Commission AnnouncementsSuspension of Trading in the Matter of Southern USA Resources, Inc.The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced the issuance of an Order of Suspension of Trading (Order) in the Matter of Southern USA Resources, Inc. (Southern USA). The Order finds that there appears to be a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of Southern USA (ticker symbol SUSA) because of questions that have been raised about the accuracy of assertions by Southern USA Resources, and by others, in press releases and other public statements to investors, and in promotional mailers, concerning, among other things: (i) the company’s operations; and (ii) the company’s outstanding shares. Pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act, the Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of Southern USA for the period from 9:30 a.m. EST, on March 1, 2013, through 11:59 p.m. EDT on March 14, 2013. (Rel. 34-69010) Steven Harris and Jay Hanson Reappointed to PCAOBThe Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Public Company Accounting Oversight Board members Steven B. Harris and Jay D. Hanson have been reappointed for five-year terms. The PCAOB, established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, oversees the audits of the financial statements of public companies and broker-dealers through registration, standard setting, inspection, and disciplinary programs. The Commission selects members and the chair of the PCAOB after consultation with the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Board. “I’m pleased to join my fellow commissioners in reappointing Steve and Jay to serve as PCAOB board members, and I look forward to their continued service in a second term,” said SEC Chairman Elisse B. Walter. “Steve has provided important institutional continuity as the longest-serving Board member who played a key role in helping to shape the law that created the PCAOB. Jay’s depth of expertise in auditing issues from his more than 30 years of prior private practice already has been an invaluable contribution to the Board’s efforts.” SEC Chief Accountant Paul Beswick added, “The Board has a number of important initiatives underway as it embarks on its second decade of overseeing auditors of companies subject to the securities laws. We are very pleased to be able to continue to work with Steve, Jay, and the rest of the Board on these initiatives.” Mr. Harris was appointed to the PCAOB in 2008. He was previously Senior Vice President and Special Counsel for APCO Worldwide, where he advised clients on matters relating to financial transactions, corporate governance, crisis management, investigations, foreign investment, trade promotion, and government affairs. For more than 15 years, Mr. Harris served as a Staff Director and Chief Counsel of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. He also served as a Staff Director and Chief Counsel to the Securities Subcommittee. He worked on all of the legislation, investigations, and oversight conducted by the committee from 1981 to 2007. Mr. Harris was a counsel to Senator Donald W. Riegle, Jr. from 1979 to 1981, and served as a counsel to Congresswoman Barbara Jordan and as a representative to the National Commission for the Review of Antitrust Laws and Procedures from 1978 to 1979. He graduated with honors from Dartmouth College and earned an LL.B. from George Washington University. Mr. Hanson was appointed to the PCAOB in 2011. He previously spent nearly 32 years at McGladrey & Pullen LLP, where he worked with a variety of clients ranging from small nonprofit organizations to large multi-national public companies. Mr. Hanson served as the National Director of Accounting, overseeing the firm’s accounting guidance and training practices, as well as leader of the firm’s Accounting Standards Group. He served as a member of the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) from 2006 to 2011. He also was a member of the Financial Reporting Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) from 2005 to 2011, serving as chairman for the final three years of his tenure. Mr. Hanson is a certified public accountant licensed to practice in his home state of Minnesota. He graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., with a B.A. in Business Administration, Accounting and Mathematics. Mr. Harris is reappointed to a second term ending Oct. 24, 2017, and Mr. Hanson is reappointed to a second term ending Oct. 24, 2018. (Press Rel. 2013-31) SEC Seeks Information to Assess Standards of Conduct and Other Obligations of Broker-Dealers and Investment AdvisersThe Securities and Exchange Commission today published a request for data and other information to assist the agency in considering whether to make new rules about the standards of conduct and regulatory obligations for broker-dealers and investment advisers when they provide personalized investment advice about securities to retail customers. “Studies have shown that few investors realize that the standard of care they receive depends on the type of investment professional they use. And often investors do not know which type of financial professional they are relying on,” said SEC Chairman Elisse B. Walter. “This request for information will help us in our ongoing consideration of alternative standards of conduct for certain broker-dealers and investment advisers, as well as potential harmonization of other aspects of regulation in this area.” Specifically, the SEC is requesting data and other information from the public and interested parties about the benefits and costs of the current standards of conduct for broker-dealers and investment advisers when providing advice to retail customers, as well as alternative approaches to the standards of conduct. While the SEC is particularly interested in receiving empirical and quantitative data and other information, all interested parties are encouraged to submit comments, including qualitative and descriptive analysis of the benefits and costs of potential approaches and guidance. The SEC recognizes that retail investors are unlikely to have significant empirical and quantitative information, and welcomes any information they would like to provide. Commenters should only submit information that they wish to make publicly available. The public comment period will remain open for 120 days following publication of the request for data and other information in the Federal Register. (Press Rel. 2013-32) Enforcement ProceedingsIn the Matter of Ward OnsaOn March 1, 2013, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Notice of Hearing against Ward Onsa. In the Order, the Division of Enforcement alleges that Onsa pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud in violation of Title 15 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b) and 78ff, before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, in United States of America v. Onsa, Case Number 10-CR-730. In his guilty plea, Onsa admitted that he formed New Century Hedge Fund Partners I, L.P., (the Fund) in or about May 2004 and told investors in the Fund that he would purchase securities consistent with a “bearish” view of the stock markets and he guaranteed Fund investors a 25 percent annual return on capital. Onsa also admitted that contrary to representations he made to investors, his trading in the Fund was not successful and when the Fund became insolvent, he continued to solicit investors and used new investor money to pay redemptions in Ponzi-like fashion. According to the guilty plea, Onsa also fraudulently inflated account balances communicated to investors. A hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge to determine whether the allegations in the Order are true, to provide Onsa with an opportunity to respond to these allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest. The Order directed the Administrative Law Judge to issue an initial decision within 210 days from the date of service of the Order. (Rel. IA-3559; File No. 3-15221) In the Matter of Nicholas DelbroccoOn March 1, 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 Nicholas Delbrocco. The Order finds that on October 18, 2012 Delbrocco pled guilty to one count of bribing an officer of an employee benefit plan and one count of conspiring to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1954 and 1349, in a criminal action entitled United States v. Nicholas Delbrocco, Case No. 1:12-CR-00448-SL in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Delbrocco, a resident of North Kingstown, Rhode Island, was associated with the registered investment advisers New England Asset Management, LLC (NEAM) and Ocean State Asset Management, LLC (OSAM). In connection with his guilty plea, Delbrocco admitted that, inter alia, between 2005 and 2011 he provided airline tickets, frequent flyer miles, theater tickets, rental vehicles, hotel rooms, meals, sporting event tickets, and firearms to a high-ranking union official and his associates in order to obtain and maintain investment management business for NEAM and OSAM. Delbrocco’s sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled. Based on the above, the Order bars Delbrocco from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Delbrocco consented to the issuance of the Order. (Rel. IA-3560; File No. 3-15222) In the Matter of Wendell A. JacobsonOn March 1, 2013 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 Wendell A. Jacobson (Jacobson). The Order finds that on December 18, 2012 a Final Judgment was entered by consent against Jacobson, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Management Solutions, Inc., et al., Civil Action Number 2:11-CV-1165, in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. Jacobson consented to the entry of the Final Judgment in the civil action. The Commission’s complaint alleged that, in connection with the sale of membership interests in limited liability companies, Jacobson misused and misappropriated investor funds and failed to disclose to investors that their funds would be pooled with other investor funds that, after commingling and pooling investor funds, Jacobson would redirect in order to pay operating expenses of the numerous entities and promised returns to earlier investors. The complaint also alleged that Jacobson sold unregistered securities and acted as an unregistered broker or dealer. Based on the above, the Order bars Jacobson from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Additionally, the Order bars Jacobson 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. Jacobson consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except he admitted to the entry of the injunction. (Rel. 34-69014; File No. 3-15223) In the Matter of Allen R. JacobsonOn March 1, 2013 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 Allen R. Jacobson (Jacobson). The Order finds that on December 18, 2012 a Final Judgment was entered by consent against Jacobson, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Management Solutions, Inc., et al., Civil Action Number 2:11-CV-1165, in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. Jacobson consented to the entry of the Final Judgment in the civil action. The Commission’s complaint alleged that, in connection with the sale of membership interests in limited liability companies, Jacobson misused and misappropriated investor funds and failed to disclose to investors that their funds would be pooled with other investor funds that, after commingling and pooling investor funds, Jacobson would redirect in order to pay operating expenses of the numerous entities and promised returns to earlier investors.

Based on the above, the Order bars Jacobson from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Additionally, the Order bars Jacobson 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. Jacobson consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except he admitted to the entry of the injunction. (Rel. 34-69015; File No. 3-15224) Commission Declares Decision as to Omar Ali Rizvi FinalThe Commission has declared final the initial decision of an administrative law judge barring Omar Ali Rizvi from associating with an investment adviser, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, and nationally recognized statistical rating organization and from participating in a penny stock offering. The initial decision found that on July 24, 2012, Rizvi was permanently enjoined by a federal district court from violating Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The court also ordered Rizvi along with other defendants to disgorge jointly and severally $1,815,885 plus prejudgment interest of $786,571.06. SEC v. Rizvi, No. 8:10-cv-01632-JVS-FFM (Judgment). Rizvi, a resident of California, was the managing director of a California LLC that he had formed in 2002, as a business development and management consulting company. He also incorporated in 2002 an unregistered investment adviser in Maryland with its principal place of business in California. Rizvi assembled a team of unregistered brokers who used a script to contact potential investors through the use of cold calling in order to promote pre-IPO investment opportunities to raise money for his unregistered investment adviser. The unregistered securities offerings raised $1,973,385 from 172 investors. The law judge found that it was necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors to limit Rizvi's participation in the securities industry to the maximum extent possible. (Rel. 34-69019; IA-3561; File No. 3-14984) Commission Dismisses Appeal Filed By Julio C. CeballosThe Commission has dismissed an application for review of FINRA disciplinary action filed by Julio C. Ceballos. In March 2010, FINRA barred Ceballos from association with any FINRA member in any capacity because he failed to provide FINRA with information it had requested pursuant to FINRA Rule 8210. The Commission dismissed the appeal because Ceballos failed to file a timely application for review and exhaust his administrative remedies before FINRA. (Rel. 34-69020; File No. 3-15086) SEC Charges Bay Area Real Estate Fund Managers With $85 Million FraudOn February 28, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged three Bay Area real estate fund managers with fraud for secretly using the assets of a new real estate fund to rescue an older, rapidly collapsing fund. The SEC alleges that Walter Ng, his son Kelly Ng, and Bruce Horwitz lured investors into their real estate fund called Mortgage Fund ‘08 LLC (MF08) by claiming it was safe and secure and would replicate the success of their earlier real estate fund, R.E. Loans LLC. In reality, R.E. Loans could no longer make payouts to its investors, so the Ngs funneled millions of dollars from MF08 to prop up R.E. Loans. The Ngs and Horwitz falsely touted both funds’ performance in their effort to continue raising money. They raised more than $85 million during an 18-month period from investors primarily living in the San Francisco area. According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Oakland, the Ngs and Horwitz promoted the MF08 fund in the midst of the 2008 financial crisis as a new opportunity to invest in conservatively underwritten commercial real estate loans secured by deeds of trust. But the Ngs and their advisory firm, The Mortgage Fund LLC, immediately began transferring money raised by MF08 to R.E. Loans so that they could afford distributions to investors in that fund. From December 2007 to March 2008, the Ngs transferred almost $39 million from MF08 to R.E. Loans. They later attempted to justify the transfers by claiming MF08 had purchased three loans from R.E. Loans that totaled around $39 million. The SEC further alleges that both the Ngs and Horwitz lured investors into MF08 by making false claims about its performance and the R.E. Loans fund’s performance. What investors did not know was that both R.E. Loans and MF08 began to experience significant and dramatic borrower defaults in 2008. For example, the percentage of the R.E. Loans portfolio that was either delinquent or in default increased from 19 percent in January 2008 to 48 percent in August 2008. The percentage of the MF08 portfolio that was delinquent increased from 16 percent in March 2008 to 74 percent in mid-June 2008. The SEC alleges that despite the funds’ rapidly disintegrating portfolios, the Ngs and Horwitz repeatedly assured investors that R.E. Loans and MF08 were performing well and the underlying loans were safe and secure. For example, both Walter Ng and Horwitz touted the funds’ purportedly positive performance at a June 2008 investor dinner in Oakland’s Chinatown. Additionally, Walter Ng and Kelly Ng in July 2008 characterized MF08 as a “fantastic success” even though more than 70 percent of its loan portfolio was delinquent by that time. The SEC’s complaint charges Walter Ng, Kelly Ng, Bruce Horwitz, and The Mortgage Fund with violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws, and seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement of wrongful profits, and financial penalties. [SEC v. Walter Ng, Kelly Ng, Bruce Horwitz, and The Mortgage Fund, LLC, C-13 0895-NC (U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California)] (LR-22628) Former Officer of Massachusetts-Based LocatePlus Holdings Corporation Sentenced to 60 Months’ Imprisonment for Securities FraudThe Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced today that, on February 26, 2013, the Honorable Douglas P. Woodlock of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts sentenced James C. Fields of Brookline, Massachusetts, to 60 months imprisonment, to be followed by three years of supervised release, and the payment of restitution to be determined at a later hearing. Fields is the former chief financial officer and former chief executive officer of LocatePlus Holdings Corporation, a Massachusetts-based information technology company that sold on-line access to public record databases for investigative searches. Fields was found guilty after a jury trial and was sentenced on 28 criminal charges including securities fraud, false statements to company auditors, false statements and false certifications in SEC filings. On November 10, 2010, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts charged Fields and former LocatePlus chief executive officer Jon Latorella with conspiracy to commit securities fraud for their role in a scheme to fraudulently inflate revenue at LocatePlus as well as a scheme to manipulate the stock of another company. On the same date, the Commission amended a previously-filed civil injunctive action against LocatePlus arising out of the same conduct, to add both Fields and Latorella as defendants. The Commission’s civil injunctive action, which is still pending, has been stayed until the conclusion of the criminal cases against Fields and Latorella. [U.S. v. Jon Latorella and James Fields, No. 1:10-CR-1038- DPW (D. Mass); SEC v. LocatePlus Holdings Corporation, Jon Latorella and James Fields, No. 1:10-CV-11751-DPW (D. Mass.)] (LR-22629) Commission Charges Falcon Ridge Development, Inc. and its President and CEO for Market Manipulation SchemeThe Commission announced that, on March 1, 2013, it charged Falcon Ridge Development, Inc. (“Falcon Ridge”) and its President and CEO, Fred M. Montano, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, with engaging in a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the market for Falcon Ridge’s common stock. Falcon Ridge is a New Mexico real estate company, headquartered in Albuquerque. The United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania separately announced criminal charges involving the same conduct. The Commission’s action, filed in federal district court in Philadelphia, alleges that, from at least August through November 2008, Montano, who claimed to control Falcon Ridge’s common stock, arranged with an individual (the Cooperator) he believed had connections to corrupt registered representatives to generate purchases of the company’s stock in exchange for cash kickbacks. In reality, the Cooperator was, at all times, secretly cooperating with the FBI. The Commission alleges that, in furtherance of the scheme, Montano paid $1,000 to orchestrate the purchase of 625,000 shares of Falcon Ridge common stock by the Cooperator, in part, through a matched trade designed by Montano to ensure that he received proceeds from the purchases. In addition, Montano shared nonpublic news releases and a confidential shareholder list with the Cooperator, and coordinated the release of news with the illegal purchases in the stock. The complaint further alleges that Montano engaged in several telephone conversations with the Cooperator in which Montano described his intent and confirmed his involvement in the manipulation. Through these activities, Montano created artificial trading activity, injected artificial information into the marketplace, and created a false impression of supply and demand for Falcon Ridge’s stock. The complaint alleges violations of Section 17(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder against Falcon Ridge and Montano. The complaint seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, together with prejudgment interest, and civil penalties against both defendants, and penny stock and officer and director bars against Montano. The Commission acknowledges and appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in connection with this matter.
