SEC’s Chief Diversity Official Ronald L. Crawford to Retire After 31 Years at SEC
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Ronald L. Crawford, the SEC’s first chief diversity official, is retiring from public service this week after 31 years at the SEC.
Mr. Crawford, a senior officer, was appointed Chief Counsel for Diversity and Policy Initiatives in July 2009. He has been responsible for planning and developing programs and initiatives that would implement the SEC’s diversity policy, execute the SEC’s strategic goals on diversity, and support the SEC’s equal employment opportunity mission.
Mr. Crawford has worked on several projects, collaborating with other SEC staff to develop an executive leadership program, coordinating the activities of a diversity council planning group, serving on several special emphasis committees, participating in a number of major recruiting events, and promoting the SEC’s first student shadowing program. He participated on three federal interagency committees that are coordinating and designing the new statutorily mandated diversity and gender inclusion compliance measures for the securities and financial industries. In this role, Mr. Crawford served as a key leader preparing for the eventual establishment of the SEC’s Office of Minority and Women Inclusion under Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
“As the first person to serve as the Chief Counsel for Diversity and Policy Initiatives at the SEC, Ron has done an outstanding job of establishing the concept and demonstrating the value this position can contribute to the agency,” said Jeff Risinger, the Chief Human Capital Officer at the SEC. “The Dodd-Frank Act created the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion at each of the financial regulators, which in many ways reflects the work that Ron established long before this idea was federal law.”
Mr. Crawford has been a frequent panelist and speaker before bar associations, law schools, and professional groups on such topics as diversity, implementation of Section 342, securities law practice, and what the SEC is doing to become an “Employer of Choice.” During 2010 and 2011, Mr. Crawford was an adjunct professor of law at Howard University’s School of Law and was instrumental in connecting the SEC staff with the School of Law community of students, faculty, and administrators.
Prior to his appointment as the SEC’s senior diversity official, Mr. Crawford was the senior associate regional director for the SEC’s Atlanta Regional Office and had supervisory responsibilities for enforcement, examinations, bankruptcy, and information technology programs. He began his career at the SEC in 1980 as a staff attorney in the Division of Enforcement and served in three regional offices. During his assignments in the Enforcement Division, he supervised and played an important role in the resolution of numerous high-profile enforcement cases. While serving as a branch chief in the Philadelphia Regional Office, Mr. Crawford taught corporate law as an adjunct lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business from 1985 to 1987.
“I have had the privilege of first working on the SEC’s primary mission of investor protection and then having an opportunity to lead the SEC in addressing the emerging diversity issues now facing most government and private organizations,” Mr. Crawford said. “I wanted to leave the SEC well-positioned to be in the vanguard of federal agencies operating in this arena. The investments that the SEC has made in strengthening diversity and inclusion are complex and critical to mission success.”
Prior to joining the SEC staff, Mr. Crawford was a member of the faculty at St. John’s University, where he was an assistant academic dean and the director and founder of the Institute of Ethnic and Urban Affairs. Mr. Crawford received his JD from Columbia University’s School of Law, a BA in mathematics from the University of Bridgeport, an MA in mathematics education from Colgate University, and a M.Ed. and Ed.D. in educational administration from Columbia University’s Teachers College, where he was a Ford Foundation Fellow.

SEC Provides Additional Guidance, Interim Relief and Exemptions for Security-Based Swaps Under Dodd-Frank Act
The Securities and Exchange Commission today provided additional guidance to clarify which U.S. securities laws will apply to security-based swaps starting July 16 -- the effective date of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
That Act created a new regulatory framework for over-the-counter derivatives, authorizing the SEC to regulate security-based swaps and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to regulate other swaps. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, starting July 16, 2011, security-based swaps are defined as “securities” subject to existing federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As one part of today’s action, the Commission approved an order granting temporary relief and interpretive guidance to make clear that a substantial number of the requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to securities will not apply to security-based swaps when the revised definition of “security” goes into effect on July 16. Nevertheless, federal securities laws prohibiting fraud and manipulation will continue to apply to security-based swaps after that date. To enhance legal certainty for market participants, the Commission also provided temporary relief from provisions of U.S. securities laws that allow the voiding of contracts made in violation of those laws.
“As we move forward with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act, this temporary relief will help maintain the existing legal framework for security-based swaps under the Exchange Act until the Commission adopts new rules for these transactions,” said Robert Cook, Director of the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets.
In addition, the Commission approved an interim final rule providing exemptions from the Securities Act, Trust Indenture Act and other provisions of the federal securities laws to allow certain security-based swaps to continue to trade and be cleared as they have pre-Dodd-Frank. That interim relief will extend until the Commission adopts rules further defining “security-based swap” and “eligible contract participant.”
The Commission previously issued guidance in this area on June 15 and plans additional steps in coming days related to the July 16 effective date. Although these actions have been approved, the Commission is seeking input from the public on today’s actions. (Press Rel. 2011-141)
SEC Division of Investment Management Names Robert Plaze as Deputy Director and Diane Blizzard as Managing Executive
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Robert E. Plaze has been named Deputy Director in the Division of Investment Management and Diane C. Blizzard has been named Managing Executive of the Division.
As Deputy Director, Mr. Plaze will play an integral role in the Division’s regulatory program under the Investment Company and Investment Advisers Acts of 1940. This includes rulemaking, granting orders exempting entities from requirements of the Acts, and issuing interpretive positions under the Acts.
Mr. Plaze has been a member of the Division staff for more than 27 years. He has served in a number of positions, most recently as Associate Director for Regulatory Policy. Mr. Plaze has led numerous regulatory policy and rulemaking initiatives, and has engaged extensively with other financial regulators on behalf of the Commission on important and timely projects related to investment advisers and investment companies.
“I’m very pleased that we will have the benefit of Bob’s great experience and talent deployed across a broader scope of the Division’s work,” said Eileen Rominger, Director of the SEC’s Division of Investment Management. “In his new role, Bob will help me and other leaders in the Division appropriately prioritize our near-term regulatory agenda and longer-term initiatives, and help the Commission identify the best possible solutions to the challenging issues we face in our mission of investor protection.”
Mr. Plaze said, “This is a great opportunity to work with Eileen Rominger to further investor protections and our ambitious regulatory agenda.”
Mr. Plaze is a past recipient of the SEC’s Distinguished Service Award, and twice received the agency’s Law and Policy Award. He holds an AB and JD from Georgetown University.
Ms. Blizzard has been appointed to the newly created position of Managing Executive of the Division. Formerly the Senior Adviser to the Director, Ms. Blizzard has 11 years of experience at the SEC. Ms. Blizzard will now be responsible for the overall management of all administrative, resource allocation, and strategic planning initiatives in the Division. She also will be responsible for assessing the effectiveness of the Division’s work processes and overseeing business improvement projects to streamline workflow.
“Diane is a dynamic manager with excellent knowledge of the Division’s work,” said Ms. Rominger. “I look forward to working with her to remove any impediments to productivity and move toward the very highest standards of management practice.”
Ms. Blizzard said, “This is a critical time to examine our operations in order to optimize our resources in fulfilling our mission on behalf of the investing public. I look forward to working with the excellent staff in the Division on this very important effort.”
Earlier in her career, Ms. Blizzard served as counsel to an affiliate of the Investment Company Institute. She holds an AB from Duke University, and a JD from Georgetown University. (Press Rel. 2011-142)

Final Judgments Entered Against Robert M. Esposito and Gregory A. King Ordering Over $20 Million in Disgorgement and Civil Penalties In Fraudulent Touting Case
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on June 24, 2011, the Honorable Judge Richard A. Lazzara, United States District Judge for the Middle District of Florida, entered final judgments against two penny stock promoters, Robert M. Esposito and Gregory A. King, ordering them to pay $19,515,598 and $943,166, respectively, in disgorgement and civil penalties, in a fraudulent touting case the Commission filed on March 17, 2008. SEC v. Esposito, et al., No. 08 CV 494 T26 (M.D. Fla.). See Lit. Rel. No. 20499. The Court had previously entered judgments against Esposito and King permanently enjoining them from violating the anti-fraud and other provisions of the federal securities laws, and barring them from participating in any future penny stock offering. See Lit. Rel. No. 21449 (March 11, 2010).
In this action, the Commission charged that Esposito, King, and others participated in a fraudulent touting scheme of the stock of Anscott Industries, Inc. The complaint alleged that in April 2003, Esposito, a penny stock promoter, orchestrated a reverse merger between Anscott (then a private company) and Liquidix, Inc., a public shell company which, after the merger, changed its name to Anscott. According to the complaint, Esposito received 4 million shares of Anscott stock from the company as compensation for arranging the reverse merger and for future stock promotion work. The complaint further alleged that a fraudulent Form S-8 registration statement was filed with the Commission for the 4 million shares of Anscott issued to Esposito, which improperly enabled Esposito to sell these shares to the public during the fraudulent touting scheme.
As alleged in the complaint, after the reverse merger and the issuance of shares to Esposito, Esposito paid King, another penny stock promoter with whom Esposito had worked previously, to prepare and disseminate materially false and misleading tout sheets promoting Anscott stock. The Commission alleged that these tout sheets -- crafted to appear like independent investment newsletters and entitled the Wall Street Bulletin -- recommended Anscott as a “strong buy,” and were disseminated to the public through fax spamming from late May 2003 through July 2003.
According to the complaint, these tout sheets, which King prepared, contained materially false and misleading representations about Anscott’s products, business affiliations, and projected revenues. The complaint further alleged that these tout sheets failed to disclose, among other information, that Esposito, who was paid by the company to promote Anscott stock, was paying King to prepare and disseminate these “newsletters,” and that Esposito was selling his Anscott stock during the touting scheme contrary to the Wall Street Bulletin’s “strong buy” recommendation and price targets.
During the touting campaign, the price of Anscott’s stock rose from around $1.40 a share in mid-May 2003, to a high of $4.59 a share on July 11, 2003. The complaint alleged that Esposito sold most of his Anscott stock to the public, realizing millions of dollars in illicit profits.
The Court’s final judgment against Esposito orders him to pay disgorgement of $7,691,135, prejudgment interest of $4,133,326, and third tier civil penalty of $7,691,135. The judgment against Esposito also (a) permanently enjoins him from future violations of Sections 17(a), 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5, 13d-1 and 13d-2; and (b) permanently bars him from participating in any future penny stock offerings.
The Court’s final judgment against King orders him to pay disgorgement of $358,000, prejudgment interest of $227,166, and a third tier civil penalty of $358,000. The judgment against King also (a) permanently enjoins him from future violations of Sections 17(b) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5; and (b) permanently bars him from participating in any future penny stock offerings.
The Court previously entered final judgment against other defendants in this case, Anscott and its CEO, Jack R. Belluscio, on October 27, 2008: (1) permanently enjoining them from future violations of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5; (2) permanently barring Belluscio from acting as an officer or director of a public company; (3) ordering Belluscio to pay third tier civil penalties of $240,000; and (4) ordering Anscott to pay third tier civil penalties of $1,200,000. In a related administrative proceeding, on May 7, 2008, the Commission issued an Order revoking the registration of Anscott securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. See In the Matter of Anscott Industries, Inc., Release No. 34-57791. [SEC v. Robert M. Esposito, Gregory A. King, Jack R. Belluscio and Anscott Industries, Inc., C.A. No. 08:00494 T26 (M.D. Fla.) (RAL)] (LR-22020)
Former Schottenfeld Proprietary Trader David Plate Settles SEC Insider Trading Charges
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on June 28, 2011, The Honorable Jed S. Rakoff of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a judgment against David Plate in SEC v. Galleon Management, LP, et al., 09-CV-8811, an insider trading case the SEC filed on Oct. 16, 2009. The SEC charged Plate, who was a registered representative and a proprietary trader at the broker-dealer Schottenfeld Group, LLC, during the relevant time period, with using inside information to trade ahead of an impending acquisition announcement.
In its action, the SEC alleged that, in March 2007, Plate was tipped inside information that Kronos Inc. would be acquired in about a week for a substantial premium. On the basis of the material non-public information he received, Plate traded in a Schottenfeld account he managed.
To settle the SEC’s charges, Plate consented to the entry of a judgment that: (i) permanently enjoins him from violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; and (ii) orders him to pay disgorgement of $43,876.37, plus prejudgment interest of $9,415.54. The judgment further provides that the Court later will determine issues relating to a civil penalty. Plate previously pled guilty to charges of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud in a related criminal case, United States v. David Plate, 10-CR-0056 (S.D.N.Y.). [SEC v. Galleon Management, LP, et al., Civil Action No. 09-CV-8811 (S.D.N.Y.) (JSR)] (LR-22021)
Court Enters Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief Against Shawn A. Icely
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on June 20, 2011, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida entered a final judgment of permanent injunction and other relief against Defendant Shawn A. Icely. The final judgment enjoins Icely from violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5. In addition to injunctive relief, the final judgment orders Icely to pay disgorgement of $391,435.26, prejudgment interest of $20,316.76, and imposes a civil penalty of $130,000. Icely consented to entry of the final judgment without admitting or denying any of the allegations in the complaint.
The Commission commenced this action by filing its complaint against Icely on Oct. 21, 2010. The complaint alleges Icely violated the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with his misappropriation of hundreds of thousands of dollars from customers of American Portfolios Financial Services, Inc. while he was employed there as a registered representative. [SEC v. Shawn A. Icely, Civil Action No. 8:10-CV-2363-T17-EAK-AEP (M.D. Fla.)] (LR-22022)
Former StarMedia CEO Agrees to Settlement in SEC Litigation
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that on June 30, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a settled final judgment as to Fernando J. Espuelas, a co-founder of StarMedia Network, Inc. and the company’s former Chief Executive Officer. StarMedia is a now-defunct Internet portal that was based in New York City. The Commission’s amended complaint alleges that for fiscal year 2000 and the first two quarters of fiscal year 2001, StarMedia’s books and records, and its filings with the Commission, misstated the quality and amount of the company’s revenue. The amended complaint also alleges that StarMedia executives made misstatements regarding the company’s revenue to certain entities from which it was attempting to obtain financing. In its amended complaint, the Commission alleged violations of the federal securities laws by eight former StarMedia executives.
Without admitting or denying the allegations in the amended complaint, Espuelas consented to the entry of the Final Judgment permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 13b2-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), and from aiding and abetting violations of Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1, and ordering him to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $40,000. [SEC v. Fernando J. Espuelas et al., Civil Action No. 06 CV 2435 (RJH) (S.D.N.Y)] (LR-22023; AAE Rel. 3298)
Securities and Exchange Commission files additional claims in case against ICP Asset Management, LLC
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the filing of its amended complaint in its case against investment advisory firm ICP Asset Management, LLC (ICP) and its founder, owner and president, Thomas C. Priore. The additional claims seek to rescind Priore’s transfer of assets to ensure that they would be within the reach of the Court in the event the Commission is successful in the pending case in Priore, ICP, and related entities.
The Commission filed fraud charges in June 2010 against Priore, ICP, its affiliated broker-dealer ICP Securities, LLC, and holding company Institutional Credit Partners, LLC. The Commission’s civil suit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of New York, alleged that ICP and Priore repeatedly directed trading that caused certain clients to overpay for securities in order to make money for ICP and to protect other ICP clients from realizing losses.
On June 29, 2010, the Court granted leave for the Commission to amend its pending complaint. The amended complaint adds allegations that, at a time when Priore knew that the Commission’s staff expected to bring fraud charges against him and his companies, he transferred ownership of his two homes into trusts in an attempt to make them unavailable to satisfy any judgment entered by the Court against Priore.
The Commission’s amended complaint adds new claims of fraudulent conveyance under New York law and federal law against Priore (as transferor and as transferee in his capacity as trustee of certain trusts), his wife Lori A. Priore (as transferor and as transferee in her capacity as trustee of certain trusts), and Bertrand H. Smyers (as transferee in his capacity as trustee of certain trusts). The amended complaint also adds relief claims against Priore, Lori Priore, and Smyers in their role as trustees of the trusts. The amended complaint seeks a final judgment voiding the transfers of the two properties in question, and requiring the return of any ill-gotten gains from the transfers. [SEC v. ICP Asset Management, LLC, ICP Securities, LLC, Institutional Credit Partners, LLC, Thomas C. Priore, Lori A. Priore, and Bertrand H. Smyers, Civil Action No. 10-CV-4791 (S.D.N.Y.)] (LR-22024)
Court Orders Investment Adviser Locke Capital Management, Inc., and its Principal, Leila C. Jenkins, to Pay Over $5 Million
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on June 30, 2011, a federal judge in Rhode Island granted the Commission’s motion for summary judgment and entered final judgments against Locke Capital Management, Inc., an investment adviser based in Newport, Rhode Island and New York City, and Leila C. Jenkins, its founder and sole owner. The Commission’s Complaint against Locke and Jenkins, filed in March 2009, alleged that they invented a billion-dollar client in order to gain credibility and attract legitimate investors. The Complaint further alleged that Jenkins tried to perpetuate her scheme by lying to the Commission staff about the existence of the invented client and furnishing the staff with bogus documents in 2008, including fake custodial statements that she created on her laptop. The Court ordered that Locke and Jenkins will be jointly and severally liable for disgorgement of $1,781,520, representing advisory fees paid to them from 2007-2009, plus prejudgment interest of $110,956. In addition, each defendant was ordered to pay a penalty of $1,781,520.
According to the Complaint, filed on March 9, 2009, Jenkins repeatedly claimed that the so-called "confidential" client accounts that she invented and claimed to manage contained more than $1 billion in assets. Even as Locke began to take on genuine clients in late 2006, the assets under management of its real clients never amounted to more than a very small portion of the billion-plus dollars that Jenkins claimed to manage. From at least 2003 to 2009, falsehoods concerning the confidential accounts were made in brochures, meetings, submissions to online databases that prospective clients used to select money managers, and in SEC filings.
The Honorable William E. Smith, United States District Judge in the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, issued an Opinion and Order on June 30, 2011, granting the Commission’s motion for summary judgment against Jenkins and denying Jenkins’s motion for summary judgment. The Court had previously granted the Commission’s motion for default judgment against Locke in March 2010. The court entered final judgments against Jenkins and Locke on June 30, 2011. The final judgments permanently enjoin Jenkins and Locke from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 207 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act”). The final judgment as to Locke also permanently enjoins it from violating Sections 204 and 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 204-2(a)(6), (8), (10), (15), and (16), as wells as 206(4)-1(a)(5) thereunder, and the final judgment as to Jenkins further permanently enjoins her from aiding and abetting violations of the same law sections. The final judgment as to Locke further permanently enjoins it from violating Section 204A of the Advisers Act and Rule 204A-1 thereunder. The final judgments hold Locke and Jenkins jointly and severally liable for disgorgement of $1,781,520 plus prejudgment interest of $110,956, and order each defendant was ordered to pay a penalty of $1,781,520.
