Commission Announcements

Diamondback Capital Agrees to Settle SEC Insider Trading Charges

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Diamondback Capital Management LLC has agreed to pay more than $9 million to settle insider-trading charges brought by the Commission on Jan. 18.  The proposed settlement is subject to the approval of Judge Paul G. Gardephe of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.  As part of the proposed settlement, the Stamford, Conn.-based hedge fund adviser also has submitted a statement of facts to the SEC and federal prosecutors, and entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

Under the proposed settlement, Diamondback will give up more than $6 million of allegedly ill-gotten gains and pay a $3 million civil penalty. In addition, Diamondback consented to a judgment that permanently enjoins it from future violations of federal anti-fraud laws.  The proposed settlement would resolve charges of insider trading by Diamondback in shares of Dell Inc. and Nvidia Corp. in 2008 and 2009.

“We are pleased to have reached a prompt resolution of the charges against Diamondback,” said George S. Canellos, Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office.  “If approved by the court, we believe that the proposed settlement appropriately sanctions the misconduct while giving due credit to Diamondback for its substantial assistance in the government’s investigation and the pending actions against former employees and their co-defendants.”

Last week, the SEC filed insider-trading charges against Diamondback, a second hedge fund advisory firm, and seven individuals, including a former Diamondback analyst and former Diamondback portfolio manager.  In reaching the proposed settlement announced today, the SEC considered the substantial cooperation that Diamondback provided, including conducting extensive interviews of staff, reviewing voluminous communications, analyzing complex trading patterns to determine suspicious trading activity, and presenting the results of its internal investigation to federal investigators.

ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of E-Smart Technologies Inc. For Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

On January 23, 2012, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of e-Smart Technologies Inc. (e-Smart) for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission.

Without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except as to jurisdiction, which it admitted, e-Smart consented to the entry of an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registration of Securities Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to e-Smart finding that it had failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder and revoking the registration of each class of e-Smart’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. This Order settled the proceedings brought against e-Smart in In the Matter of e-Smart Technologies, Inc., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14703.

Brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that Exchange Act Section 12(j) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

No member of a national securities exchange, broker, or dealer shall make use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce to effect any transaction in, or to induce the purchase or sale of, any security the registration of which has been and is suspended or revoked . . . .

For more information see Order Making Findings and Revoking Registration of Securities Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to e-Smart Technologies, Inc., In the Matter of e-Smart Technologies, Inc., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14703, Exchange Act Release No. 66191 (January 19, 2012). (Rel. 34-66211; File No. 3-14703)

In the Matter of 1st Discount Brokerage, Inc. and Michael R. Fisher

On January 23, 2012, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 203(e) and 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Censure Order as to 1st Discount Brokerage, Inc. (1DB), and Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions as to Michael R. Fisher (Fisher).

The Order finds that from 2002 to 2008, Michael J. Park (Park), a registered representative associated with 1DB, operated a Ponzi scheme which defrauded more than 50 investors out of nearly $9 million. The Order further finds that 1DB and Fisher failed reasonably to supervise Park with a view to preventing and detecting his violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

Specifically, the Order finds that 1DB did not have policies and procedures reasonably designed to detect and prevent violations of the securities laws by registered representatives like Park. Had 1DB had such reasonable policies and procedures, it would have likely uncovered Park’s fraud. Furthermore, had 1DB had reasonable policies and procedures in the review of the “doing business as” business accounts of its registered representatives, it is likely that 1DB would have observed a substantial influx of money from 1DB’s existing customers into Park’s business account, through which he conducted his Ponzi scheme. In addition, 1DB had no policy requiring compliance auditors who were conducting audits to review the work papers and reports of previous compliance audits. As a result, auditors were unable to identify Park’s repeated failure to display signage showing his affiliation with 1DB. Park failed to display 1DB signage to conceal from his customers his association with 1DB for fear that they would alert the firm to his suspicious investment scheme. 1DB also failed to conduct unannounced audits in the Nashville office as specifically required in the firm’s procedures. Had 1DB implemented a system to follow its own procedure of conducting unannounced audits in the Nashville office, it is likely that 1DB would have found evidence of Park’s Ponzi scheme.

The Order further finds that from 2004 to 2008, Fisher was delegated the responsibility to oversee 1DB’s Heightened Supervision Committee (HSC). Pursuant to 1DB’s compliance and sales management manuals, the HSC is a part of 1DB’s supervisory structure. As the designated head of the HSC, Fisher was responsible for having a system to implement the firm’s policies and procedures regarding the periodic review of all activities of 1DB’s registered representatives. Had 1DB, through Fisher, developed such a system for periodic reviews of the activities of all of 1DB’s registered representatives, the HSC would have reviewed Park’s activities and would have found several red flags, including inadequate or missing signage that required Park to disclose his association with 1DB, a customer complaint of unauthorized trading, and declining commissions. As a result of Fisher’s failure to implement the firm’s policies and procedures regarding the periodic review of all activities of 1DB’s registered representatives, Fisher failed reasonably to supervise Park with a view to preventing and detecting his violative conduct.

Based on the above, and the findings within the Order that 1DB and Fisher failed reasonably to supervise Park with a view to preventing and detecting his violations of the federal securities laws, the Commission censured 1DB and imposed a civil penalty of $40,000 against it and suspended Fisher from acting in a supervisory capacity for any broker or dealer or investment adviser for nine months and imposed a civil penalty of $10,000 against him.
