SEC CHARGES FORMER CEO AND CHAIRMAN OF MAMTEK U.S. WITH FRAUD IN THE OFFER AND SALE OF MUNICIPAL BONDS
美国证监会指控(密苏里州糖厂项目的项目方)MAMTEK公司前首席执行官及董事长在提供和销售市政债券中存在欺诈行为
The Securities and Exchange Commission today filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, charging former CEO and chairman of Mamtek U.S., Bruce Cole, with fraud related to the offer and sale of municipal bonds.美国证券交易委员会今天在加利福尼亚州中区美国联邦地区法院进行诉讼,控告MAMTEK公司前首席执行官及董事长布鲁斯.科尔提供和销售市政债券存在欺诈行为。
The SEC’s complaint alleges that Cole executed a scheme to defraud investors and made material misrepresentations and omissions in connection with the July 2010 offer and sale of $39 million of appropriations credit bonds backed by the City of Moberly, Missouri (“Moberly”). The bond offering was intended to finance a sucralose processing plant in Moberly that Mamtek would construct and operate. The SEC alleges that Cole executed his fraud by directing unsuspecting Mamtek employees to take actions that diverted over $900,000 in bond proceeds for his and his wife’s personal use and by misleading city officials and bondholders about the use of those proceeds.美国证监会在其指控中提到,在2010年7月,科尔在销售密苏里州莫伯利市3900万市政债券期间,对其投资者进行虚假陈述,是一种欺诈投资者的行为。该市所发行的市政债券旨在为密苏里州当地一家三氯蔗糖加工厂提供融资,MAMTEK公司有望进行工程建设和运营。美国证监会认为科尔在操作过程中声称解决MAMTEK公司劳动就业问题而故意进行欺诈,关于资金的用途误导市政官员及债券持有者,之后将超过90万美金的不法之财转至他本人及妻子名下用于个人花销。
According to the complaint, prior to the close of the bond offering, Cole directed Mamtek employees and consultants to create false documentation for a nonexistent company to falsely justify fictitious expenses for the sucralose project. The complaint alleges he then instructed Mamtek employees to wire his wife, Nanette H. Cole, $900,000 in bond proceeds, which were used to pay among other things, their mortgage, credit card debt, homeowners and auto insurance, and household employees, in part, under the false pretense that she was an agent of the sham company.关于指控的相关内容显示,在债券发售之前,科尔授意MAMTEK公司雇员及顾问伪造文件,策划出一个并不存在的皮包公司,关于相关资金花费在三氯糖厂更是子虚乌有。之后,他指使MAMTEK公司员工将资金电汇至其妻子纳内特.科尔账户下,涉及资金达90万美金,这些资金被其夫妇用于偿还贷款,信用卡赊欠资金,房产保险及汽车保险,家政花销。她正是骗局之中所涉及皮包公司的代理人。
The complaint further alleges that as a precondition to the issuance of the bonds, Cole signed a certificate representing certain portions of the Official Statement delivered to bondholders for the $39 million offering were not false or misleading. However, at the time that Cole signed the document, he had already directed the creation of the false documentation and had made preliminary plans to divert and misuse the bond proceeds, rendering his representation in the closing certificate false. In doing so, he misrepresented the use of bond proceeds and the accuracy of the Official Statement.该指控进一步指出,为了满足发行债券的先决条件,科尔签署了相关认证,据相关显示政府向债券持有者发行3900万美金的债券,关于这一点属实且没有虚假陈述。但是在科尔签署文件之际,他已经策划实施了编造虚假文件,并且制定了非法使用债券发行所募资金的计划。基于此,他对债券发行及官方文件的用途进行了虚假陈述。
By engaging in this conduct, Cole has violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, for making material misrepresentations and omissions and engaging in a scheme to defraud the city and bondholders. Through this Complaint, the Commission seeks a permanent injunction, disgorgement with prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty. The Commission further names Nanette Cole as a relief defendant because she obtained the bond proceeds from her husband, and seeks return of those funds.科尔在此案中对其投资者进行虚假陈述且有内容疏漏,以及涉嫌故意欺骗债券持有者及市政府,这一行径违反了证券法第17(a)条款及交易法第10(b)条款,10b-5条例。该委员会通过指控,诉求对科尔实施永久性禁止令,追缴其先期所得利益,以及民事罚款。
The Commission acknowledges the cooperation and assistance of the Missouri Attorney General’s office in connection with this matter.证监会还指出在此办案的过程中,得到了密苏里州总检察长的支持与协作。
