Enforcement Proceedings

In the Matter of James M. Peister

On September 23, 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 James M. Peister.

The Order finds that on September 15, 2011 the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered final judgment by consent against Mr. Peister permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 17(a)(1), 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) 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 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-8 thereunder, in a civil action titled Securities and Exchange Commission v. James M. Peister, et al., 2:11-cv-03386-JFB-AKT. The Commission’s complaint in that action alleges that Mr. Peister, who controlled all the operations and activities of the North American Globex Fund (Fund), intentionally overstated the assets of the Fund, and in so doing he (1) provided investors and prospective investors with materially false and misleading sales materials, (2) issued materially false and misleading account statement to Fund investors, and (3) issued materially false and misleading financial statements.

Based on the above, the Order bars James Peister from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent. James Peister consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except he admitted to the entry of the injunction. (Rel. IA-3287; File No. 3-14561)

In the Matter of Manuel Lopez-Tarre

On September 23, 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 Manuel Lopez-Tarre. The Order finds that Lopez-Tarre was the chief compliance officer of FTC Capital Markets, Inc. (FTC), previously a registered broker-dealer that, together with its owner, Guillermo Clamens, and Lina Lopez, an FTC employee, is the subject of a settled civil injunctive action. Clamens and Lopez fraudulently engaged in tens of millions of dollars of unauthorized (and undisclosed) securities trading in the accounts of two FTC customers, ultimately causing those customers to lose $22 million. Clamens and Lopez repeatedly provided the customers with fake account statements and trade confirmations to conceal the fraud. Lopez-Tarre failed to follow the firm’s established procedures for reviewing Clamens’ customer accounts and correspondence, including e-mail correspondence, and failed to respond to several red flags that should have alerted him to the fraud.

Based on the above, the Order bars Manual Lopez-Tarre from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization in a supervisory capacity, with a right to reapply after one year. Manuel Lopez-Tarre consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order. (Rel. 34-65391; File No. 3-14562)

In the Matter of Bruce F. Prévost and David W. Harrold

On September 23, 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 Bruce F. Prévost (Prévost) and David W. Harrold (Harrold). The Order finds that according to allegations in the Commission’s related civil injunctive action, entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Bruce F. Prévost, David W. Harrold, Palm Beach Capital Management LP, and Palm Beach Capital Management LLC, No. 0:10-cv-04235-PAM-SRN (D. Minn.), from 2004 until at least as late as June 2008, Prévost and Harrold allegedly operated and associated with an investment adviser to two private funds – the Palm Beach Funds – that invested in a Ponzi scheme operated by Thomas J. Petters (Petters). Prévost and Harrold allegedly misled the Palm Beach Funds, including their investors, by, among other things, engaging in several improper note exchange transactions with Petters, the purpose of which was to conceal that Petters was not able to make payments on investments held by the Palm Beach Funds. At the same time, Prévost and Harrold allegedly continued to inaccurately report, in monthly communications, that the Palm Beach Funds were generating the same steady profits that they had generated from their inceptions; those overstated rates of return allegedly resulted in the payment of excessive management fees and performance allocations to Prévost and Harrold. In the related civil action, a Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief was entered against Prévost and Harrold, permanently enjoining them from future violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

Based on the above, the Order bars Bruce F. Prévost and David W. Harrold from being associated with an investment adviser, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Prévost and Harrold consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except that they admitted that a Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief was entered against them by the district court, permanently enjoining them from future violations of Sections 17(a)(1), 17(a)(2), and 17(a)(3) 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 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206-4(8). (Rel. IA-3288; File No. 3-14563)

In the Matter of Magic Lantern Group, Inc., Map VII Acquisition, Inc., Memotec Communications, Inc., Millstream II Acquisition Corp., Modena 3, Inc., and North American Energy of Delaware, Inc. (n/k/a Ora Electronics, Inc.)

An Administrative Law Judge has issued an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registrations by Default (Default Order) as to Magic Lantern Group, Inc., Map VII Acquisition, Inc., Memotec Communications, Inc., Millstream II Acquisition Corp., Modena 3, Inc., and North American Energy of Delaware, Inc. (n/k/a Ora Electronics, Inc.) (collectively, Respondents), in Magic Lantern Group, Inc., Admin. Proc. No. 3-14512. The Order Instituting Proceedings alleged that Respondents repeatedly failed to file required annual and quarterly reports while their securities were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Default Order finds these allegations to be true as to Respondents and revokes the registrations of each class of their registered securities, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. (Rel. 34-65392; File No. 3-14512)

Commission Charges San Francisco-Area Men in Schemes Offering Investment Returns as High as 6,300 Percent

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged two San Francisco-area men with fraud for offering investors extraordinary returns as high as 6,300 percent when instead their money was spent on multi-million dollar home improvements and other luxuries.

The SEC alleges that Jason G. Rivera, Jr., Marc C. Harmon, and two companies controlled by Rivera raised nearly $8 million from investors in two separate schemes, one involving purported trading in gold and diamonds and the other involving purported trading in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). However, the funds raised from investors weren’t used for those purposes as Rivera diverted most of the money for his personal exploits, including a $360,000 surprise birthday party for his wife.

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in San Francisco, Rivera previously worked in real estate and portrayed himself to investors as a successful financier. He raised approximately $4.5 million from investors in 2007 and 2008 through his company, the Joseph Rene Corporation (JRC). He touted JRC as a route to “financial freedom” and “maximum results with minimum risk” in a brochure he distributed to investors, assuring them high returns by pooling investor money and placing it in “hard assets” such as real estate, oil, diamonds, and gold. However, as Rivera instead spent investor money as his own and was unable to make payments to investors as promised, he tried to placate them with falsehoods. For example, Rivera claimed in a June 2008 e-mail to JRC investors that glitches in the banking system had delayed their payouts, but “your money is still making money.” In a follow-up e-mail, he maintained that despite the worldwide financial downturn, JRC was “thriving,” had “lost NO money,” and all investor funds were “safe.”

The SEC alleges that Rivera later teamed up with Harmon, an unemployed construction worker at the time who had no training or experience in selling or managing investment programs. Together they raised an additional $3.2 million from 2008 to 2010 through a second company, Executive Members Management Group (EMMG). Rivera and Harmon led investors to believe they could make rapid profits of up to 6,300 percent by investing in trading programs involving CMOs and other financial instruments. Specifically, Harmon falsely claimed that EMMG used “licensed traders” and “trading platforms,” and he falsely boasted to investors that extremely wealthy individuals had invested millions of dollars with EMMG. Harmon even lied to several investors about a phony trip he took to the United Kingdom in an effort to place their money in a trading program.

In both schemes, the SEC alleges that Rivera used investor funds to afford such personal luxuries as several Mercedes Benz automobiles, jewelry, restaurant meals, and basketball season tickets. Rivera misused investor funds in the JRC scheme to pay for approximately $1.5 million in improvements to his 8,000-square foot home in Alamo, Calif. He later misused investor funds in the EMMG scheme to make $1.1 million in additional improvements to his home. Rivera also paid approximately $180,000 to Harmon.

The complaint charges Rivera, Harmon, JRC, and EMMG 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 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaint also charges Rivera with violating Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Harmon with violating Section 15(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement with prejudgment interest, and civil monetary penalties.

The case was investigated by Thomas Eme and Tracy Davis of the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office. The SEC’s litigation efforts will be led by Susan LaMarca. [SEC v. Jason George Rivera, Jr., Marc Christopher Harmon, The Joseph Rene Corporation, and Executive Members Management Group, Civil Case No. CV-11-4741 JSC (N.D. Calif.)] (LR-22103)
