"We only wish that we had taken these steps in time to save little Madison Gardner from the consequences of bad advice and inappropriate asset allocation." Madison Gardner, age 6, shared the stage with the president and her mother, Nancy Gardner of Newport, Connecticut. Mrs. Gardner, an outsourcing consultant and tax attorney for Stanley Works, was emotional as she spoke with reporters. "We had such high hopes for Madison - we thought Brown or Cornell or maybe even Harvard, since my husband's a very active alum. But now, who knows? With the college fund gone, the best we can hope for is some state university," she stated before bursting into tears.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Ex-WorldCom Chief Is Indicted by US in Securities Fraud By Barnaby J. Feder and Kurt Eichenwald New York Times March 3, 2004 Federal prosecutors yesterday charged Bernard J. Ebbers, the former chief executive of the telecommunications giant WorldCom, with helping to plan and execute the biggest accounting fraud in the history of American business. The company's former chief accounting officer, Scott D. Sullivan, who was also named in the indictment, pleaded guilty hours earlier and said he would cooperate with prosecutors. Legal experts say Mr. Sullivan's decision to reach a plea agreement paved the way for the indictment of Mr. Ebbers and will be crucial to the government's chances of convicting him. The move to try Mr. Ebbers, 62, for securities fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and participation in filing false corporate records with the Securities and Exchange Commission was announced in New York by Attorney General John Ashcroft. Mr. Ebbers is expected to turn himself in and be arraigned in federal district court in New York today. If he is convicted, he could be sentenced to as much as 25 years in jail under federal sentencing guidelines that could also lead to millions of dollars in fines and restitution. As in the Enron accounting scandal — that company's chief executive, Jeffrey K. Skilling, was recently indicted — WorldCom's bookkeeping problems led to billions of dollars in losses for shareholders and ultimately to bankruptcy, costing thousands of people their jobs. "It shook the world's faith in the integrity of our financial markets," said Stephen M. Cutler, director of the enforcement division of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who joined Mr. Ashcroft at yesterday's news conference.

The scheme involved the following companies: Palm Beach Investment Group, Evergreen National Resources, Fairway Marketing, and Shoreline Financial Inc. This was a joint investigation conducted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Florida Office of Financial Regulations (formerly known as the Department of Banking and Finance), and the Florida Department of Insurance, Department of Insurance Fraud. Warrants were issued from Pinellas County Circuit Court for the arrest of Robert Darren Carlson, Robert Charles Taylor, Loie Ellen Johnson, Jay Wayne Bock, Joseph Albert Hobson, and Sean Darin Hoyt for racketeering. There were warrants also issued for the arrest of Damon Everett Carlson and Michael Fay Mann for sale of a security by an unregistered dealer and sale of an unregistered security. On Jan. 5 and 6, agents from FDLE arrested most of the subjects and booked them into the Pinellas County Jail with bond amounts ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. Johnson was arrested in San Diego and is being held on $500,000 bond awaiting extradition back to Pinellas County. Hoyt was arrested and booked into the Manatee County jail. Taylor has not been apprehended and remains an outstanding fugitive.

Maurice C. Bartholomay, 40 - formerly of 43 Constitution Circle, Rochester and now residing in Slidell, Louisiana - was charged with Securities Fraud, a class E felony, and Grand Larceny, a class C felony. The defendant entered a not guilty plea before Town of Gates Justice John Pisaturo and was released on $10,000 cash bail. "Aggressive enforcement of securities laws will help restore investor confidence that today is sadly lacking," Spitzer said. "This case is especially egregious because it involves the complete abuse of trust a senior citizen placed in his financial advisor." According to court papers, between February 1999 and January 2001, Bartholomay persuaded his victim to cash in secure investments, including life insurance policies and savings bonds, and to invest the money with Bartholomay. Bartholomay promised that he could secure a better rate of return for his victim and he assured the elderly Gates man that the investments were "guaranteed."

Home Previous Page Internet Fraud: How to Avoid Internet Investment Scams The Internet serves as an excellent tool for investors, allowing them to easily and inexpensively research investment opportunities. But the Internet is also an excellent tool for fraudsters. That's why you should always think twice before you invest your money in any opportunity you learn about through the Internet. This alert tells you how to spot different types of Internet fraud, what the SEC is doing to fight Internet investment scams, and how to use the Internet to invest wisely. Navigating the Frontier: Where the Frauds Are The Internet allows individuals or companies to communicate with a large audience without spending a lot of time, effort, or money. Anyone can reach tens of thousands of people by building an Internet web site, posting a message on an online bulletin board, entering a discussion in a live "chat" room, or sending mass e-mails. It's easy for fraudsters to make their messages look real and credible. But it's nearly impossible for investors to tell the difference between fact and fiction. Online Investment Newsletters Hundreds of online investment newsletters have appeared on the Internet in recent years. Many offer investors seemingly unbiased information free of charge about featured companies or recommending "stock picks of the month." While legitimate online newsletters can help investors gather valuable information, some online newsletters are tools for fraud.

Home Previous Page Xerox Settles SEC Enforcement Action Charging Company With Fraud Xerox To Pay Largest Financial Fraud Penalty Ever Against Public Company; Company Agrees to Restatement of Financial Results, Special Review of Accounting Controls FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Washington, D.C., April 11, 2002 filed suit against Xerox Corporation in connection with a wide-ranging, four-year scheme to defraud investors. The SEC's complaint alleges that from at least 1997 through 2000, Xerox used a variety of what it called "accounting actions" and "accounting opportunities" to meet or exceed Wall Street expectations and disguise its true operating performance from investors. These actions, most of which violated generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), accelerated the company's recognition of equipment revenue by over $3 billion and increased its pre-tax earnings by approximately $1.5 billion. Xerox agreed to settle the SEC's complaint by consenting to the entry of an injunction for violations of the antifraud and other provisions of the federal securities laws; restating its financials for the years 1997 to 2000; agreeing to a special review of its accounting controls; and paying an unprecedented $10 million penalty. "Xerox used its accounting to burnish and distort operating results rather than to describe them accurately," said Stephen M. Cutler, the SEC's Director of Enforcement. "For Xerox, the accounting function was just another revenue source and profit opportunity. As a result, investors were misled and betrayed."
