I look forward to working with a talented and dedicated team of attorneys in the Office of Chief Counsel, as well as all the hard-working professionals throughout the Commission, at a time when our nation's investors and markets face unprecedented change and challenges as well as significant opportunities.” Mr. Blass, 40, has received a number of awards during his career at the SEC, most recently the SEC’s Law and Policy Award for his efforts on implementation of financial reform legislation and the Chairman’s Award for Excellence for his work as a member of the Commission’s cross-divisional team that analyzed and reported on the events of May 6, 2010.

(Press Rel. 2011-152) Enforcement ProceedingsFormer Galleon Trader Michael Cardillo Settles SEC Insider Trading ChargesThe Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on July 18, 2011, the Honorable Richard J. Sullivan of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a judgment against Michael Cardillo in SEC v. Michael Cardillo, 11-CV-0549, an insider trading case the SEC filed on January 26, 2011. The SEC charged Cardillo, who was a trader at the hedge fund investment adviser Galleon Management, LP during the relevant time period, with using inside information to trade ahead of the September 2007 announced acquisition of 3Com Corp. and the November 2007 announced acquisition of Axcan Pharma Inc. In its complaint, the SEC alleged that Arthur Cutillo and Brien Santarlas, two former attorneys with the international law firm of Ropes & Gray LLP, misappropriated from their law firm material, nonpublic information concerning the acquisitions of 3Com and Axcan, and tipped the inside information, through another attorney, to Zvi Goffer, a former proprietary trader at Schottenfeld Group LLC, in exchange for kickbacks. The SEC further alleged that Goffer tipped information about these acquisitions to Craig Drimal, a trader who worked out of the offices of Galleon, who tipped the information to Cardillo. As alleged in the complaint, Cardillo then traded in the securities of 3Com and Axcan on behalf of a Galleon hedge fund. To settle the SEC’s charges, Cardillo consented to the entry of a judgment that: (i) permanently enjoins him from future 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 $58,520 plus $9,523 in prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty of $29,260. In a related SEC administrative proceeding, Cardillo consented to the entry of an SEC order barring him from association with any investment adviser, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent. Cardillo previously pled guilty to charges of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud in a related criminal case, United States v. Michael Cardillo, 11-CR-0078 (S.D.N.Y.), and is awaiting sentencing. [SEC v. Michael Cardillo, Civil Action No. 11-CV-0549 (S.D.N.Y.) (RJS)] (LR-22051); (Administrative Proceeding - Rel. IA-3249; File No. 3-14479) In the Matter of John N. Irwin (CPA)On July 21, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Rule 102(e) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against John N. Irwin (Irwin), a certified public accountant licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Order finds that on July 12, 2011, a Judgment was entered against Irwin permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, and granting other relief, in a civil action filed by the Commission in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The Order also finds that the Complaint filed in that civil action alleged that Irwin made materially false and misleading statements to investors in connection with a Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Joseph Forte (Forte) who, from 1995 through 2008, operated the scheme through Forte, LP (the Fund), a limited partnership he established with Irwin’s assistance. Forte’s Ponzi scheme ended in January 2009 following the Commission’s filing of an emergency action charging Forte and the Fund with fraudulently raising over $50 million from approximately 80 investors. The Commission’s Complaint alleged that, in connection with the scheme, Irwin made materially false and misleading statements to investors about, among other things, the Fund’s current value and growth, historical positive performance, and trading strategy. In addition, the Complaint alleged that Irwin failed to disclose to investors that he was receiving a percentage of Forte’s fees as compensation for helping to establish the Fund. Based on the above, the Order suspends Irwin from appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant. Irwin consented to the entry of the Order without admitting or denying the findings. For further information, please see Litigation Release Number 22033. (Rel. 34-64941; AAE Rel. 3305; File No. 3-14480) In the Matter of Glenn R. HarrisOn July 21, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Glenn R. Harris (Harris). The Order finds that from August 18, 2004 through December 31, 2008, Harris was a registered representative at Advanced Planning Securities, Inc., a broker-dealer that was registered with the Commission from at least June 1, 2004 until December 31, 2008. The Order further finds that on July 12, 2011, a final judgment was entered by consent against Harris, permanently enjoining him from violating Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933 in the civil action entitled SEC v. Charles C. Slowey et al., Civil Action Number 09 Civ. 4547 (LDW) (ETB), in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The Order finds that the Commission’s complaint in that action alleges that, from approximately March 2004 through August 2006, Harris offered and sold securities for which there was no registration statement in effect and for which no exemption from the registration requirements applied. The Order bars Harris from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating agency, and from participating in any offering of a penny stock, with the right to apply for reentry after eighteen months to the appropriate self-regulatory organization, or if there is none, to the Commission. Harris consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except admitted to the Commission’s jurisdiction over him and the entry of the injunction. (Rel. 34-64942; File No. 3-14481) In the Matter of Benjamin W. Young, Jr.On July 21, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Notice of Hearing against Benjamin W. Young, Jr. The Order finds that on July 5, 2011, a final judgment was entered by consent against Young in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Navigators International Management Co. Ltd., et al., Civil Action Number H-07-4518, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The judgment permanently enjoined Young from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Commission’s complaint alleged that from at least January 2005 through sometime in 2007, Young and Navigators International Management Co., Ltd., engaged in three unregistered offerings of securities that did not meet registration exemptions. The complaint also alleged that Young acted as an unregistered broker-dealer, that he disseminated materially false and misleading information to attract investors and to facilitate the offerings, and that he engaged in transactions, practices, and courses of business which operated as a fraud or deceit upon the purchasers of securities. A hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge to determine whether the allegations in the Order are true, to provide Young an opportunity to respond to these allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest. The Order directed the Administrative Law Judge to issue an initial decision within 210 days from the date of service of the Order. (Rel. 34-64943; File No. 3-14482) In the Matter of Patricia Diane GruberOn July 21, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Patricia Diane Gruber (Gruber). The Order finds that Gruber was the managing member of Elite Resources LLC (Elite) and the director of Elite3 Holding Corp (Elite3). Gruber acted as unregistered broker-dealer by representing to investors that they could acquire bank guarantees in exchange for a percentage of the face value of the guarantee or for a fee. On June 23, 2011, a judgment was entered by consent against Gruber, permanently enjoining her from future violations of Sections 5(a) and (c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Elite Resources, et al., Civil Action Number 1:10-CV-3522, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The Order finds that the Commission’s complaint alleged the following facts: From at least April 8, 2010 through at least August 20, 2010, Gruber, along with her co-defendant Kadar M. Josey, and the companies they operated, Elite and Elite3, raised approximately $2.85 million from at least nine investors. In raising these funds, the defendants represented that investors could draw upon bank issued guarantees worth millions of dollars, in one case representing a 40,000% return on investment, without having to repay the withdrawn funds. The defendants further represented that investor funds would be held in escrow until the bank guarantees were issued. Both of these representations were false in that no such bank guarantees existed and that defendants used almost all of the funds for several undisclosed purposes immediately upon receipt. When investors demanded performance, the defendants provided them with a fictitious guarantee certificate purportedly issued by Barclays Bank. Based on the above, the Order bars Gruber from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization and from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock. Gruber consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except he admitted the entry of the injunction.
