Notice of Hearing against Matthew J. Ryan.

In the Order, the Division of Enforcement alleges that Ryan is the owner and sole managing member of Prime Rate and Return, LLC (Prime Rate), a limited liability company incorporated in Delaware in April 2001 with its principal place of business in Troy, New York. Prime Rate sometimes does business as, among other names, American Integrity Financial Company (American Integrity).

The Division of Enforcement further alleges that on February 22, 2011, Ryan pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud in violation of Sections 10(b) and 32 of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 2, before the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York, in United States v. Matthew John Ryan, Crim. Indictment No. 1:10-cr-00319-NAM. The count of the criminal indictment to which Ryan pleaded guilty alleged, among other things, that from in or about February 2002, Ryan has been soliciting and receiving money from investors as a purported representative of American Integrity. To give the appearance of legitimacy to American Integrity, Ryan falsely represented to investors that American Integrity was a substantial Manhattan-based financial services firm with numerous employees and for which he was merely a representative. Ryan also made false representations to investors that their investments were safe, by representing that they were insured up to specific dollar amounts by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). Since at least 2004, Ryan used funds that investors invested in American Integrity for multiple purposes he concealed from investors, including (i) to repay loans for the purchase or refinancing of real estate held in Prime Rate’s name; (ii) to pay other investors’ returns, in Ponzi-scheme fashion; and (iii) to pay his own personal expenses, including payments on his loans for luxury cars.

A hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge to determine whether such allegations are true, to afford the Respondent an opportunity to establish defenses to the allegations, and to determine whether remedial action is necessary and appropriate. The Administrative Law Judge is directed to issue a decision no later than 210 days from the date of service of the Order Instituting Proceedings, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. Rel. 34-64082; File No. 3-14297)

In the Matter of AbsoluteFuture.com

An Administrative Law Judge has issued an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registration by Default (Default Order) in AbsoluteFuture.com, Admin. Proc. No. 3-14180. The Order Instituting Proceedings alleged that Respondent repeatedly failed to file required annual and quarterly reports while its securities were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Default Order finds the allegations to be true and revokes the registration of each class of registered securities, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. (Rel. 34-64083; File No. 3-14180)

SEC v. Jason Bo-Alan Beckman and The Oxford Private Client Group, LLC, et al.

On March 11, 2011, the SEC obtained a preliminary injunction order, by consent, against Jason Bo-Alan Beckman and The Oxford Private Client Group, LLC prohibiting them from violating the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. The order also continues an asset freeze and the appointment of a receiver over the assets of Beckman and Oxford Private Client Group, which were previously ordered by the Court. The Court also entered a separate Order continuing the asset freeze and appointment of a receiver as to relief defendant Hollie Beckman.

The entry of these orders follows the filing of an emergency action and civil complaint on March 7, 2011, in which the SEC alleged that Beckman and Oxford Private Client Group raised at least $47.3 million from at least 143 investors from August 2006 to July 2009 through a fraudulent, unregistered offering of investments in a purported foreign currency trading venture (Currency Program). According to the SEC’s complaint, Beckman told investors that each investor’s money would be invested in the Currency Program, their money would be held in a segregated account, there was little or no risk to their money, they would receive guaranteed returns ranging from 10.5% to 12% per year, and they could withdraw their money at any time. The SEC alleges that these representations were false. According to the SEC’s complaint, a significant portion of the investors’ funds were never invested in the Currency Program but instead were used to make purported interest and return of principal payments to other investors and also diverted to Beckman and others’ personal accounts. Beckman and his wife Hollie Beckman received approximately $7.7 million of investor funds. None of the funds was ever placed in segregated accounts at banks or foreign currency trading firms and the funds sent to the trading firms sustained significant losses.

The Court’s order of preliminary injunction prohibits Beckman and Oxford Private Client Group from violating Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) 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 Court’s orders also continue the freeze and appointment of a receiver over the assets of Beckman, Oxford Private Client Group, and relief defendant Hollie Beckman. [SEC v. Jason Bo-Alan Beckman and The Oxford Private Client Group, LLC, et al., Case No. 11 CV 574 MJD/FLN (D. Minn.)] (LR-21887)
