ORDER - Veros Partners, Inc. ("Veros") was an SEC-registered investment adviser in Indianapolis, Indiana. Pin Financial LLC ("Pin Financial") was the placement agent for certain private offerings made to Veros' advisory cli ents, and Defendant Tobin Senefeld was Pin Financial's Chief Executive Officer and a registered representative. Plaintiff United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") filed this lawsuit against Mr. Senefeld and other s alleging that they violated securities laws in connection with soliciting investors for, and handling investments in, certain private offerings related to farm loans. The SEC alleged that portions of the loan proceeds were not used for current farming operations, as investors were told, but rather were used to cover the farms' prior, unpaid debts. On October 11, 2017, the Court granted a request from the SEC and Mr. Senefeld to approve a bifurcated settlement whereby Mr. Senefeld a greed not to contest the facts in the Amended Complaint and the parties agreed to provide the Court with information necessary to rule on the amount of disgorgement and prejudgment interest, as well as the amount of a civil penalty if the Court fi nds a penalty appropriate. The issues of disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and the appropriateness of a civil penalty are now fully briefed, and ripe for the Court's decision. For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS IN PART the SEC 9;s Motion for Disgorgement, Prejudgment Interest, and Civil Penalties, 444 , to the extent that it ORDERS Mr. Senefeld to disgorge $698,818.29, pay $94,538.36 in prejudgment interest, and pay a civil penalty of $50,000. The Court DENIES Mr. Senefeld's Motion to Strike References to McShane Affidavit, 465 . Final judgment as to Mr. Senefeld shall enter accordingly. (SEE ORDER). Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 2/6/2018. (APD)

ORDER - Given the ongoing nature of the fraud alleged in this action, the lack of justification for treating investors differently, and the extensive forensic accounting work already performed that will allow significant interest recovery to be accom plished with no added costs, the Court DENIES the Interested Investors' Amended Motion to Stay and Objection to Interim Distribution Method-ology. 312 However, the Court acknowledges the Interested Investors' concerns with the continued a ccrual of costs by the Receiver, ORDERS the Receiver to file a Report with the Court once he has completed a cost-benefit analysis of pursuing interest recovery from investors in the 2012 Offering, the 2013 Offering, and/or the 2014 Bridge Loan that cannot be accomplished through accounting adjustments, and ORDERS that the Receiver seek Court approval be-fore pursuing any such interest recovery. SEE ORDER. Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 2/16/2017. (JRB)
