ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGSCommission Announces Fraud Charges Against Collateral Manager of CDOThe Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) today announced charges against a Morristown, N.J.-based investment advisory firm and its owner for misleading investors in a collateralized debt obligation (CDO) and breaching their fiduciary duties. The SEC's Enforcement Division alleges that Harding Advisory LLC and Wing F. Chau compromised their independent judgment as collateral manager to a CDO named Octans I CDO Ltd. in order to accommodate trades requested by a third-party hedge fund firm whose interests were not necessarily aligned with the debt investors. Harding agreed to give the hedge fund firm rights in the process of selecting and acquiring a portfolio of subprime mortgage-backed assets to serve as collateral for debt instruments issued to investors in the CDO. These rights, which were not disclosed to investors, included the right to veto Harding's proposed selections during the "warehouse" phase that preceded issuance of the CDO's debt instruments. The influence of the hedge fund firm led Harding to select assets that its own credit analysts disfavored. "A collateral manager's independent selection of assets is an important selling point to potential CDO investors," said George S. Canellos, co-director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "Investors had a right to know that Harding and Chau had chosen to accommodate the interests of others and abandon their own obligations to act in the best interests of the CDO they advised." According to the SEC's order instituting proceedings, the hedge fund firm was Magnetar Capital LLC, which had invested in the equity of the CDO. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. structured and marketed the CDO, which closed on Sept. 26, 2006. Merrill Lynch, Magnetar, and Harding agreed in the spring of 2006 that Harding would serve as collateral manager for the CDO. Chau understood that Magnetar was interested in investing as the equity buyer in CDO transactions, and that Magnetar's strategy included "hedging" its equity positions in CDOs by betting against the debt issued by the CDOs. Because Magnetar stood to profit if the CDOs failed to perform, Chau knew that Magnetar's interests were not necessarily aligned with investors in the debt tranches of Octans I, whose investment depended solely on the CDO performing well. The SEC's Enforcement Division alleges that while assembling the collateral for Octans I, Chau and Harding allowed Magnetar an undisclosed influence over the selection process. Harding's own credit analysis of many of the selected assets was disregarded, and Magnetar's influence over the portfolio was omitted from materials used to solicit investors for the CDO. Chau and Harding misrepresented the standard of care that Harding would use in acquiring collateral for Octans I. The SEC's Enforcement Division further alleges that Harding and Chau breached their advisory obligations to several other CDOs for which they served as investment managers. As a favor to Merrill Lynch and Magnetar, Harding and Chau purchased bonds for those CDOs that Chau and Harding disfavored. In accepting the bonds, Chau wrote in an e-mail to the head of CDO syndication at Merrill Lynch, "I never forget my true friends." The SEC's Division of Enforcement alleges that by engaging in the conduct described in the SEC's order, Harding and Chau violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Chau also is charged with aiding and abetting and causing Harding's violations. The proceedings before an administrative law judge will determine what relief against Harding and Chau is in the public interest. The SEC's investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by staff in the Complex Financial Instruments Unit and the New York Regional Office, including Steven Rawlings, Brenda Chang, Elisabeth Goot, Sharon Bryant, Kapil Agrawal, Howard Fischer, Daniel Walfish, and Douglas Smith. The investigation stemmed from a referral by the New York office's Investment Adviser/Investment Company examination program including William Delmage, George DeAngelis, Luis Casais, Syed Husain, James Sawicki, and Edward Moy. The enforcement case was supervised by Reid Muoio, and the litigation will be led by Mr. Fischer, Mr. Walfish, Ms. Goot, and Ms. Chang. (Press Rel. 2013-224; Rel. 33-9467) In the Matter of Daniel J. GallagherThe Commission announced the issuance of an Amended Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Order) against Daniel James Gallagher. In the Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that from October 2009 through July 2010, Gallagher raised at least $427,000 from twelve investors through the fraudulent sale of securities of Nano Acquisition Group, LLC (NAG), an entity that Gallagher formed. The Division also alleges that notwithstanding Gallagher's oral representations to investors that their funds would be used by NAG to acquire or develop certain nanotechnology assets, and written representations to the same effect contained in NAG's offering materials, Gallagher withdrew over 90 percent of the funds raised for his personal use. The Division further alleges that Gallagher began to misappropriate investors' funds almost as soon as NAG was formed and even as he continued to raise additional money from investors. As a result of this conduct, the Division alleges, Gallagher willfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Division further alleges that on April 9, 2012, in a case entitled United States v. Gallagher, 11-CR-806 (E.D.N.Y.)(LDW), a jury convicted Gallagher of one count of securities fraud and two counts of wire fraud based on the same conduct alleged in the Order, and alleges that Gallagher was sentenced to a thirty-one month term of imprisonment, to be followed by a thirty-six month term of supervised release. A hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge to determine whether the allegations in the Order are true, to afford Gallagher an opportunity to dispute the allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest against Gallagher pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act and Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, an order requiring Gallagher to cease and desist from current and future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; and to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest pursuant to Section 21B of the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the Order, the Administrative Law Judge shall issue an initial decision no later than 300 days from the date of service of the Order. (Rel. 33-9468) Commission Alleges Yuhe International, Inc., and Its CEO Made False Statements Regarding Purported AcquisitionOn October 18, 2013, the Commission charged Yuhe International, Inc. ("Yuhe"), a China-based provider of broiler chickens, and its Chief Executive Officer, Gao Zhentao ("Gao") with fraud based on false public statements concerning an acquisition Yuhe claimed to have executed in 2009. Specifically, the complaint alleges that between approximately December 2009 and June 2011, Yuhe misled its public investors by disseminating a series of materially false statements concerning a purported acquisition of additional chicken farms for more than $15 million. In October 2010, Yuhe completed a public offering in the United States, selling more than four million shares of its common stock and generating net proceeds in excess of $27 million. The complaint alleges that, in truth, the acquisition never occurred, a fact that was admitted by Yuhe during an investor conference call in June 2011 and a subsequent filing on Form 8-K on June 23, 2011. The complaint alleges that Yuhe violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B), and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, 14a-3, and 14a-9, thereunder. The complaint further alleges that Gao violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b), 13(b)(5), and 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 10b-5, 13a-14, 13b2-1, 14a-3, and 14a-9, thereunder, and aided and abetted Yuhe's violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B), and 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, 14a-3, and 14a-9, thereunder. The Commission's complaint seeks permanent injunctions, civil penalties, disgorgement plus prejudgment interest, an officer and director bar against Gao, and other relief. [SEC v. Yuhe International, Inc., and Gao Zhentao, Civil Action No. 1:13-CV-01598-RCL, USDC DDC] (LR- 22848). In the Matter of James A. PhilbrookThe Commission announced the issuance of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Notice of Hearing (Order) against James A. Philbrook, a resident of Manchester, New Hampshire. The Order alleges that on November 2, 2012, Respondent was convicted in Maine Superior Court of one count of theft by misapplication of property and one count of violating the Maine Uniform Securities Act, in connection with misconduct that he engaged in from June 2005 to July 2006, while associated with The O.N. Equity Sales Company, a broker-dealer registered with the Commission. According to the Order, the counts of the criminal indictment pursuant to which Respondent was convicted alleged, among other things, that he obtained money from two individuals, misrepresented that he intended to make investments on their behalf in a pay-per-view television event and a college-funding business venture, and diverted their money for his own personal use. The Order further alleges that Respondent was sentenced to a prison term of eight years with all but three years suspended, ordered placed on probation for three years upon completion of his unsuspended term of imprisonment, and ordered to make restitution in the amount of $195,000. A hearing will be held by an Administrative Law Judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the Order are true, to afford the Respondent an opportunity to establish any defenses to such allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest. The Order requires an Administrative Law Judge to issue an initial decision no later than 210 days from the date of service of the Order, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules of Practice.
