Robert M. Levy, U.S.M.J., is hereby adopted in its entirety. Accordingly, the SEC's motion for damages is granted and defendant Michael Metter is held jointly and severally liable for: (1) disgorgement in the amount of $52,236,995.00; (2) prejudgment interest based on the IRS rate fro m May 5, 2010 to the date of entry of this judgment; and (3) a civil penalty of $6,133,540.00.

March 31, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 340 ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN ITS ENTIRETY - Various motions for disbursements were made by named parties in this action and other parties in interest. This court referred the motions for a Report and Recommendation ("R & R" ) to then-United States Magistrate Judge Joan M. Azrack, which was issued on December 24, 2014. Some parties timely objected. For the reasons set forth in the ATTACHED WRITTEN MEMORANDUM AND ORDER, and, upon due consideration, the R & R is adopted in its entirety. Accordingly, Solution Funding's Motion for Disbursement is granted and, having found that Solution Funding has a priority secured interest, it is awarded all of the funds in the CRIS Account in satisfaction of its $2.5 mil lion judgment against BTR, plus prejudgment interest to be calculated as of the date of the entry of the judgment. Further, the SEC is entitled to a $5,190,000 disgorgement judgment against BTR, plus prejudgment interest to be calculated as of the date of the entry of the judgment; however the SEC's disgorgement judgment is subordinate to Solution Funding's judgment. The Motions for Disbursement filed by the other claimants are denied. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment in accord with this Electronic Order and the Attached Memorandum and Order. This Order does not dispose of the case as there is pending a motion for damages and it remains open. SO ORDERED by Judge Dora Lizette Irizarry on 3/31/2015. (Irizarry, Dora)
