SEC Penalizes Investment Advisers For Compliance Failures

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged three investment advisers for failing to put in place compliance procedures designed to prevent securities law violations.

The cases stem from an initiative within the SEC Enforcement Division’s Asset Management Unit to proactively prevent investor harm by working closely with agency examiners to ensure that viable compliance programs are in place at firms.  Investment advisers are required by law to adopt and implement written compliance policies and procedures.  When SEC examiners identify deficiencies in a firm’s compliance program, those deficiencies need to be corrected before they lead to other securities law violations that could harm investors.  Investment advisers that essentially ignore SEC examination warnings risk being the subject of SEC enforcement actions.

The firms being charged with compliance failures in separate cases today are Utah-based OMNI Investment Advisors Inc., Minneapolis-based Feltl & Company Inc., and Troy, Mich.-based Asset Advisors LLC.  The SEC also charged OMNI’s owner Gary R. Beynon, who served as the firm’s chief compliance officer despite living in Brazil and performing virtually no compliance responsibilities.  Feltl & Company, Asset Advisors, and Beynon will pay financial penalties and institute a series of corrective measures to settle the SEC’s charges.

In two of the cases – OMNI and Asset Advisors – SEC examiners previously warned the firms about their compliance deficiencies. 

“Not all compliance failures result in fraud, but many frauds take root in compliance deficiencies,” said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.  “That simple truth underlies our renewed focus on identifying and charging firms and individuals that fail their legal obligations to maintain adequate compliance programs.”

Carlo di Florio, Director of the SEC’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, added, “When SEC examiners identify compliance deficiencies, firms are expected to remediate them.  The Commission will take enforcement action against registrants that fail to do so.”

Under Rule 206(4)-7 of the Investment Advisers Act, which is known as the “Compliance Rule,” registered investment advisers are required to adopt and implement written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to prevent, detect, and correct securities law violations.  The Compliance Rule also requires annual review of the policies and procedures for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation, and designation of a chief compliance officer to be responsible for administering the policies and procedures.  

“The failure to adopt and maintain adequate compliance policies and procedures is a significant violation of the federal securities laws,” said Robert Kaplan, Co-Chief of the SEC Division of Enforcement’s Asset Management Unit.  “We will continue to work with our counterparts in the national exam program to identify investment advisers that put their investors at risk by failing to take their compliance obligations seriously.”

OMNI Investment Advisors and Gary R. Beynon

According to the SEC’s order in the case against OMNI and Beynon, the firm failed to adopt and implement written compliance policies and procedures after SEC examiners informed OMNI of its deficiencies.  Between September 2008 and August 2011, OMNI had no compliance program and its advisory representatives were completely unsupervised.  Beynon assumed the chief compliance officer responsibilities in November 2010 while living abroad.

OMNI failed to establish, maintain, and enforce a written code of ethics, and failed to maintain and preserve certain books and records.  In response to a subpoena, OMNI produced client advisory agreements with Beynon’s signature evidencing his supervisory approval when, in fact, Beynon had never reviewed the agreements.  Beynon backdated his signature on those agreements one day before the documents were produced to the Commission. 

Under the settlement, Beynon agreed to pay a $50,000 penalty.  He also agreed to be permanently barred from acting within the securities industry in any compliance or supervisory capacity and from associating with any investment company.  Additionally, as part of the settlement, OMNI agreed to provide a copy of the proceeding to all of its former clients between September 2008 and August 2011.

Feltl & Company, Inc.

According to the SEC’s order against Feltl & Company, the firm failed to adopt and implement written compliance policies and procedures for its growing advisory business.  It further neglected to adopt a code of ethics and collect the required securities disclosure reports from its staff.  As a result of its compliance failures, Feltl engaged in hundreds of principal transactions with its advisory clients’ accounts without informing them or obtaining their consent as required by law.  Feltl also improperly charged undisclosed commissions on certain transactions in clients’ wrap fee accounts.

Under the settlement, Feltl & Company agreed to pay a penalty of $50,000 and return more than $142,000 to certain advisory clients.  Additionally, the firm will hire an independent consultant to review its compliance operations annually for two years, provide a copy of the SEC’s order to past, present and future clients, and prominently post a summary of the order on its website.

Asset Advisors LLC

According to the SEC’s order against Asset Advisors, SEC examiners found that the firm had failed to adopt and implement a compliance program.  After SEC examiners brought it to the firm’s attention, Asset Advisors adopted policies and procedures but never fully implemented them.  Similarly, Asset Advisors only adopted a code of ethics at the behest of the SEC exam staff and then failed to adequately abide by the code. 

Under the settlement, Asset Advisors agreed to pay a $20,000 penalty, cease operations, de-register with the Commission, and – with clients’ consent – move advisory accounts to a firm with an established compliance program.

Feltl & Company, Asset Advisors, OMNI Investment Advisors and Beynon did not admit or deny the allegations.  In addition to the penalties, they all consented to cease-and-desist orders and agreed to be censured.

Investigations related to the Asset Management Unit’s compliance program initiative are continuing. (Press Rel. 2011-248; Rels. 34-65837; IA-3323; IC-29873; File No. 3-14643; 34-65838; IA-3325; IC-29875; File No. 3-14645; IA-3324; IC-29874; File No. 3-14644)

Notice of Effectiveness of Rating and Investment Information, Inc.'s ("R&I") Withdrawal from Registration as a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization ("NRSRO")

On September 24, 2007, the Commission issued an order granting the registration of R&I as an NRSRO in the following classes of credit ratings: (1) financial institutions; (2) insurance companies; (3) corporate issuers; (4) issuers of asset-backed securities; and (5) issuers of government securities.

On May 14, 2010, R&I furnished to the Commission on Form NRSRO a notice of withdrawal from registration in the category of issuers of asset-backed securities. Pursuant to Rule 17g-1 under the Exchange Act, R&I’s withdrawal from registration in the category of issuers of asset-backed securities became effective on June 28, 2010, 45 days after the notice was furnished to the Commission.

On October 13, 2011, R&I furnished to the Commission on Form NRSRO a notice of withdrawal from registration as an NRSRO. Pursuant to Rule 17g-1 under the Exchange Act, R&I’s withdrawal from registration as an NRSRO became effective on November 27, 2011, 45 days after the notice was furnished to the Commission.

Therefore, as of November 27, 2011, R&I is no longer registered with the Commission as an NRSRO.

Enforcement Proceedings

In the Matter of Charles L. Rizzo and Gina M. Hornbogen

On November 28, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Section 15(b)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Order) against Charles L. Rizzo (Rizzo) and Gina M. Hornbogen (Hornbogen).

In the Order the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that Rizzo and Hornbogen failed reasonably to supervise Steven Salutric (Salutric), who, while acting as an investment adviser for Results One Financial, LLC, misappropriated $7 million from fifteen of his advisory clients. The Division alleges that between 2004 and 2009, Rizzo and Hornbogen failed to investigate numerous serious red flags indicating misconduct by Salutric while permitting his continued access to his victims’ accounts. For example, the Division alleges that Charles Schwab & Co. alerted Rizzo and Hornbogen to numerous suspicious transactions in Salutric client accounts, including a forged client signature. The Division also alleges that Rizzo was concerned that Salutric might be operating a Ponzi scheme in connection with these transactions. The Division also alleges that Results One’s attorney advised Rizzo and Hornbogen to contact all clients who were affected by the suspicious transactions, but that they ignored this advice.

A hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the Order are true, and to provide the Respondents an opportunity to dispute these allegations, and to determine what, if any, remedial sanctions are appropriate and in the public interest.

The Order requires the Administrative Law Judge to issue an initial decision no later than 300 days from the date of service of this Order, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. (Rels. 34-65829; IA-3321; File No. 3-14641)

Securities and Exchange Commission Orders Hearing on Registration Suspension or Revocation Against Five Public Companies For Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

Today the Commission instituted public administrative proceedings to determine whether to revoke or suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months the registrations of each class of the securities of five companies for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission:

  • AEC, I, Inc.
  • Aegir Ventures, Inc.
  • American Toy Vending, Inc.
  • Biometric Security Corp. (a/k/a Pender Financial Group Corp.)
  • Bridge-It Corp.

In this Order, the Division of Enforcement (Division) alleges that the five issuers are delinquent in their required periodic filings with the Commission.

In this proceeding, instituted pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(j), a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At the hearing, the Administrative Law Judge will hear evidence from the Division and the Respondents to determine whether the allegations of the Division contained in the Order, which the Division alleges constitute failures to comply with Exchange Act Section 13(a) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 or 13a-16 thereunder, are true. The Administrative Law Judge in the proceeding will then determine whether the registrations pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 of each class of the securities of these Respondents should be revoked or suspended for a period not exceeding twelve months. The Commission ordered that the Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding issue an initial decision not later than 120 days from the date of service of the order instituting proceedings. (Rel. 34-65839; File No. 3-14646)

Court Enters Judgments as to Final Defendants in SEC Litigation against Denver Stock Promotion Firm and other Alleged Participants in Back-to-Back Pump-and-Dump Schemes

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that on November 9, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado entered final judgments, in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission v. The Regency Group, et al., Civil Action No. 09-CV-497 (D. Colo. filed Mar. 9, 2009), as to defendants John J. Coutris; Michael J. Coutris; J. Coutris Partners, LP (JC Partners); Joseph S. Fernando; and Wellington Capital Enterprises, Inc. In conjunction with settled final judgments entered previously by the court against defendants Scott F. Gelbard; Jeffrey S. Koslosky; Aaron S. Lamkin; The Regency Group, LLC; James J. Coutris; and Dimitrios I. Gountis, these judgments bring to a close the Commission’s litigation against alleged participants in back-to-back pump-and-dump schemes involving the stocks of biotech startup Xpention Genetics, Inc. and surveillance startup HS3 Technologies, Inc.

The SEC’s Complaint, filed March 9, 2009, alleged that Gelbard, Lamkin, Koslosky, and their limited-liability company, Regency, arranged “reverse mergers” between Xpention and HS3 and two shell companies, followed by unregistered distributions of Xpention and HS3 stock undertaken by Gelbard, Lamkin, Koslosky, Regency, John Coutris, Michael Coutris, and John and Michael Coutris’s limited partnership, JC Partners. The Complaint further alleged that Gelbard, Lamkin, Regency, Canadian Joseph S. Fernando, and Fernando’s U.S. corporation, Wellington, subsequently orchestrated fraudulent promotional campaigns for Xpention and HS3 stock, and that these defendants sold shares into the promotions.

The November 9, 2011 judgment against John Coutris, Michael Coutris, and JC Partners: (1) orders John Coutris to disgorge his ill-gotten gains of $63,061, plus prejudgment interest of $27,313.72, and pay a civil penalty of $15,000; (2) orders Michael Coutris to disgorge his ill-gotten gains of $26,855, plus prejudgment interest of $11,631.69, and pay a civil penalty of $15,000; (3) orders JC partners to disgorge its ill-gotten gains of $86,423, plus prejudgment interest of $37,432.51; and (4) incorporates prior injunctions entered by the court on July 21, 2010, pursuant to partial settlements with John Coutris, Michael Coutris, and JC Partners under which they neither admitted nor denied liability. These injunctions, as incorporated into the final judgment, prohibit John Coutris, Michael Coutris, and JC Partners from violating Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 15(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The court’s judgment against Fernando and Wellington: (1) enjoins them from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; (2) bars them from participating in an offering of a penny stock; (3) orders Fernando to disgorge his ill-gotten gains of $1,863,708, plus prejudgment interest of $655,473.32, and pay a civil penalty of $100,000; and (4) orders Wellington to disgorge its ill-gotten gains of $182,986 plus prejudgment interest of $63,934.51

Settled final judgments previously entered by the court against the other defendants in this action, pursuant to which they neither admitted nor denied liability, have provided the following relief:

  • On October 31, 2011, the court enjoined Lamkin and Regency from violating Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b), 13(d), 15(a)(1) and 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 10b-5, 13d-1, 13d-2, and 16a-3 thereunder. The court also barred them from participating in an offering of a penny stock, ordered Lamkin to disgorge ill-gotten gains of $100,000 and pay a civil penalty of $20,000, and ordered Regency to disgorge ill-gotten gains of $54,758 plus prejudgment interest of $19,750.92.
  • On July 26, 2011, the court enjoined Gelbard and Koslosky from violating Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act and Sections 13(d) and 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 13d-1, 13d-2, and 16a-3 thereunder. The court also barred them both from participating in an offering of a penny stock, and further enjoined Gelbard from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 15(a)(1) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The court ordered Gelbard to disgorge ill-gotten gains of $250,000 and pay a civil penalty of $100,000, and ordered Koslosky to disgorge ill-gotten gains of $75,000 and pay a civil penalty of $25,000.
  • On April 21, 2010, the court enjoined James Coutris from violating Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Commission did not seek a civil penalty from James Coutris, based upon representations of his financial condition and other documents and information submitted to the Commission.
  • On April 14, 2009, the court enjoined Dimitrios Gountis from violating Sections 13(d) and 16(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 13d-1, 13d-2, and 16a-3 thereunder, and order him to pay a civil penalty of $20,000.

Additionally, the Commission has issued Orders Instituting Administrative Proceedings against Lamkin, Regency, Gelbard, John Coutris, Michael Coutris, and JC Partners barring them from association with any broker or dealer, based on the district court injunctions entered against them. Each of the respondents consented to the issuance of the Orders without admitting or denying the findings in the Orders, except as to the entry of the civil injunctions against them.

In March 2009, as announced at the time that the Commission filed the district court action, the Commission issued Orders against Xpention (then known as Cancer Detection Corp.) and HS3 requiring them to cease and desist from violating Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act. Cancer Detection Corp. and HS3 agreed to settle the proceedings, without admitting or denying the findings in the Commission’s Orders.
