Rules and Related Matters

SEC Extends Temporary Municipal Advisor Registration Rule

On September 21, 2012, the Commission amended interim final temporary Rule 15Ba2-6T by extending the expiration date of that rule and Form MA-T, which provide a method for municipal advisors to temporarily satisfy the registration requirement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Without the twelve-month extension, the rule and form would expire on September 30, 2012. The extension will allow municipal advisors to continue to temporarily satisfy the statutory registration requirement until the Commission promulgates a final rule that establishes another manner of registration of municipal advisors, prescribes a form for such purpose, and develops an electronic registration system. Publication of the extension is expected in the Federal Register during the week of September 24. (Rel. 34-67901)

ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

Commission Permanently Disqualifies Accountant Michael C. Pattison from Appearing or Practicing Before the Commission Following the Entry of a Permanent Injunction

The Commission has permanently disqualified Michael C. Pattison, an accountant and former Controller of Embarcadero Technologies, Inc., from appearing or practicing before it as an accountant pursuant to Rule of Practice 102(e)(3). The Commission found that Pattison had been permanently enjoined by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California after a jury found that Pattison violated Section 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Exchange Act Rule 13b2-1 in connection with Pattison's involvement in backdating stock options. The District Court had found that Pattison acted knowingly when he falsified records and circumvented internal controls to make it appear that no stock option grants were backdated and below fair market value. The Commission found that it was in the public interest and necessary to preserve the integrity of its processes to permanently disqualify Pattison from practice before the Commission. The Commission also found that the sanction is remedial because it will prevent Pattison and deter others from disregarding their professional responsibilities and protect the investing public by encouraging reliable corporate disclosure and accountability through accurate recordkeeping and diligent compliance with internal accounting controls. (Rel. 34-67900; AAE Rel. 3407; File No. 3-14323)

In the Matter of Stock Markets Institute, Inc. and Sergey Perminov

On September 21, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Sections 203(e), 203(f) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act), Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order (Order) against Stock Markets Institute, Inc. (SMI) and Sergey Perminov (Perminov). The Order finds that SMI, a registered investment adviser and on-line financial newsletter publisher that provides a service commonly referred to as “auto-trading,” misrepresented and omitted to state material facts regarding the returns achieved by certain of its newsletters in 2008 and 2009. Perminov is the founder, president, and 80% owner of SMI and manages the operations of SMI. SMI publishes several paid subscription newsletters, including, during 2008, QQQQ Picks, and during 2009, QQQQ Picks and QQQQ Enhanced Picks. The Order finds that SMI inflated its 2008 performance results for the QQQQ Picks newsletter by failing to disclose a number of trade alerts that resulted in significant losses. The Order also finds that SMI inflated its number of winning trades in 2009 for the QQQQ Picks and QQQQ Enhanced Picks newsletters by reporting trades made by different broker-dealers in connection with a single winning trade alert as separate trades where the broker-dealers obtained different prices when executing that trade alert. SMI also failed to disclose trade alerts that resulted in losses.

Based on the above, the Order censures SMI and Perminov and requires them to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 206(2) and 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-1(a)(2) and (5) thereunder. The Order also requires Perminov to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $40,000 and requires SMI to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $75,000, for which Perminov is jointly and severally liable. The Order also requires SMI to comply with certain Undertakings, including making available to current and potential subscribers the complete performance histories for all of its newsletters; establishing internal procedures and controls reasonably designed to ensure the accuracy of SMI’s representations regarding the performance of its trading; and retaining an independent compliance consultant to perform annual reviews of SMI’s internal controls, policies and procedures, performance representations, and advertising materials for compliance with the Advisers Act for a period of two years. SMI and Perminov each consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order. In determining to accept their offers of settlement, the Commission considered remedial acts undertaken by SMI. (Rel. IA-3473; File No. 3-15038)

SEC Charges Oregon-Based Hedge Fund Manager With Running $37 Million Ponzi Scheme

On September 20, 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed fraud charges against a Portland, Oregon-based investment adviser who perpetrated a long-running Ponzi scheme that raised over $37 million from more than 100 investors in the Pacific Northwest and across the country.

The SEC alleges that Yusaf Jawed and two entities he controlled (Grifphon Asset Management LLC and Grifphon Holdings LLC) used false marketing materials that boasted double-digit returns to lure people to invest their money into several hedge funds he managed. He then improperly redirected their money into accounts he personally controlled. As part of the scheme, Jawed created phony assets, sent bogus account statements to investors, and manufactured a sham buyout of the funds to make investors think their hedge fund interests would soon be redeemed. Jawed misused investor money to pay off earlier investors, pay his own expenses and travel, and create the overall illusion of success and achievement to impress investors.

The SEC’s complaint against Jawed additionally charges Robert P. Custis, an attorney who Jawed hired to assist him in the fraud. Custis sent false and misleading statements to investors about the status of a purported buyout of the Grifphon funds’ assets. Custis consistently misrepresented that this purchase was imminent and would result in investors’ investments being repaid at a profit.

The SEC filed separate complaints against two others connected to Jawed’s scheme. Those complaints allege that Jacques Nichols – a Portland-based attorney – falsely claimed to investors that an independent third party would pay tens of millions of dollars to buy the hedge funds’ alleged assets at a premium, and that Jawed’s associate, Lyman Bruhn, of Vancouver, Wash., ran a separate Ponzi scheme and induced investments through false claims he was investing in “blue chip” stocks. Nichols, Bruhn, and two entities Bruhn controlled (Pearl Asset Management LLC and Sasquatch Capital Management, LLC) agreed to settle the SEC’s charges without admitting or denying the allegations by consenting to entry of permanent injunctions against violations of the antifraud provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and other relief.

[SEC v. Yusaf Jawed, Grifphon Asset Management, LLC, Grifphon Holdings, LLC, and Robert P. Custis, Civil Action No. 12-1696 (U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon; SEC v. Jacques Nichols, Civil Action No. 12-1698 (U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon; SEC v. Lyman Bruhn, Pearl Asset Management, LLC, and Sasquatch Capital Management, LLC, Civil Action No. 12-1697 (U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon] (LR-22487)
