Commission announcementsSEC Halts $100 Million Real-Estate Based Ponzi SchemeThe Securities and Exchange Commission today obtained a temporary restraining order and asset freeze against a Utah man and company charged with operating a real estate-based Ponzi scheme that bilked $100 million from investors nationwide. The SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, names Wayne L. Palmer and his firm, National Note of Utah, LC, both of West Jordan, Utah. According to the complaint, Palmer told investors that their money would be used to buy mortgage notes and real estate assets, or to make real estate loans. More than 600 individuals invested, lured by promises of annual returns of 12 percent, the SEC alleged. “Palmer promised double-digit returns at his real estate seminars, where investors learned the hard way about his lies and deceit,” said Kenneth Israel, Director of the SEC’s Salt Lake City Regional Office. Palmer told investors that their money would be completely secure and that National Note had a perfect record, having never missed paying principal or interest on its promissory notes. Glossy marketing materials that Palmer provided to some investors showed that National Note returns did not fluctuate and stated that investors were guaranteed payment even if property owners missed payment on mortgage loans that National Note held. Contrary to Palmer’s claims, National Note used most of the money it took in from new investors to pay earlier investors, making it a classic Ponzi scheme, the SEC alleged. It said that since 2009, National Note would not have been able survive but for the influx of new investor funds, and that its payments to investors all but stopped in October 2011. According to the SEC’s complaint, Palmer reassured investors that the money would be forthcoming, and continued to solicit new investors in National Note without disclosing the fact that it is delinquent in making payments to existing investors. The SEC’s complaint charges National Note and Palmer with violating the anti-fraud and securities registration provisions of U.S. securities laws. Palmer also faces charges that he operated as an unregistered broker-dealer. Scott Frost, Paul Feindt, Matthew Himes and Alison Okinaka of the SEC’s Salt Lake Regional Office conducted the investigation; Thomas Melton will lead the litigation. (Press Rel. 2012-119) Enforcement proceedingsIn the Matter of Matthew M. TanninOn June 25, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Matthew M. Tannin. The Order finds that on June 18, 2012, in the civil action SEC v. Ralph R. Cioffi, et al., Civil Action No. 08 Civ. 2457 (FB), the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered a final judgment by consent against Tannin, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Order further finds that Tannin, age 50, was a senior managing director of Bear Stearns Asset Management (BSAM), an investment adviser registered with the Commission. Tannin acted as chief operating officer and portfolio manager of two hedge funds for which BSAM was the general partner and investment adviser (Funds), the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Fund and Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Fund (Enhanced Leverage Fund). From August 1994 through March 2008, Tannin was also a registered representative associated with broker-dealers registered with the Commission. According to the Order, the Commission's complaint, filed on June 19, 2008 (Complaint), alleged that, in connection with the offer or sale of limited partnership interests, Tannin misrepresented the extent to which certain of the assets in the Funds’ portfolio were backed by subprime mortgages, and whether he was going to add to his personal investment in the Enhanced Leverage Fund. The complaint also alleged that during an investor call, Tannin misrepresented the prospects of the Funds going forward. The Order bars Tannin from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization, based on the injunction entered against him, with the right to apply for reentry after two years to the appropriate self-regulatory organization, or if there is none, to the Commission. Tannin consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except he admitted the entry of the civil injunction. For further information, see Lit. Rel. No. 20625 (June 19, 2008). (In the Matter of Matthew M. Tannin - Rel. 34-67249; IA-3421; File No. 3-14925) In the Matter of Ralph R. CioffiOn June 25, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Ralph R. Cioffi. The Order finds that on June 18, 2012, in the civil action SEC v. Ralph R. Cioffi, et al., Civil Action No. 08 Civ. 2457 (FB), the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered a final judgment by consent against Cioffi, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Order further finds that Cioffi, age 56, was a senior managing director and member of the board of directors of Bear Stearns Asset Management (BSAM), an investment adviser registered with the Commission. Cioffi acted as senior portfolio manager of two hedge funds for which BSAM was the general partner and investment adviser (Funds), the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Fund and Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Fund (Enhanced Leverage Fund). From August 1985 through November 2007, Cioffi was also a registered representative associated with broker-dealers registered with the Commission. According to the Order, the Commission's complaint, filed on June 19, 2008 (Complaint), alleged that, in connection with the offer or sale of limited partnership interests, Cioffi misrepresented the extent to which certain of the assets in the Funds’ portfolio were backed by subprime mortgages, and the level of investor redemptions during an investor call. The Complaint also alleged that Cioffi did not tell investors about a redemption of a portion of his personal investment in the Enhanced Leverage Fund used to invest in a third fund for which he acted as portfolio manager. The Order bars Cioffi from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization, based on the injunction entered against him, with the right to apply for reentry after three years to the appropriate self-regulatory organization, or if there is none, to the Commission. Cioffi consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except he admitted the entry of the civil injunction. For further information, see Lit. Rel. No. 20625 (June 19, 2008). (In the Matter of Ralph R. Cioffi - Rel. 34-67250; IA-3422; File No. 3-14926) In the Matter of Jetronic Industries, Inc. (n/k/a New Bastion Development, Inc.)An Administrative Law Judge has issued an Initial Decision (Decision) as to Jetronic Industries, Inc. (n/k/a New Bastion Development, Inc.) (Jetronic). The Order Instituting Proceedings alleged that Jetronic repeatedly failed to file required annual and quarterly reports while its securities were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Initial Decision finds these allegations to be true and revokes the registration of each class of registered securities of Jetronic, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). The proceeding has ended as to the remaining Respondents. See Jetronic Industries, Inc. (n/k/a New Bastion Development, Inc.), Exchange Act Release No. 66693 (Mar. 30, 2012). (Initial Decision No. 462; File No. 3-14767) Court Finds Bay Area Hedge Fund Manager in Civil Contempt For Failing to Pay More Than $12 Million in DisgorgementThe Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) today announced that on June 20, 2012, an Order Finding Defendants In Civil Contempt was issued by a judge in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against defendants Lawrence R. Goldfarb (“Goldfarb”) and Baystar Capital Management, LLC (“Baystar Capital”) in the proceeding entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Lawrence R. Goldfarb, et. al, Case No. C-11-00938-WHA. The Order found that defendants failed to pay disgorgement in compliance with the provisions of a Final Judgment entered against them on March 16, 2011 and furthermore failed to demonstrate that they reasonably attempted to comply with their disgorgement obligations. Previously, on March 1, 2011, the Commission filed a Complaint against investment advisers Goldfarb and Baystar Capital alleging that they violated Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 by engaging in a fraudulent scheme with respect to their funds [15 U.S.C. §§ 80b-6(1), (2)]. The Complaint also alleged that Goldfarb and Baystar Capital made material misstatements and omissions, and engaged in a fraudulent scheme, with respect to investors in a pooled investment vehicle in violation of Sections 206(4) and Rule 206(4)-8 of the Advisers Act [15 U.S.C. § 80b-6(4); 17 C.F.R. § 275.206(4)-8]. These violations were based upon allegations that defendants took $12 million in proceeds from an investment under their management and misappropriated those proceeds for their own use, rather than distributing those proceeds to investors. At the same time that it filed the Complaint, the Commission also filed the written Consents of Goldfarb and of Baystar Capital to the entry of a Final Judgment against them. Without admitting or denying the Complaint’s allegations, defendants agreed, among other things, to pay $12,112,416 in disgorgement and $1,967,371 in prejudgment interest to the court’s registry within 365 days of entry of the Final Judgment. Defendants also agreed to make four progress payments, including a $1.025 million payment due within 180 days of entry of the Final Judgment. Defendants eventually made three progress payments totaling $80,000 in disgorgement, but failed to make the $1.025 million progress payment or the final payment. In April 2012, the Commission filed an Application with the Court for an order for defendants to show cause why they should not be found in civil contempt of the Final Judgment. In its Order dated June 20, 2012, the Court found that the defendants were in breach of the Final Judgment by failing to pay the disgorgement amounts ordered. The Court also found that defendants had failed to establish a good faith effort to fulfill their disgorgement obligations because, among other things, they used available funds for large personal expenses such as courtside seats to Golden State Warriors games, charters of aircraft for personal trips, Goldfarb’s mortgage payment and numerous personal vacations, rather than to pay disgorgement. In the Order, the Court also approved the appointment of a receiver over defendants’ assets and reaffirmed its prior order limiting Goldfarb’s monthly spending. For additional information, please see Litigation Release No. 21870 (Mar. 1, 2011) and Press Release No. 2011-54 (Mar. 1, 2011). [SEC v. Lawrence R. Goldfarb and Baystar Capital Group, LLC, CV-11-00938 WHA (U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California] (LR-22397) SEC v. Cioffi, et al.The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York approved Securities and Exchange Commission settlements with two former Bear Stearns Asset Management portfolio managers on June 18, 2012, bringing to a close the SEC’s civil litigation against the managers. The court ordered Ralph R. Cioffi and Matthew M. Tannin, who co-managed the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Fund and Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Fund, to pay a total of $1.05 million in disgorgement and civil penalties and enjoined them from federal securities law violations. As part of the settlement, the Commission today issued orders instituting administrative proceedings that bar Cioffi and Tannin from industries regulated by the SEC for periods of three years and two years, respectively. The SEC’s complaint, filed June 19, 2008, alleged that the Bear Stearns funds collapsed in June 2007 after taking highly leveraged positions in structured securities based largely on subprime mortgage-backed securities. Cioffi was the senior portfolio manager, and Tannin was a portfolio manager and the chief operating officer for the funds. According to the complaint, Cioffi and Tannin misrepresented the extent to which the funds had invested in securities backed by subprime mortgages and, during an April 2007 investor conference call, Cioffi misrepresented the level of investor redemption requests. The complaint also alleged that Cioffi did not tell investors about his own April 2007 redemption of a portion of his personal investment in the Enhanced Leverage Fund used to invest in a third fund for which he acted as portfolio manager. The complaint further alleged that Tannin misrepresented that he was going to add to his personal investment in the Enhanced Leverage Fund and that he misrepresented the funds’ prospects during the April 2007 investor call. Cioffi and Tannin settled the SEC’s charges, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, and consented to the entry of district court judgments that permanently enjoin them from violating Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, which prohibits untrue statements related to the offer or sale of securities. The judgments also ordered Cioffi to pay $700,000 in disgorgement and a $100,000 civil penalty, and ordered Tannin to pay $200,000 in disgorgement and a $50,000 civil penalty. Cioffi and Tannin further consented to issuance of the Commission orders, which bar them from associating with any investment adviser, broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization, for three years as to Cioffi and two years as to Tannin. The Commission issued its orders in administrative proceedings instituted after the district court entered the injunctions. [SEC v. Ralph R. Cioffi and Matthew M. Tannin, Civil Action No. 08 2457 (FB) (E.D.N.Y.)] (LR-22398) SEC Charges Owner of Two New Jersey-Based Firms in Stock Lending SchemeThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a New Jersey businessman with running a stock-lending scheme that defrauded public company officials and brought restricted stock to the market. Ayuda Equity Funding, LLC and AmeriFund Capital Holdings, LLC, both located in North Butler, New Jersey, and owner Manuel M. Bello, agreed to settle the SEC’s complaint without admitting or denying the allegations. Bello and the firms jointly agreed to return $3.2 million of ill-gotten gains, plus interest. Bello, of Kinnelon, New Jersey, also agreed to pay a $500,000 penalty and be permanently barred from the securities industry. According to the SEC’s complaint, Ayuda and AmeriFund reaped more than $3.2 million of illegal gains on loans to public company officers and directors who put up stock as collateral. Although some borrowers received written and oral assurances that the stock would not be sold as long as they did not default on their loan payments, Ayuda and AmeriFund sold the shares before or soon after making the loans, the SEC alleged. The SEC also alleged that in at least 35 loan transactions, Ayuda and AmeriFund sold the borrowers’ restricted shares into the market without registering the transactions and the firms and Bello failed to register with the SEC as brokers or dealers. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, Ayuda, AmeriFund, and Bello consented to a final judgment permanently enjoining them from violating federal anti-fraud, broker-dealer registration, and securities registration laws. The settlement is subject to court approval. In a separate administrative proceeding, the SEC charged Howard L. Blum, alleging that he brokered numerous transactions for Ayuda without being registered as a broker or dealer. Blum, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, agreed to return more than $1 million of allegedly ill-gotten gains, plus interest, pay a $50,000 penalty, and be suspended from the securities industry for twelve months. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Jacob D. Krawitz and supervised by Julie M. Riewe. [SEC v. Manuel M.
