RULES AND RELATED MATTERSOrder Granting Conditional Exemptions Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in Connection with Portfolio Margining of Swaps and Security-Based SwapsOn December 14, 2012, the Commission issued an order granting conditional exemptive relief from compliance with certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with a program to commingle and portfolio margin customer positions in cleared credit default swaps, which include both swaps and security-based swaps, in a segregated account established and maintained in accordance with Section 4d(f) of the Commodity Exchange Act. Publication is expected in the Federal Register during the week of December 17. (Rel. 34-68433) Order Granting Limited Exemptions from Exchange Act Rules 101 and 102 of Regulation M to Shares of JPM XF Physical Copper Trust Pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 101(d) and 102(e)An order was issued granting an application of JPM XF Physical Copper Trust an exemption from Rules 102 and 102 pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 101(d) and 102(e). Publication is expected in the Federal Register during the week of December 17. (Rel. 34-68439) Enforcement ProceedingsDIAS Holding, Inc., FIIC Holdings, Inc., GeM Solutions, Inc., and GPS Industries, Inc.An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registrations by Default as to DIAS Holding, Inc., FIIC Holdings, Inc., GeM Solutions, Inc., and GPS Industries, Inc., in DIAS Holding, Inc., Admin. Proc. File No. 3-15090 (Default Order). The Default Order finds that DIAS Holding, Inc., FIIC Holdings, Inc., GeM Solutions, Inc., and GPS Industries, Inc., are issuers of securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), and that they failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 by failing to file required periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission). As a result, the ALJ ordered that the registration of each class of each issuer’s registered securities is revoked. In the same proceeding, the Commission revoked the registration of the registered securities of EarthBlock Technologies, Inc., on December 12, 2012; Ensurapet, Inc., (Ensurapet) has been ordered to file an Answer to the OIP by December 21, 2012, to avoid a default; and Ensurapet and Gold Star Tutoring Services, Inc., have thirty days to file, in a manner acceptable to the Division of Corporation Finance, the periodic filings specified in the OIP to avoid revocation of their registered securities. (Rel. 34-68454; File No. 3-15090) SEC Charges Financial Media Company and Executives Involved in Accounting FraudThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a digital financial media company and three executives for their roles in an accounting fraud that artificially inflated company revenues and misstated operating income to investors. The SEC alleges that TheStreet Inc., which operates the website TheStreet.com, filed false financial reports throughout 2008 by reporting revenue from fraudulent transactions at a subsidiary it had acquired the previous year. The co-presidents of the subsidiary – Gregg Alwine and David Barnett – entered into sham transactions with friendly counterparties that had little or no economic substance. They also fabricated and backdated contracts and other documents to facilitate the fraudulent accounting. Barnett is additionally charged with misleading TheStreet’s auditor to believe that the subsidiary had performed services to earn revenue on a specific transaction when in fact it did not perform the services. The SEC also alleges that TheStreet’s former chief financial officer Eric Ashman caused the company to report revenue before it had been earned. The three executives agreed to pay financial penalties and accept officer-and-director bars to settle the SEC’s charges. “Alwine and Barnett used crooked tactics, Ashman ignored basic accounting rules, and TheStreet failed to put controls in place to spot the wrongdoing,” said Andrew M. Calamari, Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office. “The SEC will continue to root out accounting fraud and punish the executives responsible.” According to the SEC’s complaints filed in federal court in Manhattan, the subsidiary acquired by TheStreet specializes in online promotions such as sweepstakes. After the acquisition, TheStreet failed to implement a system of internal controls at the subsidiary, which enabled the accounting fraud. The SEC alleges that through the actions of Ashman, Alwine, and Barnett, TheStreet:
According to the SEC’s complaint, when the subsidiary’s financial results were consolidated with TheStreet’s financial results for financial reporting purposes, the improper revenue on the subsidiary’s books resulted in material misstatements in the company’s quarterly and annual reports for fiscal year 2008. On Feb. 8, 2010, TheStreet restated its 2008 Form 10-K and disclosed a number of improprieties related to revenue recognition at its subsidiary, including transactions that lacked economic substance, internal control deficiencies, and improper accounting for certain contracts. Ashman agreed to pay a $125,000 penalty and reimburse TheStreet $34,240.40 under the clawback provision (Section 304) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and he will be barred from acting as a director or officer of a public company for three years. Barnett and Alwine agreed to pay penalties of $130,000 and $120,000 respectively, and to be barred from serving as officers or directors of a public company for 10 years. Without admitting or denying the allegations, the three executives and TheStreet agreed to be permanently enjoined from future violations of the federal securities laws. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Senior Counsel Maureen P. King and Staff Accountant Nandy Celamy of the New York Regional Office. Aaron Arnzen served as Senior Trial Counsel in the matter. (Press Rel. 2012-270; [SEC v. TheStreet, Inc., Civil Action No. 12-CV-9187 (JGK) (S.D.N.Y.); SEC v. Eric Ashman, Civil Action No. 12-CV-9189 (S.D.N.Y.); SEC v. Gregg Alwine and David Barnett, Civil Action No. 12-CV-9191 (S.D.N.Y.]; AAE Rel. 3432; LR-22575) SEC Revokes Registration of Toronto-Based Broker and Bans Two Executives from U.S. Securities Industry for Allowing LayeringThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a Toronto-based brokerage firm and its top two executives for failing to supervise overseas day traders who used the firm’s order management system to engage repeatedly in a manipulative trading practice known as layering. In layering, a trader places orders with no intention of having them executed but rather to trick others into buying or selling a stock at an artificial price driven by the orders, which the trader later cancels. The SEC’s investigation found that Biremis – whose worldwide day trading business enabled up to 5,000 traders on as many 200 trading floors in 30 countries to gain access to U.S. markets – failed to address repeated instances of layering by many of the overseas day traders using its system. The firm’s co-founders Peter Beck and Charles Kim ignored repeated red flags indicating that overseas traders were engaging in layering manipulations. Biremis served as the broker-dealer for an affiliated Canadian day trading firm, Swift Trade Inc. Biremis and the two executives agreed to a settlement in which the firm’s registration as a U.S. broker-dealer is revoked and permanent industry bars are imposed on Beck and Kim, who also will pay a combined half-million dollars to settle the SEC’s charges. “Engaged and forceful supervisors are the first line of defense against individual misconduct in financial services companies,” said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “Beck and Kim were neither, as they saw obvious red flags of market manipulation by their firm’s traders but failed to respond or take any steps to prevent the manipulation. They have learned the painful lesson that supervisors who fail to heed repeated red flags of misconduct will no longer have any place in the securities industry.” According to the SEC’s order instituting settled administrative proceedings, Biremis, Beck, and Kim exercised substantial control over the overseas day traders. They backed the traders’ trading with capital from Biremis, determined the amount of Biremis capital available to each individual trader to purchase stocks, and set and enforced daily loss limits on each trader. They also wielded authority to reprimand, restrict, suspend, or terminate traders. The SEC’s order found that many of the Biremis-affiliated overseas day traders engaged in repeated instances of layering from January 2007 to mid-2010. Beck and Kim learned from numerous sources – including three U.S. broker-dealers and a Biremis employee – that layering was occurring, yet they failed to take any steps to prevent it. For example, in spring 2008, representatives of one U.S. broker-dealer warned Beck and Kim that certain overseas traders were “gaming” U.S. stocks by altering those stocks’ bid and offer prices in order to buy or sell the stock at the altered price. Beck and Kim failed to act on this information. According to the SEC’s order, Biremis also failed to retain virtually all of its instant messages related to its broker-dealer business, and failed to file any suspicious activity reports (SARs) related to the manipulative trading. “Broker-dealers must recognize that their supervisory responsibilities over their associated persons don’t end at the U.S. border,” said Antonia Chion, Associate Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “Broker-dealers face severe consequences if they fail to supervise their traders who engage in manipulative trading, whether those traders are located in the U.S. or abroad.” The SEC’s order finds that Biremis, Beck, and Kim failed reasonably to supervise the firm’s associated persons (the overseas day traders) with a view to preventing and detecting their layering manipulations. The order also finds that Biremis willfully violated Exchange Act Section 17(a) and Rule 17a-8 by failing to file SARs and Section 17(a) and Rule 17a-4(b)(4) by failing to retain instant messages. The SEC’s order revokes Biremis’ registration as a broker-dealer and requires the firm to cease and desist from committing or causing violations of Exchange Act Section 17(a) and Rules 17a-4(b)(4) and 17a-8. The SEC imposed permanent industry bars on Beck and Kim, who each agreed to pay penalties of $250,000. Biremis, Beck, and Kim neither admitted nor denied the findings contained in the SEC’s order. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by senior counsel Paul J. Bohr and supervised by assistant director Ricky Sachar. The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the Ontario Securities Commission, the U.K. Financial Services Authority, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). (Press Rel. 2012-271; Rel. 34-68456; File No. 3-15136) In the Matter of New England Investment and Retirement Group and Nicholas John GiacoumakisOn December 18, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Sections 203(e) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-And-Desist Order (the Order) against New England Investment and Retirement Group, Inc. (NEINV), an North Andover, Massachusetts investment adviser registered with the Commission, and Nicholas John Giacoumakis (Giacoumakis), the principal, President, and sole owner of NEINV. The Order finds that, from approximately 2007 through 2011, NEINV and Giacoumakis, on several occasions, provided clients or prospective clients with reports generated using Morningstar® Principia® software. Among other things, the Principia reports purport to compare the historical performance and risk of NEINV’s equity and fixed income models to either an equity or fixed income benchmark. However, these NEINV Principia reports did not represent past performance of NEINV’s models. Instead, NEINV generated the information in these reports by inputting in the Principia software the current investments of one of NEINV’s models and analyzing how the model would have performed had the model held its current investments throughout the entire time period in the NEINV Principia report. In reality, the models did not exist throughout the entire time period in the report and the models’ holdings changed over time during the period when they did exist. The NEINV model performance reports did not disclose that the model results portrayed were hypothetical, not actual, results. Giacoumakis was responsible for distributing and presenting the NEINV Principia reports to several clients and prospective clients of NEINV. In addition, the Order find that, throughout the relevant time period, NEINV failed to implement written compliance policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent its employees from presenting performance information to clients or prospective clients that did not violate the Advisers Act and its rules. NEINV and Giacoumakis consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings. The Order: censures NEINV; requires NEINV 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) and 206(4)-7 promulgated thereunder, and requiring Giacoumakis to cease-and-desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-1 and 206(4)-7 promulgated thereunder; and requires NEINV and Giacoumakis to pay a civil penalty, on a joint and several basis of $200,000.
