Commission Announcements

SEC Proposes Business Conduct Standards for Security-Based Swap Dealers and Major Security-Based Swap Participants

 The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted to propose rules that would impose certain business conduct standards upon security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap participants when those parties engage in security-based swap transactions.  

The SEC’s proposed rules stem from Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which authorizes the Commission to implement a comprehensive framework for regulating the over-the-counter swaps markets. 

“The rules we are proposing would level the playing field in the security-based swap market by bringing needed transparency to this market and by seeking to ensure that customers in these transactions are treated fairly,” said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro.  “The standards we propose are intended to establish a framework that protects investors and also promotes efficiency, competition, and capital formation.”

 The proposed rules would require security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap participants to communicate in a fair and balanced manner and make certain disclosures, including conflicts of interest and material incentives to potential counterparties.  Additional requirements would be imposed for dealings with special entities, which include municipalities, pension plans, endowments and similar entities.

 Public comments on the SEC’s proposal should be received by Aug. 29, 2011. (Press Rel. 2011-137)

Enforcement Proceedings

Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of SBD International, Inc. (n/k/a Solargy Systems, Inc.) for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

On June 29, 2011, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of SBD International, Inc. (n/k/a Solargy Systems, Inc.) (Solargy Systems) for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission.

Without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except as to jurisdiction, which it admitted, Solargy Systems consented to the entry of an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registration of Securities Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to SBD International, Inc. (n/k/a Solargy Systems, Inc.) finding that it had failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder and revoking the registration of each class of Solargy Systems’ securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. This Order settled the proceedings brought against Solargy Systems in In the Matter of Sabratek Corp., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14318.

Brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that Exchange Act Section 12(j) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

No member of a national securities exchange, broker, or dealer shall make use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce to effect any transaction in, or to induce the purchase or sale of, any security the registration of which has been and is suspended or revoked . . . .

For further information see Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings and Notice of Hearing Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, In the Matter of Sabratek Corp., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14318, Exchange Act Release No. 64177, April 5, 2011. (Rel. 34-64765; File No. 3-14318)

In the Matter of Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.

On June 29, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Section 203(e) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order (Order) against Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. The Order finds that the Respondents offered and sold to some of their customers, financial instruments known as auction rate securities (ARS) while not accurately characterizing or while failing to adequately disclose the true nature and risks associated with these investments. ARS are bonds or preferred stock whose liquidity depends upon sufficient demand at periodic securities auctions. The Order specifically finds that some of Respondents’ registered representatives and financial advisers improperly described ARS as safe, liquid alternatives to money market funds and other cash-like investments, without adequately disclosing the auction process or the risk of illiquidity if these auctions failed. On February 13, 2008, a significant number of ARS auctions failed, resulting in an overall market collapse that left thousands of investors, including Respondents’ customers, holding ARS that they have not been able to liquidate. The Order finds that Respondents willfully violated Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act).

Based on the above, the Order censures Respondents, orders them to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and reserves the right to seek a financial penalty against them.

Without admitting or denying any of the findings, Respondents consented to the issuance of the Order and agreed to undertake to purchase eligible ARS held by their eligible current and former customers, and other measures, as specified under the terms of the Order.

Court Enters Final Judgment Against Georgia Resident William K. Boston, Jr., Texas Resident Warren T. Chambers and Their Business, Century Estate Planning, Inc.

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on June 22, 2011, Judge Elaine Bucklo of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered a final judgment against William K. Boston, Jr., of Canton, Georgia, Warren T. Chambers, of Leander, Texas, and Century Estate Planning, Inc. (Century Estate), their business. The final judgment: (1) enjoined Boston, Chambers and Century Estate from violating Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5 and 10b-10 promulgated thereunder, and enjoined Boston and Chambers from aiding and abetting violations of Rule 10b-10 of the Exchange Act; (2) ordered Boston, Chambers and Century Estate to pay disgorgement in the amount of $1,347,601.44 plus prejudgment interest of $617,269.01, for a total of $1,964,870.45; and (3) ordered Boston and Chambers to each pay a civil penalty of $120,000,and Century Estate to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $600,000.

The SEC’s complaint in this matter charges that Michael E. Kelly and 25 other defendants, including Boston, Chambers and Century Estate, participated in a massive fraud on U.S. investors that involved the offer and sale of securities in the form of Universal Leases. Universal Lease investments were structured as timeshares in several hotels in Cancun, Mexico, coupled with a pre-arranged rental agreement that promised investors a high, fixed rate of return. The SEC’s complaint alleges that from 1999 until 2005, Kelly and others, including Boston, Chambers and Century Estate, raised at least $428 million through the Universal Lease scheme from investors throughout the United States, with more than $136 million of the funds invested coming from IRA accounts. The SEC further alleges that a nationwide network of unregistered salespeople who sold the Universal Leases, including Boston, Chambers and Century Estate, collected undisclosed commissions totaling more than $72 million. The SEC also alleges that Kelly and others ran the scheme from Cancun, Mexico, through a number of foreign entities in Mexico and Panama. According to the SEC's complaint, Kelly and others told investors that Universal Leases would generate guaranteed income through the leasing of investor timeshares by a large, independent leasing agent. In fact, the complaint alleges, the leasing agent was a small Panamanian travel agency controlled by Kelly, and for most of the scheme, its payments to investors came from accounts funded by money raised from new investors. Further, the complaint alleges that Kelly and the other defendants, including Boston, Chambers and Century Estate, failed to disclose key facts about the Universal Lease investment, including the risks of the investment and that Kelly was paying commissions as high as 27% to the selling brokers. The SEC’s action against the remaining defendants is pending. [SEC v. Michael E. Kelly, et al., Case No. 1:07-CV-4979 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois] (LR-22016)

SEC Obtains Settlement with Recidivist Edward Meyer, Jr. for His Role in a Fraudulent Share Issuance Scheme and Insider Trading

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on June 27, 2011, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a Final Judgment that enjoins Edward Meyer, Jr. from violating the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws, orders him to disgorge $62,050 in ill-gotten gains, and requires him to pay civil penalties of $62,000. In addition, the Court barred Meyer from participating in any penny stock offering and from serving as an officer or director of any reporting company. Meyer consented to the entry of the Final Judgment without admitting or denying any of the allegations of the Commission’s Complaint.

In its Complaint, the SEC charged that Meyer violated the registration provisions of the federal securities laws when he sold shares of RECOV Energy Corporation between April and November 2005. According to the Complaint, RECOV issued these shares to Meyer after he and defendant Victoria Chen entered into a contract to buy a controlling interest in RECOV from RECOV’s principal, defendant Richard Verdiramo, and his father, defendant Vincent L. Verdiramo. The Complaint alleges that shortly after receiving the RECOV shares, Meyer began selling them on the open market. The SEC charged that Meyer violated Section 5(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 because his sales of RECOV shares were not registered with the SEC or subject to any exemptions from the registration provisions. The Final Judgment orders Meyer to disgorge his ill-gotten gains from these violations, which totaled approximately $48,000, and to pay a $48,000 penalty for these claims.

The SEC also charged Meyer with insider trading based on his sales of RECOV stock in August 2005. According to the Complaint, in October 2004, Meyer began working as a consultant for a private company that subsequently engaged in merger negotiations with RECOV. Meyer signed a confidentiality agreement in connection with his engagement as the private company’s consultant. The Complaint alleges that in July 2005, the private company’s principal told Meyer that he intended to terminate merger negotiations with RECOV. The Complaint alleges that Meyer sold RECOV shares after he learned of the principal’s intention to terminate merger negotiations and before the August 2005 public announcement that the parties had terminated merger negotiations. As a consequence of these trades, the Complaint alleges that Meyer avoided losses of $14,000. The SEC charged that the private company’s intention to terminate merger negotiations was material, non-public information, and that Meyer violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5 when he sold RECOV stock while in possession of that information without disclosing his intention to trade. The Final Judgment orders Meyer to disgorge the $14,000 of ill-gotten gains from these violations and to pay a $14,000 penalty for these claims.

Meyer was the subject of a previous Commission action, which he settled in May 2002, by consenting to a permanent injunction against violations of the anti-fraud, anti-touting, and registration provisions of the federal securities laws, among other sanctions. (SEC v. Vertucci, Straughn, Petry, Baughman, Johnson, Meyer, and Hazlet Investors, Inc., Litigation Release No. 17519, May 15, 2002).

The Commission’s pending litigation against the other defendants in this matter is ongoing. For additional information, see Litigation Release No. 21447 (March 10, 2010). [SEC v. Richard Verdiramo, Vincent L. Verdiramo, Edward Meyer, Jr., and Victoria Chen, Civil Action No. 10-CIV-1888 (S.D.N.Y.)] (LR-22017)
