Commission announcementsCommission Suspends Trading in PacWest Equities Inc.The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced the temporary suspension, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), of trading in the securities of PacWest Equities, Inc. ("PacWest"), of Las Vegas, Nevada at 9:30 a.m. EDT on September 17, 2013, and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EDT, on September 30, 2013. The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of PacWest because of questions that have been raised about the accuracy and adequacy of publicly disseminated information concerning, among other things, the company's business operations and assets. This order was entered pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act. The Commission cautions brokers, dealers, shareholders, and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by the company. Further, brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, at the termination of the trading suspension, no quotation may be entered unless and until they have strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If any broker or dealer has any questions as to whether or not he has complied with the rule, he should not enter any quotation but immediately contact the staff in the Division of Trading and Markets, Office of Interpretation and Guidance, at (202) 551-5777. If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by Rule 15c2-11, he should refrain from entering quotations relating to PacWest's securities until such time as he has familiarized himself with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met. 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. If any broker-dealer or other person has any information which may relate to this matter, they should contact J. Lee Buck, II of the Division of Enforcement at (202) 551-4598. The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. (Rel. 34-70423) ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGSCommission Charges 23 Firms with Short Selling Violations in Crackdown on Potential Manipulation in Advance of Stock OfferingsThe Commission today announced enforcement actions against 23 firms for short selling violations as the agency increases its focus on preventing firms from improperly participating in public stock offerings after selling short those same stocks. Such violations typically result in illicit profits for the firms. The enforcement actions are being settled by 22 of the 23 firms charged, resulting in more than $14.4 million in monetary sanctions. The SEC's Rule 105 of Regulation M prohibits the short sale of an equity security during a restricted period - generally five business days before a public offering - and the purchase of that same security through the offering. The rule applies regardless of the trader's intent, and promotes offering prices that are set by natural forces of supply and demand rather than manipulative activity. The rule therefore helps prevent short selling that can reduce offering proceeds received by companies by artificially depressing the market price shortly before the company prices its public offering. The firms charged in these cases allegedly bought offered shares from an underwriter, broker, or dealer participating in a follow-on public offering after having sold short the same security during the restricted period. "The benchmark of an effective enforcement program is zero tolerance for any securities law violations, including violations that do not require manipulative intent," said Andrew J. Ceresney, Co-Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "Through this new program of streamlined investigations and resolutions of Rule 105 violations, we are sending the clear message that firms must pay the price for violations while also conserving agency resources." The SEC's National Examination Program simultaneously has issued a risk alert to highlight risks to firms from non-compliance with Rule 105. The risk alert highlights observations by SEC examiners focusing on Rule 105 compliance issues as well as corrective actions that some firms proactively have taken to remedy Rule 105 concerns. "This coordination between the enforcement and examination programs reaffirms that market participants must be in compliance with Rule 105 to preserve and protect the independent pricing mechanisms of the securities markets," said Andrew Bowden, Director of the SEC's National Exam Program. In a litigated administrative proceeding against G-2 Trading LLC, the SEC's Division of Enforcement is alleging that the firm violated Rule 105 in connection with transactions in the securities of three companies, resulting in profits of more than $13,000. The Enforcement Division is seeking full disgorgement of the trading profits, prejudgment interest, penalties, and other relief as appropriate and in the public interest. The SEC charged the following firms in this series of settled enforcement actions:
The SEC's investigations were conducted by Conway T. Dodge, Anita B. Bandy, Lauren B. Poper, Christina M. Adams, Allen A. Flood, Kevin J. Gershfeld, Wendy Kong, Mary S. Brady, Ian S. Karpel, Kimberly L. Frederick, and J. Lee Robinson. The SEC's litigation will be led by James A. Kidney. The SEC appreciates the ongoing assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. (Press Rel. 2013-182) Joseph Paul Zada Indicted for FraudThe Commission announced today that on September 4, 2013, a Grand Jury sitting in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida returned an Indictment charging Joseph Paul Zada with 21 counts of mail fraud, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of money laundering, and two counts of interstate transportation of stolen property. The Indictment also seeks forfeiture of properties obtained as a result of the alleged criminal violations. The Indictment alleges that from at least January 1998 through August 2009, Zada caused over twenty investors to invest over $20 million based on materially false statements and omissions. According to the Indictment, Zada attracted investors by projecting an image of great wealth, portraying himself as a successful businessman and investor with connections to Saudi Arabian oil ventures. He also hosted extravagant parties, drove expensive luxury vehicles, and maintained expensive homes in Wellington, Florida and Grosse Pointe, Michigan. The investors sent money to Zada with the understanding that he would use the funds to invest in various oil ventures on their behalf. The investors usually received promissory notes reflecting the principal amount of their investment. Zada deposited investors' funds into bank accounts he controlled. Instead of investing the funds in oil ventures, Zada used the money to support his lavish lifestyle and to make purported returns on investments to prior investors. The Indictment's allegations are based on the same conduct underlying the Commission's November 10, 2010 Complaint against Zada in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The Commission charged Zada with violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), 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. On July 31, 2013, the Court granted the Commission's motion for summary judgment against Zada, finding that Zada had violated the provisions alleged by the Commission in its Complaint. The Court set a hearing for October 9, 2013 on the Commission's for disgorgement and civil penalties against Zada. [U.S. v. Joseph Paul Zada, Case No. 13-80173-CV (S. Dist. Fla.)] (LR-22798) Commission Charges Purported Money Manager in New York Who Schemed Investors and Lied to SEC ExaminersThe Commission today charged the owner of a New York-based investment advisory firm with defrauding investors while grossly exaggerating the amount of assets under his management. The SEC alleges that Fredrick D. Scott registered his firm ACI Capital Group as an investment adviser and then embarked on a series of fraudulent schemes targeting individual investors and small businesses. Scott repeatedly touted ACI's registration under the securities laws and falsely claimed the firm's assets under management to be as high as $3.7 billion to bolster his credibility when offering too-good-to-be-true investment opportunities. As Scott solicited funds from investors after promising them very high rates of return, he simply stole their money almost as soon as they deposited it with ACI. Scott paid no returns to investors and illegally used their money to fund such personal expenses as his children's private school tuition, air travel and hotels, department store purchases, and several thousand dollars in dental bills. In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York today announced Scott has pleaded guilty to criminal charges. Among the charges to which Scott has pleaded guilty is making false statements to SEC examiners when they questioned whether Scott and ACI had accepted loans from investors. SEC examiners notified the agency's Enforcement Division, which began investigating and referred the matter to criminal authorities. According to the SEC's complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn, one variation of Scott's fraud was a so-called advance fee scheme - Scott promised investors that ACI would provide multi-million dollar loans to people seeking bank financing. But investors were told that they first needed to advance ACI a percentage of the loan amount, and once they did so they would receive the remaining balance of the amount that Scott promised to pay. Scott had no intention of ever returning the money, nor did he repay it. The SEC alleges that in another iteration of his fraud, Scott offered investors the opportunity to make a bridge loan to a third-party entity. The investor was told to fund one portion of the loan, and ACI would supposedly fund the remaining balance. In exchange, the investor would supposedly receive a substantial return on his initial investment. In this scheme as with each of his others, investors never received returns and Scott stole the money. The SEC's complaint charges Scott with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, Section 207 of the Investment Advisers Act for filing a false Form ADV, and aiding and abetting ACI's improper registration in violation of Section 203A of the Advisers Act. The SEC's investigation was conducted in the New York office by Sharon Binger, Adam Grace, Justin Alfano, Elzbieta Wraga, and Jordan Baker. The investigation stemmed from a referral by the SEC's examination staff including Raymond Slezak, Michael O'Donnell, Kathleen Raimondi, and Ken Fong. The SEC's litigation will be led by Alexander Vasilescu. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. [SEC v. Fredrick D. Scott, Civil Action No. 13-Cv-5113 (DLI) (E.D.N.Y.)] (LR-22799) Commission Decision as to Walter V. Gerasimowicz, Meditron Asset Management, LLC, and Meditron Management Group, LLC, is Declared FinalThe initial decision of an administrative law judge with respect to Walter V. Gerasimowicz, Meditron Asset Management, LLC ("MAM"), and Meditron Management Group, LLC ("MMG") (Respondents), has become final. The law judge found that on May 3, 2013, after Respondents' offer of settlement, the Commission issued an order (Continuation Order) that required Respondents to pay disgorgement and third-tier civil penalties. The disgorgement and penalty amounts were decided by summary disposition, pursuant to 17 C.F.R. ' 201.250. Walter V. Gerasimowicz, Admin. Proc. No. 3-15024 (A.L.J. Apr. 19, 2013). The Respondents were ordered to pay disgorgement, jointly and severally, of $3,143,029.41, plus prejudgment interest, and pay third-tier civil penalties, jointly and severally, of $1,950,000. Walter V. Gerasimowicz was the sole owner, Chairman, CEO and CCO of MAM, a registered investment adviser. He was also the sole owner of an unregistered investment adviser MMG. Respondents were found to have violated the antifraud provisions within the meaning of Section 21B(b)(3) of the Exchange Act, 203(i)(2) of the Advisers Act, and 9(d)(2) of the Investment Company Act, when they illicitly used funds obtained from investors totaling approximately $2,650,000, in order to keep solvent a private company, where Gerasimowicz served as its President and Chairman of the Board. The funds were lost and the company was bankrupted. The law judge ordered Respondents to disgorge $2,650,000, the amount of diverted funds stipulated in the Continuation Order, and $493,029.41, representing management and incentive fees retained by Respondents. The law judge also found that there were "no unique or compelling reasons" why prejudgment interest should not accrue in accordance with 17 C.F.R. ' 201.600, and so ordered Respondents to pay the prejudgment interest on the total disgorgement amount of $3,143,029.4. The law judge also found that Respondents violated the antifraud provision and that their violative actions "involved fraud [and] reckless disregard of a regulatory requirement" within the meaning of Sections 21B(b)(3) of the Exchange Act, 203(i)(2) of the Advisers Act, and 9(d)(2) of the Investment Company Act such that substantial penalties were warranted because Respondents abused the fiduciary duty owed to their advisory client. A total third-tier penalty amount of $1,950,000 was ordered against Respondents, jointly and severally. The law judge found that Gerasimowicz had not introduced any evidence to support his assertion of his inability to pay any disgorgement, interest, or penalties ordered in the proceeding. (Rel. 34-70430) Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of Five Respondents by Default for Failure to Make Required Periodic FilingsAn Administrative Law Judge has issued an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registrations by Default as to Five Respondents (Default Order) in GBS Com-Tech Corp., Admin. Proc. File No. 3-15410.
