On January 20,2023, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York handed down a final agreement judgment against Abraham “Avi” Mirman, former head of Investment Banking at John Thomas Financial, Inc., a broker-dealer in New York that is now defunct. In 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, charged Mirman for his role in a penny stock scheme involving Liberty Silver Corp.
The SEC charged Mirman with aiding and abetment others in inflating Liberty Silver stock prices artificially. He failed to disclose that 6.6 million Liberty Silver share were sold to JTF retail customers, and he participated in unregistered offers of additional shares. Mirman’s response was to agree to the entry a final judgment, without admitting or denigrating the SEC allegations.
The consent judgment contains several provisions. Mirman has been enjoined to refrain from violating Sections 5(a),5(c),and 17(a).(3) of the Securities Act of 1934 in the future. He is also subject to a 3-year penny stock ban under Securities Act Section 20g. Mirman is also required to pay $278.519.45 disgorgement as well as $127.006.15 of prejudgment interest, and a civil fine of $125,000.
