SEC Charges 14 Sales Agents in $415 Million Long Island-Based Ponzi Scheme
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged 14 sales agents who misled investors and illegally sold securities for a Long Island-based investment firm at the center of a $415 million Ponzi scheme.
The SEC alleges that the sales agents – which include four sets of siblings – falsely promised investor returns as high as 12 to 14 percent in several weeks when they sold investments offered by Agape World Inc. They also misled investors to believe that only 1 percent of their principal was at risk. The Agape securities they peddled were actually non-existent, and investors were merely lured into a Ponzi scheme where earlier investors were paid with new investor funds. The sales agents turned a blind eye to red flags of fraud and sold the investments without hesitation, receiving more than $52 million in commissions and payments out of investor funds. None of these sales agents were registered with the SEC to sell securities, nor were they associated with a registered broker or dealer. Agape also was not registered with the SEC.
“This Ponzi scheme spread like wildfire through Long Island’s middle-class communities because this small group of individuals blindly promoted the offerings as particularly safe and profitable,” said Andrew M. Calamari, Acting Regional Director for the SEC’s New York Regional Office. “These sales agents raked in commissions without regard for investors or any apparent concern for Agape’s financial distress and inability to meet investor redemptions.”
According to the SEC’s complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, more than 5,000 investors nationwide were impacted by the scheme that lasted from 2005 to January 2009, when Agape’s president and organizer of the scheme Nicholas J. Cosmo was arrested. He was later sentenced to 300 months in prison and ordered to pay more than $179 million in restitution.
The SEC alleges that the sales agents misrepresented to investors that their money would be used to make high-interest bridge loans to commercial borrowers or businesses that accepted credit cards. Little, if any, investor money actually went toward this purpose. Investor funds were instead used for Ponzi scheme payments and the agents’ sales commissions, and Cosmo lost $80 million while trading futures in personal accounts. Meanwhile, the sales agents assuredly offered and sold Agape securities to investors despite numerous red flags of fraud including Cosmo’s prior conviction for fraud, the too-good-to-be-true returns, and the incredible safety of principal promised to investors. The sales agents also ignored Agape’s relatively small and unknown status as a private issuer of securities, Agape’s series of extensions and defaults, and other dire warnings about Agape’s financial condition. None of the Agape securities offerings were registered with the SEC.
The SEC’s complaint charges the following sales agents:
- Brothers Bryan Arias and Hugo A. Arias of Maspeth, N.Y., who offered and sold Agape securities to at least 195 and 1,419 investors respectively. They received more than $9.5 million combined in commissions and payments.
- Brothers Anthony C. Ciccone of Locust Valley, N.Y. and Salvatore Ciccone of Maspeth, N.Y., who offered and sold Agape securities to at least 535 and 348 investors respectively. They received more than $17 million combined in commissions and payments.
- Brothers Jason A. Keryc of Wantagh, N.Y. and Michael D. Keryc of Baldwin, N.Y. Jason Keryc offered and sold Agape securities to at least 1,617 investors and received at least $16 million in commissions and payments. He also paid sub-brokers, including his brother, at least $7.4 million to sell Agape securities for him. Michael Keryc offered and sold Agape securities to at least 177 investors and received more than $1 million in commissions and payments.
- Siblings Martin C. Hartmann III of Massapequa, N.Y. and Laura Ann Tordy of Wantagh, N.Y. Hartmann enlisted his sister in his sales effort while he worked as a sub-broker for Jason Keryc. Hartmann and Tordy offered and sold Agape securities to at least 441 investors and received more than $3.5 million in commissions and payments.
- Christopher E. Curran of Amityville, N.Y., who worked as a sub-broker for Keryc. Curran offered and sold Agape securities to at least 132 investors and received at least $531,890 in commissions and payments.
- Ryan K. Dunaske of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., who worked as a sub-broker for Keryc. Dunaske offered and sold Agape securities to at least 70 investors and received more than $700,000 in commissions and payments.
- Michael P. Dunne of Massapequa, N.Y., who worked as a sub-broker for Keryc. Dunne offered and sold Agape securities to at least 99 investors and received more than $1.5 million in commissions and payments.
- Diane Kaylor of Bethpage, N.Y., who offered and sold Agape securities to at least 249 investors and received at least $3.7 million in commissions and payments.
- Anthony Massaro of Boynton Beach, Fla., who offered and sold Agape securities to at least 826 investors and received more than $5.9 million in commissions and payments.
- Ronald R. Roaldsen, Jr. of Wantagh, N.Y., who worked as a sub-broker for Keryc. Roaldsen offered and sold Agape securities to at least 159 investors and received more than $600,000 in commissions and payments.
The SEC’s complaint charges Bryan and Hugo Arias, Anthony and Salvatore Ciccone, Jason and Michael Keryc, Dunne, Hartmann, Kaylor, Massaro, and Tordy with violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaint charges all 14 defendants with violations of Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, and Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act.
The SEC thanks the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for its assistance in this matter. Anthony Ciccone, Kaylor, Jason Keryc, and Massaro have previously been arrested on a criminal complaint charging each of them with conspiracy to commit mail fraud based on their conduct as Agape sales agents. The SEC also acknowledges the assistance of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Celeste Chase, Philip Moustakis, and Yvette Panetta in the New York Regional Office. The SEC’s related examination that led to the enforcement case was conducted by Richard A. Heaphy, Yvette Q. Panetta, Dawn M. Sacco, Joseph P. DiMaria, James E. Anastasia, Marianne Cala, and Steven Gilchrist. The SEC’s litigation will be led by Paul G. Gizzi and Mr. Moustakis. (Press Rel. 2012-112)

SEC v. Bryan Arais, et al.
On June 12, 2012, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) filed an action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Bryan Arias, Hugo A. Arias, Anthony C. Ciccone, Salvatore Ciccone, Diane Kaylor (Kaylor), Jason A. Keryc, Anthony Massaro (Massaro), Christopher E. Curran (Curran), Ryan K. Dunaske (Dunaske), Michael P. Dunne (Dunne), Martin C. Hartmann III (Hartmann), Michael D. Keryc, Ronald R. Roaldsen, Jr. (Roaldsen), and Laura Ann Tordy (Tordy). The Commission’s complaint seeks, against each of the Defendants, injunctive relief, disgorgement, and civil penalties.
According to the Commission’s complaint, the Defendants were the principal sales agents for Agape World, Inc. (Agape), a $415 million Ponzi scheme organized by Nicholas J. Cosmo (Cosmo), the president of Agape. From 2005 through January 2009, more than 5,000 investors nationwide, including more than 1,000 investors on Long Island, New York, purchased the Agape securities. The Agape securities were fictitious with, at best, a fraction of investor funds used as represented to investors by the Defendants. The Commission’s complaint alleges further that Defendants Bryan and Hugo Arias, Anthony and Salvatore Ciccone, Kaylor, Jason Keryc, Massaro, Dunne, Hartmann, Michael Keryc, and Tordy each knowingly or recklessly, and repeatedly, made misrepresentations to investors concerning the Agape securities. These same Defendants offered and sold Agape securities despite numerous red flags of fraud, including Cosmo’s prior conviction for fraud, the too-good-to-be-true returns and incredible safety of principal promised to investors, a series of extensions and defaults by Agape, and dire warnings about Agape’s financial condition. The Agape securities were not registered with the Commission and, while selling the Agape securities, none of the Defendants was registered with the Commission in any capacity or associated with a registered broker or dealer.
The Complaint charges Defendants Bryan and Hugo Arias, Anthony and Salvatore Ciccone, Kaylor, Jason Keryc, Massaro, Dunne, Hartmann, Michael Keryc, and Tordy with violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Complaint charges all of the Defendants with violations of Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, and Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act. [SEC v. Bryan Arias, et al., Civil Action No. 12-CV-2937 (E.D.N.Y.)] (LR-22391)
Court Issues Preliminary Injunction against Atlanta Investment Advisor and His Company
On June 11, 2012, the Honorable Thomas W. Thrash of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia issued an order of preliminary injunction against violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s case against Benjamin Daniel DeHaan and Lighthouse Financial Partners, LLC. The order also allows for expedited discovery, asset freezes, prevents the destruction or concealment of documents and requires an accounting. Lighthouse, an investment advisor located in Atlanta and registered with the State of Georgia, has been owned and operated by DeHaan since 2007.
The Commission filed its case against DeHaan and Lighthouse on Saturday, June 9, 2012. The Commission’s complaint alleged that from approximately January 2011 through early May 2012, DeHaan moved approximately $1.2 million in funds belonging to his clients from their accounts at a custodial broker-dealer into a bank account in Lighthouse’s name that he controlled, thus gaining custody and control of these client assets. DeHaan and Lighthouse told the clients that these funds would be used to open new accounts at another broker-dealer. Once in this account, at least some of these funds were moved to a personal account belong to DeHaan and to accounts used by Lighthouse for business expenses. At least $600,000 in client funds remains unaccounted for. DeHaan was also alleged to have provided false documents to the Commission’s staff and to an examiner for the State of Georgia.
DeHaan and Lighthouse consented to the entry of the order providing for a preliminary injunction and other relief without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission’s complaint. The Commission may seek additional relief, such as a permanent injunction, disgorgement of any ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest and civil penalties, at a later time. [SEC v. Benjamin Daniel DeHaan and Lighthouse Financial Partners, LLC, Civil Action No. 1:12-cv-01996-TWT (U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia)] (LR-22392)
