I GUESS WITH DAN RUBIN OUT OF THE WAY THAT MAKES YOU FLORIDA'S "most eligible bachelor?" MAYBE YOU CAN BUY HIS CAR? WWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PLAYBOY BANKER NABBED BY FEDS By KATI CORNELL SMITH October 3, 2003 -- A playboy banker who prides himself on his "most eligible bachelor" status may not look so good to the gals after the feds get through with him. Daniel Rubin was one of four business executives nabbed on securities fraud charges yesterday for a pump-and-dump scheme that preyed on investors in two small companies with very little revenue and a need for cash. Rubin, CEO of Rubin Investment Group and a television market commentator, is accused of buying discounted stock in Marx Toys & Entertainment Corp. and The Classica Group - a manufacturer of sterilization equipment - talking up the companies to inflate the price and then dumping his shares. Arrested with Rubin were one of his employees, Andrew Saska, and the heads of the two companies - Robert Lomonaco with Marx Toys and Scott Halperin with Classica. Rubin and Saska pulled in approximately $1 million in just two days of trading over the past month, according to court papers filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Fallati. A look at Rubin's personal Web site, www.danrubin.com, illustrates his expensive taste. A photograph of a smiling 30-year-old shows him posed with a shiny black Lamborghini bearing the vanity plate "PLATINUM" - a sports car that he takes on frequent spins around his new hometown of Lake Helena, Fla. The Web site also prominently advertises how his good looks have won him appearances as a "most eligible bachelor" on Fox News and National Enquirer TV. A millionaire Princeton University graduate, Rubin tried to run for mayor of Lake Helena, but officials kicked him off the ballot last month when they discovered he had lied about being a registered voter in Florida's Volusia County, a source close to the case said. That's nothing compared to his problems now. Rubin faces up to 25 years behind bars on security fraud charges. He pleaded not guilty at an arraignment in Brooklyn federal court and was released on $1 million bail as two young female supporters looked on with concern. Two informants helped the feds nab the foursome by recording Rubin and Saska as they discussed details of their exploits with Marx Toys and Classica, as well as two other unidentified companies they had hit. On Aug. 27, Classica's stock rocketed from $.51 a share to $1.34 and back to $1, the feds said. More recently, on Sept. 18, Max Toys' stock started at 7 cents, shot up to 15 cents and then closed at 14 cents, court papers show. nypost.com

Fast-lane Investor Charged With Fraud By Anthony M. DeStefano Staff Writer October 3, 2003, 12:58 AM EDT In one of the latest news stories written about investment banker Dan Rubin of the Rubin Investment Group, he was labeled a deal maker with "luck and a taste for fast-lane life." But yesterday his luck had run out and his freedom — for a few hours anyway — was severely curtailed by a squad of FBI agents. A boyish looking 31-year-old financial high flier who has been touted on television as one of the most eligible bachelors around, Rubin was arrested along with three other men on charges they were part of a stock fraud conspiracy that artificially pumped up the value of some anemic companies. According to a criminal complaint filed in Brooklyn federal court, Rubin, colleague Andrew Saksa, Scott Halperin and Robert LoMonaco executed a scheme to defraud investors in two companies traded over-the-counter: Classica Group Inc. of Sayreville, N.J., and Marx Toys & Entertainment Corp., a Nevada company with a main place of business in Sebring, Ohio. Halperin is Classica's chairman; LoMonaco is chief executive of Marx Toys. The aim of the conspiracy was to manipulate the market price of the companies in such a way that the defendants would profit from a rise in the stocks they had obtained at a discount, the complaint stated. Prosecutors did not put a value on what public investors may have lost but said the overstated value of the stocks totaled $5 million to $6 million. The actions charged in the conspiracy took place in August and September. Last month, investigators arrested two officials of Marx Toys, including former chief executive Steven Wise, on charges they conspired to manipulate the company stock. Yesterday's complaint indicated that Wise is now cooperating in the investigation. Two confidential informants also gathered information, the complaint stated. Rubin, a Princeton University graduate, has been touted as being a savvy real estate entrepreneur. His company, formed in 1998 with offices in New York, Florida and Los Angeles, as well as his various property ventures, are said to employ more than 400 people. Magistrate-Judge Richard Levy set bail for Rubin at $1 million, secured by $150,000 in cash as well as equity in a home in Lake Helen, Fla., where he once ran for mayor. Bail was set at $500,000 for Halperin, to be secured by his home in Manalapan, N.J. Saksa and LoMonaco had not appeared in court late yesterday.
