Commission Announcements

SEC Announces July 29 Field Hearing on the State of the Municipal Securities Market

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that it will hold a municipal securities market field hearing in Jefferson County, Ala., on July 29. Topics will include distressed communities, small issuers, disclosure, derivatives and pre-trade price transparency.

“Hearing directly from those who are affected by our policies helps to shape better rules,” said Chairman Mary L. Schapiro. “That’s especially the case with municipal securities.”

The event is the third in a series of hearings examining issues that affect investors in the municipal securities market. The first was held in San Francisco in September, 2010, followed by a hearing in December at the SEC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.

“Our hearing in Jefferson County will allow us to gather real-world insights that are critical to our examination of these timely and important issues,” said SEC Commissioner Elisse Walter, who is chairing the field hearings.

Following the hearings, Commission staff will prepare a report addressing information learned, including their recommendations for further action that the Commission should pursue, which may include Commission rulemaking, changes in industry “best practices,” or legislation by Congress.

The hearing will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Fri., July 29, at Rosewood Hall, 2850 19th Street South, Homewood, Ala., 35209. The public is welcome to attend. Admission is free. The hearing will be accessible online at www.sec.gov the day of the event, and archived for access afterward.

The Commission has taken several actions regarding municipal securities. In December, it voted to propose a rule creating a new process by which municipal advisors must register with the SEC. In May 2010, the Commission voted to approve rule changes improving the quality and timeliness of municipal securities disclosure. The measures were intended to strengthen existing requirements for the scope of securities covered, the nature of the events that issuers must disclose, and the time period in which disclosure must be made.

The SEC continues to encourage members of the public and other interested parties to submit comments related to the municipal securities market by using the comment form on the SEC website, sending an e-mail to munifieldhearings@sec.gov, or by telephone at (202) 551-5717.

Enforcement Proceedings

Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of SI Restructuring, Inc. (f/k/a Schlotzsky’s, Inc.) for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

On July 15, 2011, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of SI Restructuring, Inc. (f/k/a Schlotzsky’s, Inc.) (SI Restructuring) 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, SI Restructuring 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 SI Restructuring, Inc. (f/k/a Schlotzsky’s, 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 SI Restructuring’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. This Order settled the proceedings brought against SI Restructuring in In the Matter of SHC Corp. (f/k/a Victormaxx Technologies, Inc.), et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14426.

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 . . . .

See Order Making Findings and Revoking Registration of Securities Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to SI Restructuring, Inc. (f/k/a Schlotzsky’s, Inc.), In the Matter of SHC Corp. (f/k/a Victormaxx Technologies, Inc.), et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14426, Exchange Act Release No. 34-64894 (July 15, 2011).

Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief Entered Against Defendants Robert C. Brown, Jr. and Trebor Company and Orders Instituting Administrative Proceedings, Making Findings and Imposing Sanctions Against Robert C. Brown, Jr.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced that on July 1, 2011, the Honorable Edward M. Chen, United States District Court Judge for the Northern District of California, entered judgments of permanent injunction against Defendants Robert C. Brown, Jr. and Trebor Company.

The final judgment against Brown and Trebor Company enjoins them from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers of 1940 (Advisers Act).

On July 23, 2008, the Commission filed its complaint against the Defendants alleging that they violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws by, among other things, offering a variety of investment programs that falsely promised astronomical returns. One program promised, for example, to double investor money in eight months. The complaint also alleged that Brown raised more than $20 million. Instead of investing that money, however, Brown transferred millions of dollars to himself and spent the money on lavish personal expenses.

On April 6, 2010, Brown pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in a parallel criminal action brought by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California. Later this year, Brown will be sentenced to prison and ordered to pay restitution to the victims of his fraud. See Securities and Exchange Commission v. Robert C. Brown, Jr., Et Al., Civil Action No. 3:08-Cv-03517 EMC (N.D. Ca.)(LR-22038).

In addition to the relief described above, Brown consented to the entry of an order, without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except he admitted entry of the injunction and conviction, in a separate Commission administrative proceeding barring him permanently, pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Advisers Act, from associating with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical ratings organization. (Rel. IA-3240; File No. 3-14468).

SEC Charges Operator of $21 Million Forex Ponzi Scheme

The Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2011 filed fraud charges against the CEO of a purported foreign currency trading firm, alleging he scammed hundreds of investors with false promises of high, fixed-rate returns while secretly using their money to fund his start-up alternative newspaper.

First Capital Savings & Loan Ltd. Chief Executive Jeffery A. Lowrance, who had fled to Peru and was arrested there earlier this year, was arraigned today on criminal fraud charges in a 2010 indictment filed by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois. In addition, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed fraud charges Thursday against Lowrance and First Capital.

The SEC alleges that Lowrance raised approximately $21 million from investors in at least 26 states, including California, Oregon, Illinois, and Utah by promising huge profits from a specialized foreign currency trading program. In reality, First Capital conducted little foreign currency trading, lost money on the little trading that it conducted, and never engaged in any profitable business operations. Lowrance targeted investors by purporting to share their Christian values and limited-government political views. He solicited investors through, among other things, ads in his start-up newspaper USA Tomorrow, which he distributed at a September 2, 2008 political rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

According to the SEC’s complaint, filed in federal district court in San Jose, California, Lowrance and First Capital promised investors a “predictable monthly income,” with monthly returns up to 7.15 percent through foreign currency trading. Some investors were told their investment was guaranteed, and were given bogus letters of credit. First Capital also published a spreadsheet purporting to show its multi-year history of profitable trades. In fact, the trades were fictitious. Instead of engaging in foreign currency trading as claimed, Lowrance and First Capital secretly diverted investor funds to pay fake returns to other, earlier investors, to pay Lowrance (despite his failure to earn a profit for the investors), and to fund his newspaper.

Lowrance’s scheme began to unravel in June 2008 and Lowrance and First Capital had lost all of the investors’ money by September 2008. Nevertheless, Lowrance solicited at least an additional $1 million from at least 36 investors between June 2008 and February 2009 by continuing to tout First Capital’s fictitious high returns, the SEC alleges.

The Commission’s complaint alleges Lowrance and First Capital violated Sections Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and seeks disgorgement, penalties, and other relief. (LR-22040; Press Rel. 2011-147).
