Commission Announcements

Danforth Townley Named Attorney Fellow in SEC’s Division of Investment Management

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Danforth Townley has been appointed an Attorney Fellow in its Division of Investment Management, which protects investors and promotes capital formation through oversight and regulation of the nation’s multi-trillion dollar investment management industry.

Mr. Townley will provide counsel on rulemaking issues and other policy initiatives beginning in January 2013.

“We are pleased to announce that Dan is joining the Division of Investment Management.  He has longtime experience in private practice in advising hedge funds, private equity funds, and investment companies that will be helpful to the Division,” said Norm Champ, Director of the SEC’s Division of Investment Management.

Mr. Townley said, “I’m extremely excited to have this opportunity to serve at the SEC during this busy period of regulatory change for the financial industry.  I look forward to working with Norm Champ and the staff of the Division of Investment Management on important rulemaking activities and other regulatory initiatives.”

Mr. Townley comes to the SEC from law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, where he is a partner in the firm’s Corporate Department and practices in its Investment Management Group in New York.  He has advised clients on investment funds and related corporate finance transactions including the structuring and offering of hedge funds, private equity funds, and other investment vehicles.  Mr. Townley has advised financial institutions, fund sponsors, corporations, employees’ securities companies, and other entities about regulatory compliance and exemptions pertaining to the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.  He has served as Chair of the Practising Law Institute’s Annual Conference on Hedge Funds and as a regular panelist on investment fund topics.  From 1985 to 1986, Mr. Townley clerked for the Honorable Robert W. Sweet, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. 

Mr. Townley has a B.A. from Yale College, magna cum laude, and a J.D. from Yale Law School, where he served as editor of The Yale Law Journal. (Press Rel. 2012-265)

Enforcement Proceedings

Commission Bars John W. Lawton Following His Injunction for Anti-Fraud Violations of the Securities Laws

The Commission has barred John W. Lawton, formerly associated with Crossroad Capital Management, LLC, an investment adviser, from association with any investment adviser, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Commission found that Lawton consented to a permanent injunction from anti-fraud securities law violations based on his fraudulent statements to investors, and was ordered to disgorge more than $1.7 million in ill-gotten gains. The Commission also found that Lawton pleaded guilty to criminal mail fraud and to making a false statement to mislead the Commission's fraud investigation, and was sentenced to seventy months' imprisonment and ordered to pay more than $7 million in restitution.

The Commission determined that the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act authorized its decision to simultaneously bar Lawton from association with investment advisers, brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers, municipal advisors, transfer agents, and NRSROs. Noting that the case addressed Lawton's conduct prior to the passage of Dodd-Frank in 2010, the Commission held that these remedies were not retroactive, finding that the bars were prospective remedies authorized by Congress "to protect investors from future harm." Based on the facts underlying Lawton's injunction and conviction, the Commission determined that the public interest requires a full securities industry bar, noting that his conduct "financially enriched Lawton while he knowingly concealed millions of dollars" in investor losses and constituted a "longstanding pattern" demonstrating unfitness for the securities markets in any capacity. It found that the bars are necessary to foreclose "opportunities for future illegal conduct" in the industry, and that his conduct during the Commission investigation "reveals an attitude toward regulatory oversight that is fundamentally incompatible with the principles of investor protection and with association in any capacity" in the securities industry.

Commissioners Paredes and Gallagher concurred in part and dissented with respect to the bar from association with municipal advisors and nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. A dissenting opinion will issue separately. (Rel. IA-3513; File No. 3-14162)
