Rules and Related MattersExtension of Temporary Exemptions for Eligible Credit Default Swaps to Facilitate Operation of Central Counterparties to Clear and Settle Credit Default SwapsOn July 1, 2011, the Commission extended until April 16, 2012 the temporary exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 for certain credit default swaps to facilitate the operation of one or more central counterparties for those credit default swaps. If the Commission adopts permanent exemptions for security-based swaps issued by certain clearing agencies before April 16, 2012, the Commission will terminate the effectiveness of the temporary rules as part of that rulemaking. The full text of the adopting release can be accessed on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov/rules/interim-final-temp.shtml. (Rels. 33-9232; 34-64800; 39-2476; S7-02-09) Enforcement ProceedingsIn the Matter of Jeffrey R. NeufeldOn July 1, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Jeffrey R. Neufeld (Neufeld). The Order finds that on April 27, 2011, a judgment was entered by consent against Neufeld and Paridon Capital Management, LLC (Paridon), an unregistered investment adviser owned by Neufeld, permanently enjoining them from future violations of 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), 206(3), and 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jeffrey R. Neufeld, et al., Civil Action Number 10-2399, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The Commission’s complaint alleged, among other things, that since 2006, Neufeld and Paridon reported and disseminated false and fictitious rates of returns and assets under management to investors and prospective investors in the TCM Global Strategy Fund, LP (TCM Fund), an unregistered commodity pool. Neufeld and Paridon used false performance and assets under management to lure prospective investors to join the TCM Fund and continued to report false rates of return to hide trading losses from investors. Neufeld and Paridon also engaged in improper self-dealing by having the TCM Fund purchase $75,000 of “debt securities” from Paridon, the TCM Fund’s general partner and investment adviser. Investors were never told about this purchase, which was actually a loan by the TCM Fund to Paridon. Based on the above, the Order bars Neufeld from association with a broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Neufeld consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings therein, except as to the entry of the judgment. (Rel. IA-3230; File No. 3-14449) Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of DATEQ Information Network, Inc. (n/k/a LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Inc.) for Failure to Make Required Periodic FilingsOn July 5, 2011, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of DATEQ Information Network, Inc. (n/k/a LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Inc.) (DATEQ Information) 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, DATEQ Information 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 DATEQ Information Network, Inc. (n/k/a LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Inc.) 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 DATEQ Information’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. This Order settled the proceedings brought against DATEQ Information in In the Matter of D’Brit Corp., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14411. Brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that Exchange Act Section 12(j) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:
For further information see Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings and Notice of Hearing Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, In the Matter of D’Brit Corp., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14411, Exchange Act Release No. 64610, June 6, 2011. (Rel. 34-64801; File No. 3-14411) In the Matter of Four Five, LLCThe Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on July 1, 2011, the Honorable J. Owen Forrester, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, entered an order permanently enjoining Michael L. Rothenberg (Rothenberg) and Four Five, LLC (Four Five) (collectively Defendants). The order restrained and enjoined Defendants from violating of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934. Defendants were also ordered to pay disgorgement, pre-judgment interest and a civil penalty in amounts to be resolved upon motion of the Commission at a later date, and directed that for purposes of that motion, the allegations of the Commission’s Complaint shall be deemed true. Defendants consented to the entry of the order without admitting or denying the allegations of the Commission’s Complaint. The Commission’s complaint, filed on June 2, 2011, alleges that between at least February 2010 and March 2010, Rothenberg, through Four Five, used misrepresentations and omissions of material fact to induce investors to participate in a secret and allegedly risk-free trading platform or trading facility. This trading platform or trading facility purportedly involved transactions among international banks that would generate substantial return on a recurring basis. Specifically, Rothenberg represented that the trading platform would produce returns in excess of 300% every fourteen days. Rothenberg and Four Five also represented to investors, both orally and in writing, that the majority of their funds would remain at all times in Rothenberg’s attorney trust account, and that all funds invested, along with the profits, would be returned to the investors at the conclusion of the trades. Rothenberg further represented to the investors that the investment was risk-free because their funds would remain in his attorney trust account. Contrary to Defendants’ representations, a risk-free trading process providing the returns promised by Defendants does not exist. Moreover, contrary to Rothenberg’s representations that investor funds would remain in his attorney trust account, Rothenberg began disbursing investor funds within days of receipt of those funds. Between March 2010 and October 2010, at least $210,000 in investor funds were transferred to a bank account designated for contributions to Rothenberg’s judicial election campaign. Rothenberg used another $190,000 of investor funds for personal expenses. Although Rothenberg ultimately returned approximately $910,000 to investors, Defendants have misappropriated at least $800,000 of investor funds. [SEC v. Michael L. Rothenberg, et al., Civil Action Number 1:11-CV-1803-JOF (N.D. GA.)] (LR-22026) Former ArthroCare Corporation Executives Settle Charges Involving Fraudulent Revenue RecognitionOn June 27, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged John Raffle and David Applegate, former senior vice presidents of ArthroCare Corporation, with conducting a scheme to materially misstate ArthroCare’s publicly reported revenue and earnings. Without admitting or denying the Commission’s allegations, Raffle settled by consenting to a judgment permanently enjoining him from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rules 13b2-1, and 13b2-2 thereunder, and from aiding and abetting violations of Exchange Act Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B), and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder. The judgment also orders him to pay $1,782,742.43 in disgorgement plus prejudgment interest of $329,230.44, but waives payment of all but $175,000 of this amount, and does not impose a civil penalty, based upon his sworn financial statements. Applegate also agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the Commission’s allegations, by consenting to a judgment permanently enjoining him from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and aiding and abetting violations of Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder. The judgment orders him to pay $621,754.60 in disgorgement plus prejudgment interest of $106,469.70, but waives payment of all but $55,000 of this amount, and does not impose a civil penalty, based upon his sworn financial statements. Raffle and Applegate both will be barred from serving as officers or directors of public companies for five years. The Commission also settled with Raffle’s ex-wife, Kathy Raffle, to recover $200,000 of incentive compensation and profits from sales of ArthroCare stock John Raffle obtained during the course of the earnings management scheme, which Kathy Raffle received in a divorce agreement. The Commission does not allege any wrongdoing by Kathy Raffle. The proposed judgments are subject to court approval. [SEC v. John Raffle, David Applegate, and Kathy Raffle (Relief Defendant), Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-540 (W.D. Tex.)] (LR-22027; AAE Rel. 3299) Investment Company Act ReleasesPrecidian ETFs Trust (formerly Next ETFS Trust), et al.An order has been issued on an application filed by Precidian ETFs Trust, et al. to permit: (a) certain open-end management investment companies or series thereof to issue shares that can be redeemed in large aggregations only (Creation Units); (b) secondary market transactions in shares to occur at negotiated market prices; (c) certain series to pay redemption proceeds, under certain circumstances, more than seven days after the tender of shares for redemption; (d) certain affiliated persons of the series to deposit securities into, and receive securities from, the series in connection with the purchase and redemption of Creation Units; and (e) certain registered management investment companies and unit investment trusts outside of the same group of investment companies as the series to acquire shares of the series.
