DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE; FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2006, U.S. Files Suit Against John Torkelsen, Richard Propper, Daniel Beharry, & Sovereign Bank Alleging Fraud of $32 Million Against the Small Business Administration
WASHINGTON – The Justice Department announced today that it has filed a lawsuit accusing John Torkelsen, Richard Propper, Daniel Beharry, and Sovereign Bank of defrauding the Small Business Administration’s Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program of $32 million. The suit was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania under the False Claims Act, which allows the United States to recover up to three times the amount of its losses plus civil penalties.
The government’s complaint alleges that Torkelsen, Propper and Beharry violated the conflict of interest and management fee rules of the SBIC program by engaging in multiple secret transactions that funneled government money into companies controlled by Propper and Beharry or Torkelsen and his family. The SBIC program has rules designed to prevent the unauthorized investment of government funds in companies controlled by those who act as managers of the SBICs. The alleged fraud is believed to be the largest perpetrated upon the program to date.
The SBIC program, administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, was created in 1958 to fill the gap between the availability of venture capital and the needs of small businesses in start-up and growth situations. The government, itself, does not make direct investments or target specific industries. Rather, the SBIC program is a “fund of funds” – meaning that portfolio management and investment decisions are left to qualified private fund managers. Small businesses which qualify for assistance from the program are able to receive equity capital, long-term loans and expert management assistance.
The investigation of the fraud allegations against the defendants was conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Philadelphia, Pa.; the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Inspector General and Office of General Counsel; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and the Justice Department’s Civil Division. The United States has settled with, or reached settlement in principle with, a number of other individuals or entities involved in the alleged fraud.
Published January 12, 2007 Kerry S. Propper is an executive at both SPACs. Richard Propper father), a physician and venture capitalist who had started an array of businesses, including Medibuy.com, a Website for marketing medical supplies. Propper subsequently launched two more bulletin-board-traded SPACs — Chardan North China Acquisition (CNCA) and Chardan South China Acquisition (CSCA). He serves as chairman of the former and chief financial officer of the latter.
Propper is head of Chardan Capital, a San Diego-based venture capital firm. His son Kerry S. Propper, who is an executive at both SPACs, heads the similarly named Chardan Capital Markets, a New York-based broker-dealer and investment bank.
The elder Propper has an eventful investment history. In the early ’90s, he resigned as the managing general partner at Montgomery Medical Ventures, a venture-capital firm controlled by Montgomery Securities, amid reports that he inadvertently disclosed to a family member inside information about a Montgomery-related transaction (SEC investigation). He now says only that the incident “had nothing to do with anything.”
In 1996, meanwhile, he settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission over allegations that, as a general partner of two Montgomery funds, he failed to disclose holdings and transactions in several public companies. He says it was simply a matter of bookkeeping issues.
If this history has cast a shadow over Origin’s shares, an early recovery is hardly likely in view of new litigation. On Dec. 29, the Justice Department filed a civil suit in federal court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Propper, his partner Daniel Beharry, their former partner John Torkelsen and Sovereign Bancorp, alleging they’d defrauded the Small Business Administration of $32 million.
That suit is running parallel to a civil action filed by the SBA in early 2005. In that action, the government alleges the same plaintiffs (Kerry S. Propper) funneled SBA money through Acorn Technology Fund, a small-business investment company, to their own companies. Among other things, it contends that Propper loaned money to Acorn to finance Medibuy, that Acorn repaid him with SBA money, and that Propper-related partnerships received more than $800,000 from Acorn. In June, Torkelsen began serving a 70-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to making false statements to the SBA.
