Bill, here is the full text of the SEC settlement.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED AGAINST CABOT MONEY MANAGEMENT, INC. AND ROBERT LUTTS
The Commission today announced the entry of a Cease-and-Desist Order against Cabot Money Management, Inc. (Cabot), a registered investment adviser, and its president, Robert T. Lutts (Lutts), that censures them and imposes monetary penalties on them. The Order finds that the respondents failed to file timely Forms 13F disclosing the holdings of certain equity securities in accounts over which they exercised investment discretion. The Order finds that as a result the respondents delayed disclosure in a Commission filing of the concentration and magnitude of their holdings of Presstek, Inc., a stock strongly recommended by The Cabot Market Letter, which is published by Lutts' father, a Cabot director. Simultaneously with the institution of these proceedings, the Commission accepted the respondents' offers of settlement in which they consented, without admitting or denying the findings, to the issuance of an order finding that they willfully violated Section 13(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 13f-1 thereunder; directing that they cease and desist from committing or causing any violation or any future violation of Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13f-1 thereunder; and ordering each to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $12,500.
