The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a final judgment of consent against Martin Silver (co-founder of International Investment Group). Silver is prohibited from violating federal securities laws’ anti-fraud provisions by the judgment. The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint alleging Silver had defrauded IIG clients’ investment advisory services by overvaluing hedge fund assets. IIG was able to pay inflated fees to Silver, with some of the money going to Silver. Silver is also accused of falsely reporting fake and overvalued loans as legitimate and fair valued, according to the complaint. Silver cooperated and reached a settlement with the SEC that included a permanent injunction, monetary damages to be determined by a later court. Silver’s ill gotten gains amount to $2,306,856 and the final judgment includes $243,403,98 in prejudgment interest. The disgorgement is satisfied by a restitution order that was entered in a criminal proceeding against him. IIG’s registration as an investment advisor was revoked after it had been charged with fraud. The SEC was able to obtain a consent final judgment against IIG requiring the company to pay disgorgement of over $35 million and prejudgment Interest. Lindsay Moilanen of the New York Regional Office and Diego Brucculeri of Division of Examinations assisted Eli Bass in the SEC’s investigations. Moilanen handled the litigation, under Sheldon L.
