Securities and Exchange Commission Suspends Trading in the Securities of Six Issuers For Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced the temporary suspension of trading in the securities of the following issuers, commencing at 9:30 a.m. EDT on May 24, 2012 and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 7, 2012.

  • Quintek Technologies, Inc. (QTEK)
  • The Saint James Co. (STJC)
  • Urigen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (URGP)
  • Valor Energy Corp. (VLEN)
  • Wherify Wireless, Inc. (WFYW)
  • WinWin Gaming, Inc. (WNWN)

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of these six issuers due to a lack of current and accurate information about the companies because they have not filed periodic reports with the Commission in over two years. This order was entered pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 these companies.

Brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11, at the termination of the trading suspensions, no quotation may be entered relating to the securities of the subject companies unless and until the broker or dealer has strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by the rule, it should refrain from entering quotations relating to the securities of these companies that have been subject to a trading suspension until such time as it has familiarized itself with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met. Any broker or dealer with questions regarding the rule should contact the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, DC at (202) 551-5720. 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 immediately communicate it to the Delinquent Filings Group of the Division of Enforcement at (202) 551-5466, or by e-mail at DelinquentFilings@sec.gov. (Rel. 34-67050)

SEC Charges Northern California Fund Manager in $60 Million Scheme

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged an investment adviser in Scotts Valley, Calif., with running a $60 million investment fund like a Ponzi scheme and defrauding investors by touting imaginary trading profits instead of reporting the actual trading losses he incurred.

The SEC alleges that John A. Geringer, who managed the GLR Growth Fund, used false and misleading marketing materials to lure investors into believing that the fund was earning double-digit annual returns by investing 75 percent of its assets in investments tied to major stock indices.  In reality, Geringer’s trading generated consistent losses and he eventually stopped trading entirely.  To mask his fraud, Geringer paid millions of dollars in “returns” to investors largely by using money received from newer investors.  He also sent investors periodic account statements showing fictitious growth in their investments.

 “Geringer painted the picture of a successful fund weathering America’s financial crisis through a diversified, conservative investment strategy,” said Marc Fagel, Director of the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office.  “The reality, however, was the complete opposite.  Geringer lost millions of dollars in the market, tied up remaining investor funds in a pair of illiquid private companies, and lied about it in phony account statements.”

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in San Jose, Geringer raised more than $60 million since 2005, mostly from investors in the Santa Cruz area.  Geringer used fraudulent marketing materials claiming that the fund had between 17 and 25 percent annual returns in every year of the fund’s operation through investments tied to well-known stock indices like the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow Jones.  Although the fund was started in 2003, marketing materials claimed 25 percent returns in 2001 and 2002 – before the fund even existed.  The marketing materials also falsely indicated a nearly 24 percent return in 2008 from investing mainly in publicly-traded securities, options, and commodities, while the S&P 500 Index lost 38.5 percent.

The SEC alleges that Geringer’s actual securities trading was unsuccessful, and by mid-2009 the fund did not invest in publicly-traded securities at all.  Instead, the fund invested heavily in illiquid investments in two private startup technology companies.  The rest of the money was paid to investors in Ponzi-like fashion and to three entities Geringer controlled that also are charged in the SEC’s complaint.

According to the SEC’s complaint, Geringer further lied to investors on account statements that falsely claimed “MEMBER NASD AND SEC APPROVED.”  The SEC does not “approve” funds or investments in funds, nor was the fund (or any related entity) a member of the NASD (now called the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority – FINRA).  Geringer also falsely claimed that the fund’s financial statements were audited annually by an independent accountant.  No such audits were performed.    

The SEC’s complaint alleges Geringer and three related entities violated or aided and abetted violations of the antifraud provisions of the securities laws as well as a statute barring people from claiming that the SEC has passed on the merits of a particular investment.  The SEC seeks financial penalties, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, preliminary and permanent injunctions, and other relief.  Geringer, the fund, and two of the related entities consented to the entry of a preliminary injunction and a freeze on the fund’s bank account.

The SEC’s investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by Robert J. Durham and Robert S. Leach of the San Francisco Regional Office.  The SEC’s litigation will be led by Sheila O’Callaghan of the San Francisco Regional Office.

The SEC thanks the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and FINRA for their assistance in this matter. (Press Rel. 2012-101; LR-22375)

ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

Commission Orders Hearings on Registration Suspension or Revocation Against Six Companies for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

In conjunction with these trading suspensions, the Commission today also instituted public administrative proceedings to determine whether to revoke or suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months the registration of each class of the securities of six companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:

  • Quintek Technologies, Inc. (QTEK)
  • The Saint James Co. (STJC)
  • Urigen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (URGP)
  • Valor Energy Corp. (VLEN)
  • Wherify Wireless, Inc. (WFYW)
  • WinWin Gaming, Inc. (WNWN)

In this Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that the respective Respondents are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission.

In these proceedings, instituted pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(j), a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At the hearing, the judge will hear evidence from the Division and the Respondents to determine whether the allegations of the Division contained in the Order, which the Division alleges constitute failures to comply with Exchange Act Section 13(a) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder, are true. The judge in the proceedings will then determine whether the registrations pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 of each class of the securities of these Respondents should be revoked or suspended for a period not exceeding twelve months. The Commission ordered that the Administrative Law Judge in the proceedings issue an initial decision not later than 120 days from the date of service of the order instituting proceedings. (Rel. 34-67051; File No. 3-14890)

Investment Adviser Sanctioned

Investment adviser Koch Asset Management LLC (KAM) and its owner, Donald L. Koch (Koch), have been sanctioned following a hearing before an administrative law judge. They were ordered to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions of the securities laws, to disgorge ill-gotten gains of $4,169.78, and to pay a civil money penalty of $75,000. Additionally, Koch was barred from association with any investment adviser and KAM was censured.

The law judge found that Koch and KAM violated the antifraud provisions by “marking the close” in the purchase of securities for advisory clients. (Initial Decision No. 458; File No. 3-14355)

Stephen H. Guth Settles SEC Insider Trading Charge Concerning Omrix Tender Offer

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today filed a settled civil injunctive action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia alleging that Stephen H. Guth violated the provisions of the federal securities laws that prohibit trading on the basis of material nonpublic information concerning a tender offer. SEC v. Stephen H. Guth, Civil Action No. 1:12-cv-00842 (RBW) (D.D.C. filed May24, 2012).

The Commission’s complaint alleges the following: Guth, a U.S. citizen residing in the United Kingdom, is a self-employed consultant and had been the Chief Financial Officer of Omrix Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. from 1996 to 2000. On October 3, 2008, after Johnson & Johnson, Inc. had taken substantial steps to commence a tender offer for the outstanding shares of Omrix common stock, Guth received an unsolicited communication from the Chief Executive Officer of Omrix requesting assistance with due diligence questions pertaining to transactions that occurred while Guth worked for the company. In October and November 2008, the Chief Executive Officer of Omrix had additional communications with Guth related to due diligence questions. As a result of his communications with the Omrix CEO, Guth learned that an acquisition of Omrix was likely, and he purchased 7,000 shares of Omrix common stock. Guth purchased Omrix securities while in possession of material information relating to the tender offer, which he knew or had reason to know was nonpublic and had been acquired from an officer of the issuer whose securities were to be sought. On November 23, 2008, Omrix and Johnson & Johnson jointly announced the tender offer. Thereafter, defendant Guth tendered his shares of Omrix stock, realizing profits exceeding $60,000.

Without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission’s complaint, Guth has consented to entry of a proposed Final Judgment that would enjoin him from future violations of the provisions of the federal securities laws that prohibit trading on the basis of material nonpublic information concerning a tender offer, order him to disgorge $63,517, with prejudgment interest of $7,695.49; and impose a civil penalty of $31,758. The proposed settlement is subject to the approval of the district court. [SEC v. Stephen H. Guth, Civil Action No. 1:12-cv-00842 (RBW) (D.D.C.)] (LR-22374)
