ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

SEC Charges Sigma Capital Portfolio Manager With Insider Trading

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Michael Steinberg, a portfolio manager at New York-based hedge fund advisory firm Sigma Capital Management, with trading on inside information ahead of quarterly earnings announcements by Dell and Nvidia Corporation. 

The SEC alleges that Steinberg’s illegal conduct enabled hedge funds managed by Sigma Capital and its affiliate S.A.C. Capital Advisors to generate more than $6 million in profits and avoided losses.  Steinberg received illegal tips from Jon Horvath, an analyst who reported to him at Sigma Capital.  Horvath was charged last year among several hedge fund managers and analysts as part of the SEC’s broader investigation into expert networks and the trading activities of hedge funds.  Earlier this month, Sigma Capital and two affiliated hedge funds agreed to a $14 million settlement with the SEC for insider trading charges.

“Steinberg essentially got an advance copy of Dell and Nvidia’s quarterly earnings announcements, allowing him to trade on tomorrow’s news today,” said George S. Canellos, Acting Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. 

Sanjay Wadhwa, Senior Associate Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office, added, “The SEC’s aggressive pursuit of hedge fund insider trading, including this enforcement action against Steinberg, underscores its steadfast commitment to leveling the playing field for all investors by rooting out illicit conduct by well-capitalized traders.”

In a separate action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York today announced criminal charges against Steinberg.

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, Steinberg traded Dell and Nvidia securities based on nonpublic information in advance of at least four quarterly earnings announcements in 2008 and 2009.  Horvath provided Steinberg with nonpublic details that he had obtained through a group of hedge fund analysts with whom he regularly communicated.  Steinberg used the inside information to obtain more than $3 million in profits and losses avoided for a Sigma Capital hedge fund.

The SEC’s complaint further alleges that Steinberg also illegally tipped inside information about Dell’s quarterly earnings to another portfolio manager at Sigma Capital.  Horvath sent an e-mail to the other portfolio manager and copied Steinberg on the message. The e-mail stated:

“I have a 2nd hand read from someone at the company – this is 3rd quarter I have gotten this read from them and it has been very good in the last quarters.  They are seeing GMs miss by 50-80 [basis points] due to poor mix, [operating expenses] in-line and a little revenue upside netting out to an [earnings per share] miss. . . . Please keep to yourself as obviously not well known.” 

The SEC alleges that two minutes later, Steinberg chimed in, “Yes, normally we would never divulge data like this, so please be discreet.”  Only 24 minutes after Horvath’s e-mail, the other portfolio manager began to sell shares of Dell stock on behalf of the Sigma Capital hedge fund and reduced the hedge fund’s Dell holdings by 600,000 shares ahead of Dell’s quarterly earnings announcement.  In the days following the negative announcement, Steinberg closed out a short position in Dell stock and multiple options positions for a $1 million illicit profit to the Sigma Capital hedge fund.  The other portfolio manager’s sales of Dell stock enabled the Sigma Capital hedge fund and a hedge fund managed by S.A.C. Capital Advisors to avoid more than $3 million in losses.

The SEC’s complaint charges Steinberg with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5.  The complaint seeks a final judgment ordering Steinberg to pay disgorgement of his ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest and financial penalties, and permanently enjoining him from future violations of these provisions of the federal securities laws.

The SEC’s investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by Joseph Sansone, Daniel Marcus, and Stephen Larson of the Market Abuse Unit in New York as well as Matthew Watkins, Justin Smith, Neil Hendelman, Diego Brucculeri, and James D’Avino of the New York Regional Office.  The case has been supervised by Sanjay Wadhwa.  The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  (Press Rel. 2013-49)

Foreign Traders Agree to Pay $3.3 Million to Settle Charges in Nexen Insider Trading Case

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that a Chinese businessman and his wife whose trading accounts were frozen last year as part of a major insider trading case have agreed to settle charges that they loaded up on the securities of Nexen Inc. while in possession of nonpublic information about an impending announcement that the company was being acquired by China-based CNOOC Ltd. 

The SEC obtained an emergency court order in July 2012 to freeze multiple Hong Kong and Singapore-based trading accounts just days after the Nexen acquisition was announced and suspicious trading in Nexen stock was detected.  The SEC’s complaint alleged that in the days leading up to the announcement, Hong Kong-based firm Well Advantage Limited and other unknown traders purchased Nexen stock based on confidential details about the acquisition.  

The SEC’s investigation has identified Ren Feng and his wife Zeng Huiyu as previously unknown traders charged in the complaint as well as Ren’s private investment company CT Prime Assets Limited and four of Zeng’s brokerage customers on whose behalf she traded.  They made a combined $2.3 million in illegal profits from Nexen stock trades made by Ren and Zeng.

The settlement, which is subject to court approval, requires the traders to pay more than $3.3 million combined.

“This settlement requires full disgorgement of the insider trading profits of this group of foreign traders, and Ren and Zeng must additionally pay sizeable penalties,” said Sanjay Wadhwa, Senior Associate Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office.  “This should send a stern warning to anyone contemplating insider trading in U.S. markets from abroad that the SEC uncovers such misconduct and the end result is a severe financial setback rather than a windfall.”

In October 2012, the SEC announced a settlement with Well Advantage, which agreed to pay more than $14.2 million to settle the insider trading charges.  U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Sullivan of the Southern District of New York approved that settlement. 

This proposed settlement with Ren, Zeng, and the others also must be approved by Judge Sullivan. 

Ren and CT Prime agreed to the entry of a final judgment requiring them to jointly pay disgorgement of their ill-gotten gains of $839,714.57 plus a penalty of $839,714.57, and permanently enjoining them from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5.

Zeng agreed to the entry of a final judgment requiring her to pay disgorgement of her ill-gotten gains of $202,030.22 plus a penalty of $202,030.22, and permanently enjoining her from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5.

Zeng also traded on behalf of four of her brokerage customers, who have agreed to disgorgement of the ill-gotten gains.  Wong Chi Yu and her company Giant East Investments Limited agreed to jointly pay disgorgement of $641,057.94.  Wang Wei agreed to pay disgorgement of $137,369.56.  Wang Zhi Hua agreed to pay disgorgement of $466,169.15. 

The defendants neither admit nor deny the SEC’s allegations.

The SEC’s investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by Simona Suh, Charles D. Riely, Michael P. Holland, and Joseph G. Sansone of the Market Abuse Unit as well as Elzbieta Wraga and Aaron Arnzen of the New York Regional Office.  The case has been supervised by Daniel M. Hawke and Sanjay Wadhwa.  The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).  (Press Rel. 2013-50)

“Bob” Hancher Sentenced to Over 8 Years in Prison and Ordered to Pay Restitution of Over $ 3.1 Million

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that on March 27, 2013, in a criminal action brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa, the Honorable Mark W. Bennett sentenced Lowell Gene “Bob” Hancher to 97 months in prison on one count of wire fraud and one count of securities and commodities fraud and ordered Hancher to pay $3,139,232 in restitution to his victims.  Judge Bennett also ordered Hancher to be placed on five years of supervised released following the completion of his prison sentence.  [USA v. Lowell Gene Hancher (a/k/a “Bob” Hancher), Case No. 12-CR-4090, USDC, N.D. Iowa]. 

The $3.1 million restitution amount includes funds that Hancher stole from investors in a fraudulent stock offering he led on behalf of Scott Contracting, Inc., a Colorado construction company, and funds that Hancher misappropriated from Cycle Country Accessories Corporation, an Iowa manufacturer of accessories for all-terrain vehicles and golf carts, while serving as a member of Cycle Country’s board of directors and audit committee. 

In January 2011, the SEC filed a civil injunctive action against Hancher for defrauding the Scott Contracting investors, misappropriating funds from Cycle Country and engaging in a manipulative stock trading scheme involving shares of a third company.  On January 19, 2011, Judge Bennett in the Northern District of Iowa entered an order permanently enjoining Hancher from violating or aiding and abetting violations of the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the antifraud and books and records provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and ordering him to pay disgorgement plus prejudgment interest of $2,988,405 and a civil penalty of $130,000.  Hancher consented to the entry of the order which also barred him from serving as an officer or director of a public company or participating in a penny stock offering.  On May 18, 2011, the SEC also barred Hancher from associating with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent or nationally recognized statistical rating organization.  [SEC v. Lowell Gene “Bob” Hancher, et al., Case No. 11-CV-04005, USDC, N.D. Iowa] (LR-22661)
