thereunder, �in �the �civil action entitled SEC v. David W. Knall, No.
1:07-cv-1562, �in �the �United �States District Court for the Southern

IN �THE �MATTER �OF �NATIONAL INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. AND DOUGLAS A.
JIMERSON
On ��December ��27, ��the ��Commission ��issued ��an Order Instituting
Administrative �and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings, Making Findings, and
Imposing �Remedial �Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order Pursuant to
Section �21C �of �the �Securities �Exchange �Act �of 1934 and Sections
203(e), �203(f), �and �203(k) �of �the Investment Advisors Act of 1940
(Order) �against �National �Investment �Advisors, �Inc. �(NIA) and its
principal, �Douglas �A. Jimerson (Jimerson). The Order finds that from
2002 �to 2005, NIA and Jimerson offered three investment programs that
purported �to �guarantee �investors �against loss of principal if they
kept �their �assets under NIA's management for a fixed period of time.
In �actuality, �each �"insured" �management �program either lacked the
appropriate �insurance, �or �lacked �insurance �entirely, �to �protect
investors �against �loss �of �principal. �In �the first version of the
program, �Jimerson �failed �to �acquire �any �insurance �whatsoever to
support �NIA's �insured �management �program. �In �the �following �two
versions, Jimerson acquired errors and omissions insurance and falsely
marketed �those �policies as being able to protect investors against a
loss of principal. Additionally, NIA, which was managed by Jimerson at
all �relevant �times, �failed �to �disclose �to �its �clients material
information �regarding �its precarious financial condition and did not
maintain �certain �books �and �records �required �under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940.
Based �on �the above, the Order requires NIA and Jimerson to cease and
desist �from �committing �or �causing �any �violations �and any future
violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule �10b-5 �thereunder, and Sections 204, 206(1), 206(2), 206(4), and
207 �of �the �Investment �Advisers Act of 1940 and Rules 204-1, 204-2,
206(4)-1, �and �206(4)-4 �thereunder; revokes NIA's registration as an
investment �adviser; �and �bars �Jimerson �from �association �with any
investment �adviser. NIA and Jimerson consented to the issuance of the
Order �without �admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order.

SEC v. NAVIGATORS INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CO., LTD., JAMES R. SPURGER
AND BENJAMIN W. YOUNG, JR.
The �Commission �announced that on December 26 it filed a civil action
in �U.S. �District �Court for the Southern District of Texas, charging
Navigators �International �Management Co., Ltd. (Navigators), James R.
Spurger �and �Benjamin W. Young, Jr. with securities fraud, conducting
unregistered �securities �offerings and acting as unregistered broker-
dealers.
The ��Commission's �complaint �alleges �that �Navigators, �a �Bahamian
company, �through �its �U.S. �citizen �principals �Spurger �and Young,
orchestrated �two �fraudulent securities offerings. The complaint also
claims �that �Navigators, �through Spurger and Young, is conducting an
ongoing offering of unregistered securities.
According �to �the �complaint, �in �late 2005, Navigators, Spurger and
Young �solicited �investors �to �participate �in �an �unregistered and
fraudulent �bond �funding �program �whereby over $1 million was raised
from �investors and pooled to purchase a bond. The bond was to be used
to �secure �a �larger �line of credit, which investors were told would
fund �the �repayment �of �their �principal �and provide large returns.
However, �the �bond that was purchased turned out to be a counterfeit,
and �the �investors �have �not received any of the promised profits or
return of principal.
The �complaint �also �alleges �that �in the summer of 2007, Navigators
offered �stock �in �an unaffiliated company through the Internet. This
offering �was �not registered and included material misrepresentations
about ��the �issuer's �current �and �future �business �contracts. �The
complaint �further �alleges �that �Navigators is conducting an ongoing
unregistered �offering �through �the �sale �ZCASH �electronic �tokens.
Navigators �promises �purchasers �exorbitant �returns and rebates when
ZCASH �is �used �to �purchase various items on a Navigators-controlled
website.
The �Commission's complaint alleges that one or more of the defendants
acted �as �unregistered �brokers �in each of these three offerings and
that they violated Sections 5(a), 5(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 �thereunder. �The �Commission �seeks a judgment
permanently �enjoining �the defendants from violating these provisions
of �the �securities laws and ordering all three to pay civil penalties
and �provide �an �accounting �of, �and disgorge, ill-gotten gains with
prejudgment interest. [SEC v. Navigators International Management Co.,
Ltd., �James �R. Spurger and Benjamin W. Young, Jr., Case No. 4:07-cv-
04518 (S.D. Texas)] (LR-20416)
COURT ���ENTERS �FINAL �JUDGMENT �AGAINST �FORMER �RESTAURANT �COMPANY
EXECUTIVES
On �December 21, the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota
entered �Final �Judgments �against �Greg �A. Gadel (Gadel), the former
Chief �Financial �Officer, and Daniel J. Skrypek (Skrypek), the former
Controller, �of Buca, Inc. (Buca), the corporate parent of the Buca di
Beppo national restaurant chain. The Final Judgments, entered pursuant
to �Gadel's �and �Skrypek's �consents, �permanently �enjoin �them from
violating the antifraud, proxy, reporting, internal controls and books
and �records �provisions �of �the �federal �securities laws. The Final
Judgment �against �Gadel �also �bars �him from acting as an officer or
director �of a public company. The Final Judgment against Skrypek also
orders �him to pay a $50,000 civil penalty and bars him from acting as
an officer or director of a public company for five years.
The �Commission's complaint, filed on June 7, 2006, alleged that, from
2000 �to �2003, �Gadel �received �approximately $96,630 in undisclosed
compensation, �including reimbursements that he obtained from Buca for
family �vacations �and visits to strip clubs. Skrypek approved Gadel's
improper �reimbursement �requests �and both Gadel and Skrypek approved
improper �reimbursement �requests �for �Buca's former CEO resulting in
over �$849,000 �in �undisclosed �compensation �to �the former CEO. The
complaint further alleged that Gadel and Skrypek knew of and failed to
ensure �disclosure �of a series of related party transactions totaling
more �than �$1 �million �between �Buca �and �an information technology
company �of �which �Gadel was a director and shareholder. Finally, the
Commission's ��complaint �alleged �that �Gadel �directed �and �Skrypek
participated �in �a course of conduct whereby Buca inflated its income
by �nearly �$12 �million �from �2000 �to �2004 �through �the �improper
capitalization �of �numerous �expenses. The financial fraud alleged in
the �complaint �caused �Buca to overstate its annual income in amounts
ranging from 18.8% to 36.9%.
In June 2006, the Commission filed a settled injunctive action against
Buca's �former �CEO �and �the complaint against Gadel and Skrypek. See
Litigation �Release �numbers �19719 and 19720 (June 7, 2006). On Sept.
27, �2007 �the �Commission �filed �a �settled �civil injunctive action
against �Buca, �Inc., �relating �to �the �same �conduct. �For �further
information see Litigation Release number 20312 (Sept. 28, 2007). [SEC
v. �Greg A. Gadel and Daniel J. Skrypek., Civil Action No. 06-CV-2320,
