CNLG CONOLOG CORP 1 POS AM: Post-effective amendment to an S-Type filing Mar 7, 2000
11:38 AM
=================================

oag.state.ny.us
FRANCHISE OFFICES OF BROKER-DEALERS

The NASD, unlike the State of New York, requires that each branch office of a broker-dealer be registered, and that a registered representative be named as the branch manager. If a branch manager possessing additional NASDR qualifications as a supervisor is present in the office at all times, the office is designated an "Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction" ("OSJ").(37)

Recently, in the micro-cap fraud market, it appears that OSJs are increasingly becoming "franchise offices." In a typical situation, the broker-dealer is the franchisor, and the branch manager, or their closely held corporation, is the franchisee. In one case that came to light, the franchisee is a salesperson and not the branch manager. If the closely held corporation is partly owned by an unregistered person, then commissions are being paid to someone who is not officially known to or regulated by any securities regulator.

Typically, the franchisee rents office space, rents or buys the office furniture and equipment, and pays the utilities. The franchisor (broker-dealer) registers everyone in the branch office as its agents, but the office, in fact, operates completely independent of the main office. The franchise agreement typically provides that 15% or 20% of the commissions earned by the branch office will be retained by the broker-dealer, 50% will be paid to the salesperson, and the remaining 30% or 35% of gross commissions will be paid to the franchisee. After paying the rent, utilities, overrides to supervisors and recruiters, and any other overhead expenses, the franchisee keeps the balance as profits.

The real problem with this type of set up is that franchise offices can change their affiliation from one broker-dealer to another with no more effort than it takes to get the individual sales agents reregistered with the new firm. The lease of the office and the telephone accounts are all in the name of the branch manager or the franchisee corporation, and customers can continue to reach the same agents at the same address and phone number. The Melville office of Investors Associates, Inc. ("IAI"), for example, left en masse in April 1997 and became a branch office of H.J. Meyers ("HJM") within a matter of days. The office left HJM in early June 1997 and became affiliated with Ash & Company, Inc. later that month, all without changing its address or phone numbers, or losing its customers. The Melville office is now becoming affiliated with IAR Securities Corp. On occasion, the branch creates the perception of continuity by using the franchisee corporation's name on letterheads, envelopes, or Federal Express airbills, and suggesting that the unregistered franchisee corporation is the "introducing broker," and that the trades are "cleared" by the licensed broker-dealer.

If an unscrupulous person were to start a new broker-dealer and apply for an NASD broker-dealer license, or purchase an existing firm, the NASD would conduct an inquiry into the background of the owner and the source of the capital used to start or buy the firm. There is, however, no such inquiry in the case of a franchise office moving from one firm to another. In numerous situations therefore, regulators have no information about who is truly running the operation. Furthermore, the net capital requirements imposed on a broker-dealer do not apply to its branches, even if a franchise branch is the only branch of the firm that is making a market in a particular security.

The problems associated with franchise offices, as opposed to branch offices set up and maintained by the brokerage firm itself, are evident in the testimony given at the public hearings. Alan Mandel, former Compliance Director of Greenway Capital Corp. ("Greenway")(38), gave the following description of his trip to Atlanta to audit a branch office in response to an April 1997 subpoena issued by the Attorney General of the State of New York, which demanded, in part, production of any scripts in use in any office:

On my trip ... to the Atlanta office, the branch manager there chose to leave the firm rather than be subjected to my audit .... It was a shared office environment. There were many offices within the plant and a common secretary, and I was prevented from going into the office under threat of trespass.

***

I was told that ... the branch manager was paying the rent for the space. It was a franchise not a branch office.(39)
Although the branch office contained records of Greenway, Greenway's own Compliance Director was denied access to the records on the grounds that the branch manager no longer worked for Greenway (he had resigned upon learning of the planned audit), and that he held the lease on the office.

Daren O'Connor, an investigator for the New Jersey Bureau of Securities, who has conducted numerous unannounced audits, testified:

[O]ne of the biggest issues we see today is the franchise branch offices. These offices are almost always, in essence, a separate broker dealer.

***

In essence, they are renting the license of the home office and they avoid net capital, they avoid a lot of the registration issues, ... and disclosure they would have to make.

***

They're often set up with corporate entities that enter into the franchise agreement.

***

It is definitely a back door that's open for people that are unsavory in the securities business. It is not disclosed in any of the books and records who the officers are in these corporations, who is getting payments from these corporations and partnerships, whatever you want to call them.(40)
[New Jersey takes the view that] these franchise branches are separate broker dealers. Even though they are using the name of the home office, we charge that whatever entity, partnership is running that office is in essence a broker dealer ....

***

[I]n almost every instance each branch office has its own trading accounts as opposed to a main trading account for broker dealers in the normal situation. Certain firms will let the branch office itself go out and make markets in the securities.(41)
In an attempt to deal with the issues raised by franchise offices, the State of Connecticut is bringing an administrative action against a firm that has a franchise branch office, alleging that (1) the firm failed to supervise the individuals within that branch because the firm did not conduct any audits of the branch, and (2) the branch operated as a separate broker-dealer without meeting the state's licensing standards.

Among the other problems discovered at franchise offices is the ability of the branch to bring in consultants that are statutorily disqualified. As part of a Connecticut audit, examiners looked at the cash disbursements journal and saw money being disbursed to a marketing firm. Upon further investigation it was discovered that the marketing firm was owned by the father of the principal that they were examining.(42)

Ralph Lambiase, Director of the Connecticut Division of Securities, questioned the entire franchising system, stating, "[n]ow, why do you franchise? Because if you franchise, you don't need the capital to set up as a broker-dealer, and if you're not a broker-dealer, then you don't get any scrutiny from the state for licensing purposes."(43)

As a result of the New York Attorney General's investigation of micro-cap firms, and testimony presented at the Public Hearings, the Attorney General has determined that certain agreements between a broker-dealer and a person or entity operating a branch office are "franchises" within the meaning of General Business Law Article 33, § 681 (3).(44)

The broker-dealer granting the franchise (i.e., the "franchisor") must therefore file an application on Form NYF-1 and register an "offering prospectus"(45) with the Attorney General's Department of Law, and comply with the other disclosure and record-keeping requirements of GBL § 683 and the corresponding regulations of 13 NYCRR Part 200.

The Attorney General has also determined that any firm, association, corporation or other entity that operates a branch office as a franchisee, or receives or has an interest in the commissions or other proceeds of the operations of any securities broker, dealer, principal or salesperson, is a non-NASD "broker" within the meaning of GBL Article 23-A, § 359-e (b), and must file N.Y. Form M-1 and otherwise comply with the registration requirements of GBL § 359-e.

The Attorney General's interpretation of GBL Articles 33 and 23-A as requiring registration of branch office franchisors and franchisees will provide access to books, records and other information about the financing and the otherwise invisible persons behind these branch offices that seem to have an existence totally independent of the NASD broker-dealer with which they are affiliated at the moment. That information will be available upon request to the investing public, and should prove extremely useful for developing civil or criminal prosecutions if it appears that unregistered or barred persons are controlling the branch offices.

HARTLEY T. BERNSTEIN ("Bernstein"), age 49, of Armonk, New York, who, at the time of the transactions and events alleged in the Complaint, was a partner in the law firm of Bernstein & Wasserman, LLP.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Washington, D.C.

Litigation Release No. 16163 / May 27, 1999

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Hartley T. Bernstein,

No. 99 Civ. 3885 (S.D.N.Y.)

ATTORNEY SETTLES CHARGES THAT HE PROFITED BY MORE THAN $500,000 FROM

ROLE IN LARGER MICROCAP SECURITIES FRAUD

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") today filed its third civil action arising from the massive securities fraud that was conducted through Sterling Foster & Co., Inc. ("Sterling Foster"), a registered broker-dealer. In today’s Complaint, which was filed in federal court in Manhattan, the Commission charged an attorney with fraudulently obtaining over $500,000 by selling securities shortly after the initial public offerings ("IPOs") of five companies for which the defendant’s law firm acted as counsel.

Named in the Commission’s Complaint is:

HARTLEY T. BERNSTEIN ("Bernstein"), age 49, of Armonk, New York, who, at the time of the transactions and events alleged in the Complaint, was a partner in the law firm of Bernstein & Wasserman, LLP.

According to the Complaint:

Bernstein acquired unregistered securities of Advanced Voice Technologies, Inc. ("Advanced Voice"), Com/Tech Communications Technologies, Inc.("Com/Tech"), Embryo Development Corp. ("Embryo"), and Applewoods, Inc. ("Applewoods"), companies whose IPOs were being underwritten by Sterling Foster, and of Perry’s Majestic, Inc., a company whose IPO was co-underwritten by VTR Capital, Inc. and Investors Associates, Inc. ("Investors Associates"). The unregistered securities of those issuers that Bernstein acquired were registered along with the securities that were to be sold in each of those IPOs. In all of the IPOs except Applewoods, Bernstein knew or was reckless in not knowing that he would sell those securities at below-market prices to one of the underwriters soon after the commencement of the IPO. In the Applewoods IPO, Bernstein and Sterling Foster agreed that Bernstein would sell his Applewoods securities to Sterling Foster, through another broker-dealer, immediately upon the opening of the first day of after-market trading. Bernstein’s sales of securities to Sterling Foster and Investors Associates provided those firms with a source of cheap stock to sell aggressively to their customers.

In its Complaint, the Commission alleges that Bernstein violated the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Simultaneously with the filing of the Complaint, Bernstein has consented, without admitting or denying the allegations of the Complaint to the entry of a final judgment that: (1) permanently enjoins him from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; and (2) orders him to pay a civil penalty of $40,000.

In a parallel criminal proceeding, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced today that Bernstein has: (1) pled guilty to two criminal counts arising from the same underlying conduct, (2) pled guilty to one perjury count stemming from false testimony he gave the SEC during its investigation and (3) agreed to pay an additional $850,000 in restitution for his role in the fraud.

In February 1997, the Commission filed a civil injunctive action charging Sterling Foster and four individuals, including Adam Lieberman, Sterling Foster’s president, with obtaining $75 million from investors by using boiler-room sales practices and other fraudulent conduct in connection with IPOs of Lasergate Systems, Inc., Advanced Voice Technologies, Inc., Com/Tech Communication Technologies, Inc., Embryo Development Corporation, Applewoods, Inc. and ML Direct, Inc. On November 9, 1998, Sterling Foster and Lieberman consented to the entry of final judgments that: (1) permanently enjoined Sterling Foster and Lieberman from further violations of the federal securities laws; (2) ordered Sterling Foster and Lieberman to disgorge $75,000,000, waived down to $11,486,064.21, including prejudgment interest, plus proceeds of the sale, at fair market prices, of additional assets turned over to the United States government. The Commission’s action against the remaining defendants, Craig Kellerman, Frank Monroig, and Dennis Rueb, is pending, but has been stayed.

Also in November 1998, the Commission filed a complaint against Michael Krasnoff a/k/a Michael Krasnov ("Krasnoff"), Michael Lulkin ("Lulkin"), MD Funding, Inc. ("M.D. Funding") and Special Equities, Inc. ("Special Equities, Inc.") alleging that Krasnoff and Lulkin and two companies that they controlled fraudulently obtained over $8.6 million through their participation in the IPOs of Advanced Voice Technologies, Inc., Com/Tech Communications Technologies, Inc., Embryo Development Corporation, Applewoods, Inc. and ML Direct, Inc. These defendants allegedly knew or were reckless in not knowing that the prospectuses for these IPOs failed to disclose their arrangements to sell their stock to Sterling Foster immediately after the commencement of the IPOs at below-market prices. That litigation is pending.

This enforcement action is part of the Commission’s four-pronged approach to attacking microcap fraud: enforcement, inspections, investor education and regulation. For more information about the SEC’s response to microcap fraud, visit the SEC’s Microcap Fraud Information Center at sec.gov.

For more information see Litigation Release Nos. 15261 (February 18, 1997) and 15971 (November 9, 1998).

For example, CPAG is currently assisting the U.S Attorney for the Southern District of New York on U.S. v. Randy Pace, et al., a case involving numerous fraudulent initial public offerings, primarily involving a notorious penny stock firm named Sterling Foster. NASD Regulation brought a major regulatory action against Sterling Foster and its principals and brokers in 1996, an action that preceded SEC and criminal charges. CPAG has spent many months analyzing the trading records of the securities involved in the criminal case. On September 8, 2000, the two primary defendants in that case – Randy Pace and Warren Schreiber - pleaded guilty to criminal charges that they helped cheat investors of $170 million by manipulating the price of stocks the firm underwrote.

Bear Stearns Wins Fight With Investor in Sterling Fraud Case


Washington, Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Bear Stearns Cos. fought off an investor's U.S. Supreme Court bid to revive claims that the securities firm took part in an illegal scheme to manipulate stock prices.

The lawsuit by Howard Greenberg is part of the fallout from Bear Stearns's work as the clearing firm for Sterling Foster & Co., a brokerage that closed down in 1997 after regulators accused it of orchestrating a $75 million fraud.

The justices, without comment, refused to consider Greenberg's contentions that Bear Stearns had reason to know that Sterling Foster was defrauding investors and therefore should be held responsible.

Greenberg sought to reverse an arbitration panel decision clearing Bear Stearns of wrongdoing. A federal appeals court upheld the ruling in August.

The dispute centered on allegations that Sterling Foster arranged an initial public offering for ML Direct Inc., while simultaneously selling the company's stock short.

At the Supreme Court, Greenberg argued that a federal trial judge was too deferential to the conclusions of the arbitrators. Bear Stearns said in a court filing that its actions ``were consistent with the normal provision of clearing services to introducing brokers.''

Sterling Foster, which once had 275 brokers, closed after the FBI and U.S. postal inspectors raided its offices in 1997. Several people affiliated with Sterling Foster -- including former President Adam Lieberman -- pleaded guilty to charges they helped manipulate stock prices.

The case is Greenberg v. Bear Stearns, 00-699.

In Reply to: Re: vtr capital broker posted by A Schmid on August 13, 1998 at 17:26:22:

VTR representatives call consistently when Conolog is anywhere above $5 per share and urge you to buy because of "solid fundamentals," etc. Once the stock drops below (as it always seems to do) $3, you never hear from them. Currently the stock as hovering between $1.25 and $1.50 and I haven't gotten a single phone call since I was urged to buy at $5.50. Gee, I wonder whose shares you're buying at those prices.....and who you're selling to when it drops?

SEC Ties Florida Penny Stock Trader to Huttoe Fraud


Washington, Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Florida penny stock trader Jerome ``Jerry'' Rosen accepted a bribe from former Systems of Excellence Chairman Charles Huttoe to manipulate that company's stock in the mid-1990s, the Securities and Exchange Commission alleged today.

The SEC alleged that Rosen, a trader working from a south Florida branch office of J. Alexander Securities Inc., also conspired with Huttoe and others to obtain an exclusive supply of SOE stock at favorable prices to support his fraudulent and manipulative trading.

As the J. Alexander trader exclusively responsible for the firm's SOE market-making, Rosen, 47, sold stock short to other market makers only to cover his sales at no risk with stock supplied by Huttoe and the others, the SEC said in a civil lawsuit the agency filed today in a Miami federal court.

By controlling the supply of stock in the market, Rosen was responsible for preventing ``the economic forces of supply and demand from establishing a legitimate price for SOE stock and causing unsuspecting investors to pay higher prices for it,'' the SEC said in a news release.

Rosen's lawyer couldn't be reached for comment on the alleged activities, which the SEC said took place in 1995 and 1996.

Long Investigation

The case is an outgrowth of a long-running investigation by the SEC into the shares of SOE, a maker of teleconferencing products that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1997 and was subsequently liquidated. The company's technology was used to distribute video of the 1997 swearing-in of Congress.

Federal prosecutors in 1996 accused Huttoe of netting $12 million in illegal profits from SOE shares inflated by touting. He was sentenced to 46 months in prison after pleading guilty to securities fraud and money laundering.

Law enforcement officials have since accused many brokers and promoters of touting the stock in return for payment from Huttoe. Others have been accused of profiting from the sale of unregistered shares into the manipulated market. The SEC said it has collected about $15 million in ill-gotten gains from various defendants in its investigation of SOE.

The complaint against Rosen alleges that he made $112,468 from his fraudulent SOE market-making activities and got $503,496 more from the unregistered resale of SOE stock he received as a bribe from Huttoe.

``Rosen has a long disciplinary history dating back to his first days in the industry,'' the SEC's lawsuit said. In 1991, he was censured and fined $5,000 by the National Association of Securities Dealers for excessive markup violations, the SEC said. In July 2000, the NASD fined him $32,000 and charged that he had harassed another market maker, the agency said.

Other Defendants

The SEC also named Joseph D. Radcliffe, William A. Calvo III and their company, Diversified Corporate Consulting Group, as defendants in the lawsuit. The agency said Radcliffe and Diversified were among those supplying Rose with SOE stock. The SEC also alleged that Radcliffe, Diversified and Calvo also resold SOE stock through unregistered transactions for about $2.45 million in unlawful profits.

Without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, Radcliffe agreed, among other things, to pay $539,719 representing his ill- gotten gains plus interest and a $75,000 fine, the SEC said. He also agreed to hand over the appraised fair market value of a 1996 Lincoln Towncar in his possession.

``Mr. Radcliffe had no interest in protracted litigation with the SEC and chose to put the matter behind him,'' said his lawyer, Richard Morvillo of Washington.

A lawyer representing Calvo and Diversified declined to comment. Calvo, a lawyer, was disbarred from the practice of law in Florida in 1994, the SEC lawsuit said.

The SEC alleged Rosen and Radcliffe were in contact with Internet publisher Theodore Melcher, who touted SOE stock in his ``SGA Goldstar Whisper Stocks'' newsletter. Melcher agreed last July to pay at least $2 million to settle SEC charges against him, which he neither admitted nor denied.

The SEC said today that sometimes Melcher tipped Rosen in advance of his touts, and that sometimes Rosen and Radcliffe would call Melcher and direct him to tout SOE on a specific day.

Conolog Reiterates Position On Reverse Split


SOMERVILLE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2001--Conolog Corporation (NASDAQ:CNLGD, CNLGW) announced earlier today that it has effected a one-for-four reverse split of its common stock. In response to shareholder inquiries, the Company issues the following statement.

Conolog President, Robert Benou, explains, "Notice was received from Nasdaq that the Company's common stock failed to maintain the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company has until July 11, 2001 to comply with Nasdaq's rules. In an effort to address the Company's belief that its common stock is undervalued by the market and to comply with Nasdaq's listing rules, the Company has implemented a one-for-four reverse split of its common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on April 19, 2001. The reverse split is effective as of the opening of business today. A mandatory share exchange will be required to effect this reverse split. Therefore, shareholders of the record date will be required to surrender their shares to the Company's transfer agent for reissuance. Shareholders are not required to surrender their stock certificates by any mandatory deadline."

Benou continued, "Having the stock trade above $1.00 per share will help the Company maintain its Nasdaq listing. It will also have a positive impact on our current efforts to seek financing to support additional acquisitions that have the potential to increase the Company's revenues and earnings."

"As the Company produces positive developments, hopefully the marketplace will acknowledge them, which should increase shareholder value over the long term," Benou summarized.

REMEMBER WARREN SCHREIBER FROM CON-O-LOG!

Pace Gets 100 Months in Prison, Must Pay $134.9 Mln (Update1)
2002-04-26 12:38 (New York)

Pace Gets 100 Months in Prison, Must Pay $134.9 Mln (Update1)

(Adds details of plea, beginning in sixth paragraph.)

New York, April 26 (Bloomberg) -- Randolph Pace, who secretly
controlled the now-defunct Sterling Foster & Co. brokerage, was
sentenced to eight years, four months in prison for duping
thousands of investors out of more than $130 million.
Pace, 56, was jailed immediately by U.S. District Judge
Loretta Preska in New York. Clearly surprised by the sentence,
Pace hunched his shoulders, put his hands over his eyes and shook
his head back and forth as marshals ordered him to remove his
belt, watch and tie. He was also ordered to pay $134.9 million in
restitution.
Sterling Foster, which once had 275 brokers, closed in 1997
after authorities raided it. Prosecutors said the Melville, New
York-based firm swindled investors by manipulating the price of
stocks that the firm underwrote and sold. Pace pleaded guilty in
2000 to 13 counts of conspiracy and securities fraud.
``There was nothing subtle or nuanced about Mr. Pace's
schemes,'' Preska said today. ``He is a thief.''
Prosecutors said Pace and other Sterling Foster executives,
including two other men who also had secret control of the
brokerage, operated a boiler room that used deceptive sales
practices and market manipulation schemes from 1994 to 1997. Those
men, Warren Schreiber and Alan Novich, have also pleaded guilty.
At least 6,000 customers who invested in Advanced Voice
Technologies Inc., Com/Tech Communication Technologies Inc.,
Applewoods Inc. and other companies underwritten by Sterling
Foster lost millions of dollars, authorities said.

Millions in Assets

Pace faced up to nine years behind bars. His lawyer, citing
the emotional turmoil Pace has suffered, asked for a sentence of
about seven years. Attorney Robert Morvillo denied that Pace had
rigged initial public offerings.
``We have not conceded the fact that Mr. Pace was involved in
stock manipulation,'' Morvillo told Preska.
The judge disagreed and said Pace had shown no regard for his
victims. According to Preska, Pace once said of investors who
complained about worthless stock they'd bought, ``I don't care if
they die with that.''
Assistant U.S. Attorney George Canellos told the judge that
Pace had at least $4.5 million in assets and asked that he be
ordered to surrender the money immediately. Preska will rule on
that request in coming weeks. Canellos also said that Pace's wife
had ``many, many, many millions.''
