(Rel. 34-66607) SEC Charges Chicago-Based Management Consultant With Insider TradingThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a Chicago-based management consultant with insider trading based on confidential information about his client’s impending takeover of a Long Island-based vitamin company. The SEC alleges that Sherif Mityas and others at his global management consulting firm were retained by Washington, D.C.-based private equity firm The Carlyle Group to provide strategic advice related to the acquisition of NBTY Inc. That same month, Mityas purchased NBTY stock and subsequently tipped a relative who also bought NBTY shares. After Carlyle publicly announced its acquisition of NBTY, Mityas and his relative sold their NBTY stock for a combined profit of nearly $38,000. Mityas, who is a partner and vice president at the firm, has agreed to pay more than $78,000 to settle the SEC’s charges. In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York today announced the unsealing of criminal charges against Mityas. “Mityas was entrusted with highly confidential information but, driven by greed, he violated that trust and jeopardized a successful consulting career for the chance to make a quick buck,” said Sanjay Wadhwa, Deputy Chief of the SEC’s Market Abuse Unit and Associate Director of the New York Regional Office. “Corporate transactions such as mergers and acquisitions demand confidentiality until they become public, and not just from company employees but also from the lawyers, accountants, consultants, and others who work on the deals.” According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Mityas’s firm was retained by Carlyle in May 2010. Only five days after being told during a May 17 conference call that NBTY was Carlyle’s acquisition target, Mityas moved $50,000 from a bank account he shared with a relative into a brokerage account they shared. On May 27, he transferred $49,000 from that brokerage account to a different relative’s brokerage account that he controlled as custodian, and then used those funds to purchase 1,300 shares of NBTY at a cost of more than $44,000. On July 7, based on a tip from Mityas, yet another relative bought 440 shares of NBTY stock. That same relative bought an additional 210 shares on July 14. Carlyle’s acquisition of NBTY was publicly announced the following day. Mityas sold all of his shares only three hours after the announcement was made, for an illegal profit of $25,896. The relative held the shares purchased on July 7 and 14 through the completion of the merger, and sold all of the shares on October 1 for an illicit profit of $12,035. The SEC’s complaint charges Mityas with violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. The settlement, which is subject to court approval, would require Mityas to pay disgorgement of his and his relative’s ill-gotten gains totaling $37,931, plus prejudgment interest of $2,375.39, and a penalty of $37,931. The settlement also would bar Mityas from serving as an officer or director of a public company and permanently enjoin him from future violations of these provisions of the federal securities laws. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Daniel R. Marcus and Amelia A. Cottrell – members of the SEC’s Market Abuse Unit in New York – and Layla Mayer of the SEC’s New York Regional Office. The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The SEC’s investigation is continuing. (Press Rel. 2012-44; (LR-22293) SEC Charges Bay Area Investment Adviser For Defrauding Investors With Bogus Audit ReportThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a San Francisco-area investment adviser with defrauding investors by giving them a bogus audit report that embellished the financial performance of the fund in which they were investing. The SEC alleges that James Michael Murray raised more than $4.5 million from investors in his various funds including Market Neutral Trading LLC (MNT), a purported hedge fund that claimed to invest primarily in domestic equities. Murray provided MNT investors with a report purportedly prepared by independent auditor Jones, Moore & Associates (JMA). However, JMA is not a legitimate accounting firm but rather a shell company that Murray secretly created and controlled. The phony audit report misstated the financial condition and performance of MNT to investors.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California also has filed criminal charges against Murray in a complaint unsealed yesterday. According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in San Francisco, Murray began raising the funds from investors in 2008. The following year, MNT distributed the phony audit report to investors claiming the audit was conducted by a legitimate third-party accounting firm. However, JMA is not registered or licensed as an accounting firm in Delaware, where it purports to do business. JMA’s website was paid for by a Murray-controlled entity and listed 12 professionals with specific degrees and licenses who supposedly work for JMA. However, at least five of these professionals do not exist, including the two named principals of the firm: “Richard Jones” and “Joseph Moore.” Murray has attempted to open brokerage accounts in the name of JMA, identified himself as JMA’s chief financial officer, and called brokerage firms falsely claiming to be the principal identified on most JMA documents. The SEC alleges that the bogus audit report provided to investors understated the costs of MNT’s investments and thus overstated the fund’s investment gains by approximately 90 percent. The JMA audit report also overstated MNT’s income by approximately 35 percent, its member capital by approximately 18 percent, and its total assets by approximately 10 percent. The SEC’s complaint charges Murray with violating an SEC rule prohibiting fraud by investment advisers on investors in a pooled investment vehicle. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and financial penalties from Murray. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Karen Kreuzkamp and Robert S. Leach of the San Francisco Regional Office following an examination of MNT conducted by Yvette Panetta and Doreen Piccirillo of the New York Regional Office’s broker-dealer examination program. The SEC’s litigation will be led by Robert L. Mitchell of the San Francisco Regional Office. The SEC thanks the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California and the U.S. Secret Service for their assistance in this matter. (Press Rel. 2012-45) SEC Charges Senior Executives at California-Based Firm in Stock Lending SchemeThe Securities and Exchange Commission today charged two senior executives and their California-based firm with defrauding officers and directors at publicly-traded companies in an elaborate $8 million stock lending scheme. The SEC alleges that Argyll Investments LLC’s purported stock-collateralized loan business is merely a fraud perpetrated by James T. Miceli and Douglas A. McClain, Jr. to acquire publicly traded stock from corporate officers and directors at a discounted price from market value, separately sell the shares for full market value in order to fund the loan, and use the remaining proceeds from the sale of the collateral for their own personal benefit. Miceli, McClain, and Argyll typically lied to borrowers by explicitly telling them that their collateral would not be sold unless a default occurred. However, since Argyll had no independent source of funds other than the borrowers’ collateral, Argyll often sold the collateral prior to closing the loan and then used the proceeds to fund it. “Miceli and McClain thought they had devised a foolproof way to make substantial risk-free profits, but their purported business model was nothing more than an illegal get-rich-quick scheme,” said Scott W. Friestad, Associate Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. Also charged in the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California is a broker through which Argyll attracted potential borrowers. The SEC alleges that AmeriFund Capital Finance LLC and its owner Jeffrey Spanier violated the federal securities laws by brokering numerous transactions for Argyll while not registered with the SEC. The SEC alleges that Miceli and McClain induced at least nine corporate officers and directors since 2009 to transfer ownership of millions of shares of stock to Argyll as collateral for purported loans. Miceli and McClain promised to return the stock to the borrowers when the loans were repaid. However, rather than retaining the collateral shares as required, they sold the shares without the borrowers’ knowledge before or soon after funding the loans. In many cases, they used the proceeds from the collateral sales to fund the loans. Because Argyll typically loaned the borrowers 30 to 50 percent less than the current market value of the shares, the company retained substantial proceeds even after funding the loans. As a result of the scheme, Argyll reaped more than $8 million in unlawful gains that Miceli and McClain used in part toward their personal expenses. In addition to the fraud charges against Miceli, McClain, and Argyll, the SEC alleges that they violated the federal securities laws by improperly selling the collateral shares – all of which were restricted securities – into the public markets in unregistered transactions. They also failed to register with the SEC as brokers or dealers. The SEC’s complaint alleges that Miceli, McClain, and Argyll violated Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, and that Spanier and AmeriFund violated Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act. The SEC is seeking permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, and financial penalties. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Jacob D. Krawitz, Anthony S. Kelly, and Anik Shah, and supervised by Julie M. Riewe. The SEC’s litigation effort will be led by Dean Conway. The SEC thanks the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their assistance with this matter.

(Rel. 34-66611; File No. 3-13687) Court Enters Order Amending Final Judgment Against Agile Group Founder and Head Portfolio Manager Neal R. GreenbergThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that the United States District Court for the District of Colorado entered an Order amending a February 11, 2011 Final Judgment wherein Greenberg, without admitting or denying the Commission’s allegations, consented to the entry of a Final Judgment that enjoined him from violations of Sections 206(2) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rules 206(4)-2, 206(4)-7, and 206(4)-8 thereunder. Greenberg was the former Chief Executive Officer and majority owner of registered investment adviser Tactical Allocation Services LLC (TAS) and the founder and head portfolio manager for a registered investment adviser wholly-owned by TAS, Agile Group LLC (Agile Group). The Final Judgment also found that Greenberg was liable for disgorgement of $3,941,185, plus prejudgment interest, but based on his financial condition waived payment of all but $330,000 of that amount and, in addition, required Greenberg to surrender his interests in certain Agile Group hedge funds. The Final Judgment imposed no penalty based on Greenberg’s financial condition and prohibited Greenberg from seeking reimbursement for the money and fund interests he was disgorging. Greenberg paid the $330,000 and those funds were distributed to Agile investors under a Court approved equitable distribution plan. On January 31, 2012, the Commission moved for an order requiring Greenberg to pay the unpaid portion of his disgorgement, pre- and post-judgment interest thereon, and a maximum civil penalty, alleging that Greenberg’s statement of financial condition on which the Final Judgment was based was incomplete. The Order, to which Greenberg stipulated, finds Greenberg liable for disgorgement of $3,998,145, representing the unpaid portion of the amount ordered to be disgorged in the Final Judgment (original $4,328,145 judgment comprised of $3,941,185 in disgorgement and $386,960 in prejudgment interest, offset by the $330,000 Greenberg paid on January 24, 2011). It further orders Greenberg to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $3,941,185, and post-judgment interest through February 29, 2012 of $130,480.03. The Order further imposes a freeze on Greenberg’s assets. According to the SEC’s original complaint in this matter, extensive losses were suffered by affiliated hedge funds managed and recommended by Greenberg, including the Agile Safety Fund, the Agile Safety Fund International, and the Agile Safety Variable Fund (collectively Agile hedge funds). The Agile hedge funds were marketed and managed by affiliated investment advisers Agile Group and TAS. The Commission’s complaint alleged that Greenberg negligently misrepresented the safety, suitability, and diversification of the Agile hedge funds to TAS clients, in many cases conservative investors in or near retirement. Further, the complaint alleged that Greenberg made inadequate disclosure concerning advisory fees; failed to implement adequate compliance policies and procedures; failed to properly supervise his subordinate investment advisers; and failed to provide account statements and annual reports to his clients. [SEC v. Neal R. Greenberg, 11-cv-00313-JLK (D. CO)] (LR-22291) Court Orders Former Broker to Pay Over $500,000 For Defrauding 9/11 WidowThe Securities and Exchange Commission announced that a federal judge in Massachusetts entered a final judgment on March 14, 2012 ordering defendant James J. Konaxis, formerly a registered representative of Beverly-based broker-dealer Sentinel Securities, Inc., to disgorge more than $483,000 in commissions earned over a two-year period by defrauding a former customer who was left widowed by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Together with prejudgment interested and a civil penalty, Konaxis has been ordered to pay a total of $514,954. In granting the Commission’s motion for monetary remedies, Judge Denise L. Casper found that Konaxis was liable in the amount of all commissions earned from three of the victim’s accounts over a two-year period because he “misled the victim into thinking her investments were safe, while churning (e.g., excessively trading) her funds in a manner contrary to her interests[.]” According to the Commission’s complaint, Konaxis violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder by excessively trading his customer’s funds while knowingly or recklessly disregarding her interests. During a two-year period, the Commission alleges that the value of his customer’s accounts (funded by payments made to the victim and her family by the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund) decreased from approximately $3.7 million to approximately $1.6 million, much of which was due to Konaxis’s investments and the resulting commissions paid to Konaxis. At the time the Commission’s complaint was filed, Konaxis entered into a partial settlement with the Commission, in which he consented to be enjoined from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and to be barred from participating in any offering of penny stock. In addition, as part of the settlement, Konaxis agreed to be barred in related administrative proceedings from any future association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent. However, the Commission also filed a motion with the Court seeking disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus pre-judgment interest, and the imposition of a civil penalty, which Konaxis opposed. After a hearing on March 1, 2012, Judge Denise L. Casper issued an order granting the Commission’s motion for monetary remedies, including disgorgement in the full amount of Konaxis’ commissions earned over a two-year period from the three accounts churned, totaling $483,460.23, prejudgment interest in the amount of $31,494.44, and a civil penalty of $10,000, for a total of $514,954.
