COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTSSEC Issues First Whistleblower Program AwardA whistleblower who helped the Securities and Exchange Commission stop a multi-million dollar fraud will receive nearly $50,000 – the first payout from a new SEC program to reward people who provide evidence of securities fraud. The award represents 30 percent of the amount collected in an SEC enforcement action against the perpetrators of the scheme, the maximum percentage payout allowed by the whistleblower law. “The whistleblower program is already becoming a success,” said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro, who advocated for the program. “We’re seeing high-quality tips that are saving our investigators substantial time and resources.” The award recipient, who does not wish to be identified, provided documents and other significant information that allowed the SEC’s investigation to move at an accelerated pace and prevent the fraud from ensnaring additional victims. The whistleblower’s assistance led to a court ordering more than $1 million in sanctions, of which approximately $150,000 has been collected thus far. The court is considering whether to issue a final judgment against other defendants in the matter. Any increase in the sanctions ordered and collected will increase payments to the whistleblower. “This whistleblower provided the exact kind of information and cooperation we were hoping the whistleblower program would attract,” said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “Had this whistleblower not helped to uncover the full dimensions of the scheme, it is very likely that many more investors would have been victimized.” The SEC did not approve a claim from a second individual seeking an award in this matter because the information provided did not lead to or significantly contribute to the SEC’s enforcement action, as required for an award. The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act authorized the whistleblower program to reward individuals who offer high-quality original information that leads to an SEC enforcement action in which more than $1 million in sanctions is ordered. Awards can range from 10 percent to 30 percent of the money collected. The Dodd-Frank Act included enhanced anti-retaliation employment protections for whistleblowers and provisions to protect their identity. The law specifies that the SEC cannot disclose any information, including information the whistleblower provided to the SEC, which could reasonably be expected to directly or indirectly reveal a whistleblower’s identity. Sean McKessy, Chief of the SEC’s Whistleblower Office, said that since the program was established in August 2011, about eight tips a day are flowing into the SEC. “The fact that we made the first payment after just one year of operation shows that we are open for business and ready to pay people who bring us good, timely information.” For more information about the whistleblower program and how to report a tip, visit www.sec.gov/whistleblower. (Press Rel. 2012-162) ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGSIn the Matter of Quill Industries, Inc.

The Default Order finds that Respondents Rocky Point Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sentosa Financial Investments, Ltd., Western Futures Fund LP, Western Futures Fund II LP, Wichita River Oil, Corp., Woods Cross Holding Corp., and WSC Group, Inc., failed to file timely periodic reports while their securities were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and revokes the registration of each Respondent’s class of registered securities, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Default Order also sets a second prehearing conference in October to determine if Quill Industries, Inc. (n/k/a Eagle Worldwide Inc.), has resolved the allegations in the Order Instituting Proceedings. (Rel. 34-67697; File No. 3-14943) In the Matter of Gregory Bartko, Esq.An Administrative Law Judge has issued an Initial Decision in Gregory Bartko, Esq., Admin. Proc. File No. 3-14700. On November 18, 2010, a jury found Gregory Bartko (Bartko) guilty of one count of conspiracy in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, four counts of mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341 and 1342, and one count of the sale of unregistered securities in violation of 15 U.S.C. §§ 77e and 77x and 18 U.S.C. § 2, as a result of his involvement in an interstate criminal scheme to fraudulently obtain funds from investors through the use of material misrepresentations. On April 4, 2012, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina sentenced Bartko to 276 months of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release, and imposed on him and other co-defendants more than $886,000 in criminal monetary penalties. Based on Bartko’s conviction, the Initial Decision bars Bartko from association with an investment adviser, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent, pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. (Initial Decision No. 467; File No. 3-14700) SEC Brings Charges in Puerto Rico-Based Ponzi Scheme Targeting Evangelical Christians and Factory WorkersThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a Puerto Rico resident and his company with conducting a Ponzi scheme that targeted evangelical Christians and factory workers in Puerto Rico. The SEC alleges that Ricardo Bonilla Rojas and his firm Shadai Yire raised at least $7 million from as many as 200 investors living primarily in Puerto Rico but also on the U.S. mainland in such states as Florida, New York, and North Carolina. The SEC alleges that Rojas actively solicited investors through personal discussions with individuals both over the phone and in person, and he also marketed the investment opportunity in presentations to evangelical Christian groups and factory workers who were often inexperienced investors. According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, Rojas falsely assured investors that their principal contributions were “100% guaranteed” and promised returns up to 50 percent, telling them he would invest their money in commodities. According to the complaint, Rojas never actually invested any money in commodities and instead used new contributions to repay earlier investors in classic Ponzi scheme fashion and stole $700,000 for himself. In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Puerto Rico today announced criminal charges against Rojas. According to the SEC’s complaint, Rojas and Shadai Yire conducted the scheme from at least August 2005 to February 2009. Rojas, who resides in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, and his company Shadai Yire have never been registered with the SEC to offer securities. The SEC alleges that Rojas hired some sales agents to help him solicit investors, and paid commissions based on a percentage of the investor funds they raised. Rojas and his sales agents pitched the investment opportunity to individuals as a risk-free way to earn high returns in a short period of time. The SEC further alleges that Rojas created phony account statements that were sent to investors to hide his misuse of investor money and lead them to believe their investments were growing. The SEC’s complaint charges the defendants with violating 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. The SEC’s complaint also charges Rojas with violations of Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act. The SEC’s complaint seeks disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, financial penalties, and injunctive relief against Rojas and Shadai Yire to enjoin them from future violations of the federal securities laws. The SEC’s investigation was conducted in the Miami Regional Office by Senior Counsel Terence M. Tennant and Accountant Karaz S. Zaki under the supervision of Assistant Regional Director Elisha L. Frank. Amie Riggle Berlin will lead the SEC’s litigation. The SEC acknowledges the assistance and cooperation of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Puerto Rico, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s San Juan Division, and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. [SEC v. Ricardo Bonilla Rojas and Shadai Yire, Inc., Civil Action No. 12-cv-1681 (D.P.R.)] (LR-22454; Press Rel. 2012-161) SEC Charges Former Array BioPharma Manager For Insider TradingOn August 20, 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a settled civil action in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado against James L. Lieberman. In its complaint, the Commission alleges that Lieberman traded Array BioPharma, Inc. stock based on material nonpublic information about a pending transaction with Novartis, which he learned while working as Array’s manager of environmental health and safety. Minutes after receiving an e-mail from Array’s chief financial officer informing him that a significant licensing transaction with Novartis was imminent, Lieberman placed orders to buy Array common stock in both his brokerage account and his sister’s account, over which he had trading authority. In the weeks leading up to the public announcement of the transaction, Lieberman purchased nearly 50,000 shares of Array stock. After the public announcement on April 19, 2010, Lieberman sold all the shares in both accounts for profits of $71,361. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission’s complaint, Lieberman consented to a final judgment permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; ordering him to pay disgorgement of $71,361, plus prejudgment interest of $4,906; and ordering him to pay a one-time civil penalty in the amount of $71,361, for a total of $147,628. The Commission acknowledges FINRA for its assistance in this matter. [SEC v.
