Enforcement Proceedings
In the Matter of Frances M. Guggino a/k/a Frances Favata
On August 23, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Sections 9(b) and 9(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order (Order) against Frances M. Guggino a/k/a Frances Favata. The Order finds that Frances M. Guggino, the former CFO and Treasurer of the Fixed Income Funds advised by Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC, altered books and records of one of the mutual funds – specifically, a trial balance and Board Meeting Minutes – in order to convince others at Legg Mason & Co. that the fund had received an advancement in connection with a Commission Fair Fund distribution, when the fund had not. Among the documents Ms. Guggino altered were documents required to be created and maintained pursuant to the Investment Company Act. Thus, her alteration of these documents constitutes a violation of Section 34(a) of the Investment Company Act.
Based on the above, Frances M. Guggino is ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 34(a) of the Investment Company Act, to pay a civil money penalty of $15,000 and is barred from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization, and is prohibited from serving or acting as an employee, officer, director, member of an advisory board, investment adviser or depositor of, or principal underwriter for, a registered investment company or affiliated person of such investment adviser, depositor or principal underwriter. Frances M. Guggino consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings. (Rels. IA- IA-3449; IC-30181; File No. 3-14995)
In the Matter of Spyglass Equity Systems, Inc.
On August 24, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Spyglass Equity Systems, Inc. (Spyglass).
The Order finds that on July 27, 2012, a final judgment was entered by consent against Spyglass, permanently enjoining it from future violations of Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and from aiding and abetting violations of Section 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Spyglass Equity Systems, Inc., Civil Action Number LACV11-02371 JAK, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Commission’s complaint in that action alleged that between October 2007 and March 2009, Spyglass, a California corporation with its principal place of business in Los Angeles, California, operated as a telemarketing firm purportedly selling automated trading systems. Spyglass offered and sold to investors memberships in LLCs that would allow access to trading systems and engage in stock trading on behalf of the investors. Spyglass made baseless performance representations, false statements about the stature and integrity of the investment, misrepresentations about the “systems” supposedly used to trade stock on behalf of investors and misrepresentations about the fees to be charged investors. Investors lost over $3 million in the scheme.
Based on the above, Spyglass is barred from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization; and barred from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock. Spyglass consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings of the Order except that it admitted the entry of the injunction against it. (Rel. 34-67224; File No. 3-14996)
SEC Charges New York-Based Firm And Owner In Penny Stock Scheme
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a New York-based firm and its owner its owner with conducting a penny stock scheme in which they bought billions of stock shares from small companies and illegally resold those shares in the public market.
The SEC alleges that Edward Bronson and E-Lionheart Associates LLC reaped more than $10 million in unlawful profits from selling shares they bought at deep discounts from approximately 100 penny stock companies. On average, Bronson and E-Lionheart were able to generate sales proceeds that were approximately double the price at which they had acquired the shares. No registration statement was filed or in effect for any of the securities that Bronson and E-Lionheart resold to the investing public, and no valid exemption from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws was available.
According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Bronson lives in Ossining, N.Y. E-Lionheart, which also does business under the name Fairhills Capital, is located in White Plains. Acting at Bronson’s direction, E-Lionheart personnel systematically “cold called” penny stock companies quoted on the OTC Link to ask if they were interested in obtaining capital. If the company was interested, E-Lionheart personnel would offer to buy stock in the company at a rate that was deeply discounted from the trading price of the company’s stock at that time. Typically, Bronson and E-Lionheart immediately began reselling the shares to the investing public through a broker within days of receiving the shares from the company.
Bronson and E-Lionheart purported to rely on an exemption from registration under Rule 504(b)(1)(iii) of Regulation D, which exempts transactions that are in compliance with certain types of state law exemptions. However, no such state law exemptions were applicable to these transactions. Bronson and E-Lionheart claimed to rely on a Delaware state law registration exemption, but the transactions in fact had little or no connection to the state of Delaware. The particular Delaware state law exemption claimed by Bronson and E-Lionheart is not an exemption that meets the specific requirements of Rule 504(b)(1)(iii). As a result, investors purchasing these shares did not have access to all of the information that a registration statement would have provided, including in many instances important information concerning the issuance of millions of new shares by the company to Bronson and E-Lionheart.
The SEC’s complaint charges E-Lionheart and Bronson with violations of the registration provisions of the federal securities laws, and seeks disgorgement of more than $10 million in ill-gotten gains, penalties. The SEC also seeks penny stock bars. The complaint also names another entity owned and controlled by Bronson – Fairhills Capital Inc. – as a relief defendant for the purpose of recovering the illegal proceeds it received. [SEC v. Edward Bronson, et al., Case No. 12-CV-6421 (S.D.N.Y.)] (LR-22457)
