Any broker or dealer with questions regarding the rule should contact the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, DC at (202) 551-5720. If any broker or dealer enters any quotation which is in violation of the rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement action.

The judge in the proceedings will then determine whether the registrations pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 of each class of the securities of these Respondents should be revoked or suspended for a period not exceeding twelve months.

(Rel. 34-68836; File No. 3-15201)

In the Matter of Howard B. Berger

On February 6, 2013, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Howard B. Berger (Berger), a resident of Syosset, New York. The Order finds that Berger co-managed Professional Traders Management, LLC and Professional Offshore Traders Management, LLC, investment advisers not registered with the Commission that managed two hedge funds, Professional Traders Fund, LLC (PTF) and Professional Offshore Opportunity Fund, Ltd. (POOF), respectively. On January 15, 2013, a final judgment was entered by consent against Berger, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1), 206(2) and 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. Howard B. Berger, et al., Civil Action Number 2012 CV 4728, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

The Commission’s complaint in the above-noted civil injunctive action alleged that Berger controlled the trading activity in PTF and POOF and engaged in a fraudulent “cherry picking” scheme where he oftentimes allocated profitable trades for his benefit at the expense of the hedge funds he managed. The complaint alleged that for more than a year, Berger profited from fraudulently allocating profitable trades to an account in his wife’s name while oftentimes allocating his unprofitable trades to PTF and POOF accounts.

Based on the above, the Order bars Berger from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer or transfer agent. Berger consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except as to the entry of the final judgment. (Rel. IA-3548; File No. 3-15203)

In the Matter of Arturo Allan Rodriguez Lopez a/k/a Arturo Rodriguez

On February 6, 2013, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Arturo Allan Rodriguez Lopez a/k/a Arturo Rodriguez (Rodriguez). The Order finds that on August 14, 2012, a judgment was entered by consent against Rodriguez in SEC v. Juno Mother Earth Asset Management, LLC, et al. (Civil Action Number 11 Civ. 1778 (TPG) (S.D.N.Y.)), permanently enjoining Rodriguez from violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 203A, 206(1), 206(2), 206(4) and 207 of the Advisers Act of 1940, and Rules 206(4)-2 and 206(4)-8 thereunder.

The Order finds that the Commission’s complaint in SEC v. Juno Mother Earth Asset Management, LLC, et al. alleged that Rodriguez, Eugenio Verzili and Juno Mother Earth Asset Management LLC (Juno) orchestrated a multi-faceted scheme to defraud a hedge fund under their control, as well as the investors in the fund, and failed to comply with their fiduciary obligations to the hedge fund, through: (a) misappropriating approximately $1.8 million of assets from a Juno-advised hedge fund; (b) fraudulently concealing their misappropriation from the fund’s independent directors; (c) inflating and misrepresenting Juno’s assets under management by approximately $40 million; (d) filing false Forms ADV with the Commission that, among other things, failed to disclose transactions between Juno and the hedge fund; (e) concealing Juno’s precarious financial condition; and (f) misrepresenting the amount of capital certain Juno partners had invested in a Juno-advised fund.

Based on the above, the Order bars Rodriguez barred from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Rodriguez consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Commission’s Order, except that he admitted the entry of injunction. (Rel. IA-3549; File No. 3-15204)

In the Matter of Jorge Gomez

On February 6, 2013, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act), and Notice of Hearing against Jorge Gomez. The proceedings are based on a judgment of permanent injunction entered by default against Gomez in the civil action entitled Securities & Exchange Commission v. Jorge Gomez, et al., Civil Action Number 12-CV-21962-Ungaro, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The judgment permanently enjoins Gomez from future violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act and Sections 206(1) and 206(2), of the Advisers Act, and aiding and abetting violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2).

The Commission’s Complaint alleged that from 2007 through 2010, Gomez misappropriated more than $4.3 million from a single advisory client (the “Client”), who had entrusted Gomez with approximately $10.9 million to invest on his behalf. Gomez concealed his misappropriation by providing the Client with fraudulent account statements, which overstated the Client’s account value and misstated his securities transactions and holdings. Gomez also provided fraudulent certificates for fictitious securities purportedly held by the Client, and created a fake customer service hotline to field calls from the Client.

A hearing before an administrative law judge will be scheduled to determine whether the allegations in the Order are true, to provide the Respondent an opportunity to respond to these allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest. The Order directs the Administrative law Judge to issue an initial decision within 210 days from the date of service of the Orders. (Rel. IA-3550; File No. 3-15205)

Securities and Exchange Commission Institutes Administrative Proceedings Against Joseph Repko Pursuant to Rule 102(e)(3) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice

On February 6, 2013, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Public Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Rule 102(e)(3) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Imposing Temporary Suspension against Joseph J. Repko, CPA. The Order finds that on November 28, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida entered a final judgment by default against Repko that, among other things, permanently enjoined him from future violations, direct or indirect, of Section 17(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5(a) thereunder. Securities and Exchange Commission v. Joseph J. Repko, et al., Civil Action Number 0:12-cv-61079-KMW. The Commission’s complaint alleged that from April through June 2009, Repko and others engaged in a fraudulent scheme involving illicit kickbacks to induce the purchase of Sure Trace Security Corp.’s stock. Specifically, according to the complaint, Repko participated in paying illegal kickbacks to a purported trustee of an employee pension fund so the trustee would purchase 133 million restricted shares of the company’s stock. Repko and the other defendants attempted to conceal the kickbacks by entering into a sham consulting agreement between Sure Trace and a purported consulting company created to receive the kickbacks.

The Order temporarily suspends Repko from appearing or practicing before the Commission and provides that Repko may file a petition with the Commission to lift the temporary suspension. If the Commission within thirty days after service of the Order receives no petition, the suspension shall become permanent pursuant to Rule 102(e)(3)(ii). (Rel. 34-68845; AAE Rel. 3444, File No. 3-15206)

Former Investment Adviser Sentenced to 12 Years for Misappropriating Client Assets

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on January 31, 2013, the Honorable Michael M. Mihm of the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois sentenced Timothy J. Roth to 151 months (12 years and 7 months) of incarceration followed by supervised release of 3 years and ordered Roth to pay $16,151,964 in restitution to his victims. Roth, a former investment adviser associated with Comprehensive Capital Management, Inc. (“Comprehensive”), pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud and one count of money laundering in connection with his misappropriation of over $16 million worth of mutual funds from the accounts of eleven clients between 2004 and 2011. Roth, 56, of Stonington, Illinois, transferred the shares without the clients’ authorization into an account he controlled, sold them, and used the proceeds to form and support several companies he owned or controlled and to fund his own securities trading.

The criminal charges arose out of the same facts that were the subject of an emergency civil action that the SEC filed against Roth on March 21, 2011. On that same day, the Court issued an order freezing Roth’s assets and those of several companies he controlled. On March 31, 2013, the Court appointed a Receiver over Roth’s assets and those of the companies he controlled. The SEC’s complaint alleged that Roth worked for Comprehensive, a New Jersey-based registered investment adviser. The SEC’s complaint alleged that from October 2010 through February 2011, Roth stole more than $6 million worth of mutual fund shares from several deferred compensation plans (“Plans”) for whom he provided investment advice. Roth's theft of client assets was later determined to have been over $16 million. The SEC alleged that Roth, who worked out of Comprehensive’s office near Urbana, Illinois, secretly caused his victims’ mutual fund shares to be transferred to an account under his control, even though no such transfer had been requested or authorized by the clients. The SEC alleges that after selling the clients’ shares, Roth funneled the cash proceeds to various accounts and companies under his control or for his benefit. According to the SEC’s complaint, at the time he was engaging in his scheme, Roth did not tell the clients about the transfers.

As a result of his conduct, the SEC’s complaint charged Roth with violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and with aiding and abetting violations of Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and Rule 206(4)-2 thereunder. [SEC v. Timothy J. Roth, et al.: 11-cv-02079 (C.D. Ill.)] (LR-22609)

Steel Company Executives and Two Tippees Agree to Settle Insider Trading Charges

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that four steel company executives and two of their tippees have agreed to pay $639,260 to settle insider trading charges against them.

The SEC filed a civil action on March 17, 2011, against eight individuals, alleging that they traded on the basis of material, nonpublic information about the forthcoming acquisition of Steel Technologies, Inc. by Mitsui & Co. (USA). Specifically, the SEC alleged that four executives traded based on inside information and that three of them tipped others who also traded in advance of the upcoming acquisition. The six settling defendants collectively earned $268,805 from their trades.

Without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, each of the settling defendants consented to final judgments that have been entered by the court. The final judgments order: (i) Patrick M. Carroll to disgorge $34,279 plus pay prejudgment interest of $10,412 and a penalty of $34,279; (ii) James P. Carroll to disgorge $3,020 plus pay prejudgment interest of $917 and a penalty of $3,020; (iii) William T. Carroll to disgorge $54,163 plus pay prejudgment interest of $16,452 and a penalty of $54,163; (iv) David Mark Calcutt to disgorge $150,297 plus pay prejudgment interest of $45,652 and a penalty of $150,297; (v) Christopher T. Calcutt to disgorge $4,250 plus pay prejudgment interest of $1,291 and a penalty of $4,250; and (vi) David Stitt to disgorge $22,796 plus pay prejudgment interest of $6,924 and a penalty of $42,796. They are also permanently enjoined from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

The SEC’s charges against the other traders, John Monroe and Stephen Somers, remain pending.

The SEC litigation is being handled by Daniel J. Hayes and Jake Schmidt of the Chicago Regional Office. [SEC v. Patrick M. Carroll, James P. Carroll, William T. Carroll, David Mark Calcutt, Christopher Calcutt, David Stitt, John Monroe and Stephen Somers, Civil Action No. 3:11-cv-165-H] (LR-22610)

SEC Obtains Judgments Against Former Officers of Gibraltar Asset Management Group, LLC

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced that the Honorable Robert L. Wilkins, United States District Judge for the District of Columbia, entered final judgments on January 16, 2013, against three defendants to settle charges related to their collaboration in a multi-million dollar Washington-area Ponzi scheme operated through Gibraltar Asset Management Group, LLC and Garfield Taylor, Inc. (GTI). The final judgments were entered by consent in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Garfield Taylor, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:11-CV-02054-RLW, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia:

Benjamin C. Dalley, of Washington D.C., formerly Vice President of Operations at Gibraltar, without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC’s complaint, consented to the entry of a Final Judgment permanently enjoining him from aiding and abetting violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Final Judgment orders him to pay $72,500 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest and a civil penalty of $40,000.

Randolph M. Taylor, of Washington D.C., formerly Vice President for Organizational Development at Gibraltar, without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC’s complaint, consented to the entry of a Final Judgment permanently enjoining him from aiding and abetting violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Final Judgment orders him to pay $584,148.32 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, but waives payment of all but $30,000 of this amount, and does not impose a civil penalty, based upon his sworn Statement of Financial Condition. In connection with the settlements reached with Dalley and Randolph Taylor, Relief Defendant Reverb Enterprises, LLC consented to a judgment, which the Court entered on December 13, 2012, ordering it to pay $165,635 in disgorgement, representing profits gained as a result of the scheme.

William B. Mitchell, of Middle River, Md., formerly Vice President for Finance at GTI and an Executive Vice President of Strategic Planning at Gibraltar, without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC’s complaint consented to the entry of a Final Judgment permanently enjoining him from violating Section 15(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Final Judgment orders Mitchell to pay $164,131 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, but waives payment of all but $15,000 of this amount, and does not impose a civil penalty, based upon his sworn Statement of Financial Condition.

Based upon the entry of the Court’s injunction against Mitchell, on January 30, 2013, the Commission instituted settled administrative proceedings against Mitchell. Without admitting or denying the Commission’s findings, except as to his admission of the entry of the Final Judgment by the Court, Mitchell consented to the entry of the Commission’s Order, which bars him from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization; and 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.

The Commission filed a complaint on November 18, 2011, alleging that Gibraltar’s and GTI’s former Chief Executive Officer, Garfield M. Taylor, operating through GTI. and Gibraltar, with the assistance of Benjamin C. Dalley, Randolph M. Taylor, William B. Mitchell, Jeffrey A. King and Maurice G. Taylor, conducted a multi-million Ponzi scheme targeting investors in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. According to the SEC’s complaint, the defendants defrauded more than $27 million from approximately 130 investors between 2005 and 2010.

The Commission’s case is still pending against the remaining defendants: Garfield M. Taylor, Jeffrey A. King, Maurice G. Taylor, GTI, Gibraltar, and The King Group, LLC. On December 13, 2012, the Court granted the Commission’s motion for summary judgment on all charges sought by the Commission against Garfield Taylor. The Court will determine the appropriate injunctive relief, as well as the specific amount of disgorgement and penalty that Garfield Taylor will be ordered to pay, when it enters its Final Judgment against him.

SEC Charges Husband With Insider Trading in Santa Clara-Based Tech Company Based on Confidential Information From Wife

On February 6, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged a Houston man with insider trading ahead of the acquisition of Santa Clara-based National Semiconductor Corporation based on confidential details that he gleaned from his wife, a partner at a large law firm that was consulted on the deal.

The SEC alleges that James Balchan immediately bought shares of National Semiconductor stock after his wife informed him that a social event for the company’s general counsel had been cancelled because he was busy working on an imminent merger. Balchan and his wife were among the invitees to the event. Balchan made nearly $30,000 in illicit profits when he sold his shares after Texas Instruments publicly announced its acquisition of National Semiconductor and the stock price jumped more than 75 percent.

Balchan agreed to pay nearly $60,000 to settle the SEC’s charges.

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, another partner at the firm where Balchan’s wife worked began organizing informal client “wine and dine” events for the first weekend of April 2011 in honor of National Semiconductor’s general counsel. The partner was close to Balchan’s wife and socially acquainted with Balchan. The partner invited both of them to the weekend events and told them that National Semiconductor’s general counsel would be in attendance.

According to the SEC’s complaint, the partner called National Semiconductor’s general counsel a few days before the weekend and was informed that he was working on the company’s impending acquisition. The general counsel sought the law firm’s advice in dealing with certain regulatory issues arising from the deal. He also informed the partner that, in light of the acquisition, he would be unable to attend the event that coming weekend. When the law partner advised Balchan’s wife that National Semiconductor’s general counsel cancelled the client weekend because of the imminent acquisition, she shared the information with Balchan in confidence later that night in the context of discussing their weekend plans.

The SEC alleges that the very next morning, Balchan misappropriated the confidential information he learned about the acquisition and purchased 2,000 National Semiconductor shares. A few days later, Balchan purchased 1,000 shares. Texas Instruments issued a press release on April 4 announcing its acquisition of National Semiconductor. Each of Balchan’s National Semiconductor trades was based on inside information in violation of duties of trust and confidence that he owed to his wife. Balchan was aware that his wife owed a duty of trust or confidence to her law firm and its clients.

The SEC’s complaint charges Balchan with violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Balchan has settled the SEC’s charges without admitting or denying the allegations. He has agreed to the entry of a judgment enjoining him from future violations of relevant provisions of the Exchange Act, and to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest of $30,615.18, and an additional penalty equal to his profits of $29,052.39.

The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Jennifer J. Lee and Jina L. Choi of the San Francisco Regional Office. The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in this matter. [SEC v. James Balchan, Civil Action No. 4:13-cv-00298 (U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas)] (LR-22612)
