Due Diligence Background Checks for Wall Street for the Capital Markets, and Fund of Funds

Hedge Fund Fraud

Check Fund Manager has been warning its clients for years about potential Hedge Fund blow ups long before they occur. Check Fund Manager has also warned our clients about many others that are not published in the news, or have yet to be exposed. Here are some fund managers involved in frauds and blow ups that you may have read about in the news investigated by Check Fund Manager.

Consider the 2008 Petters Group’s fraud. We investigated Petters Group for six clients as early as 2003. Had you read the Check Fund Manager investigative report you would have learned about Mr. Petters' personal problems starting with a divorce and culminating with the manslaughter of his son in Italy, along with a plethora of civil litigations that were pressing Mr. Petters years before his fraud unraveled. (Tom Petters was arrested on October 3, 2008 is in jail without bond after a judge declared him a flight risk. Petters, who is charged with mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and obstruction of justice, has been accused of masterminding a $3 billion fraud scheme over the past 12 years at his Petters Group Worldwide. Most of the companies under the Petters Group Worldwide umbrella have been placed into receivership with the assets frozen. Sun Country Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.)

Consider Florian Homm of Absolute Capital who Check Fund Manager investigated 8 times also as early as 2003. Had you read the Check Fund Manager report, you would have steered clear of investing with Absolute Capital. Even the earliest Check Fund Manager 2003 report indicates abuses and charges brought against Mr. Homm and Absolute Capital along with fines issued by the German Supervisory Authority of Financial Services at that time. Shortly thereafter, in 2005 Florian Homm was fined by the District Court of Frankfurt for his nonfeasance to properly declare a self interest in research reports about WCM Beteiligungs-Und Grundbesitz-Aktiengesellschaft, a charge that he never disputed.

The Check Fund Manager investigative report then went on to outline 9 federal or local civil cases involving Florian Homm or Absolute Capital including Racketeering (RICO) as well as bankruptcy cases. (Homm, who was also Absolute's chief investment officer, resigned suddenly in September 2007, causing consternation among investors in the listed hedge fund company. Soon afterwards, Absolute disclosed that the net asset values of some $500 million of stocks in fund portfolios did not reflect “the immediately realizable value of such investments.” The Cascade Fund, operated by White Peaks Asset Management, in Evergreen Colorado, alleges that Homm, Absolute Capital and directors enriched themselves in a fraudulent scheme involving penny stocks. Homm "secretly steered" investor funds into buying the "wildly speculative" penny stocks through Hunter World Markets, a California-based brokerage firm he half-owned, the lawsuit stated. "Homm's transactions generated huge profits for Hunter in a variety of ways, which in turn generated secret profits for Homm," alleges Cascade.)

Here is a case for the student of due diligence, Norshield Financial. Norshield's assets were frozen by the Ontario Securities commission in May 2005 and put in receivership in June 2005. Our report documented an ongoing case which began in March of 2000, brought by a company called Cinar Corporation against Norshield Financial over an unauthorized transfer of $125 million in investor funds from the Norshield Canadian entity to a questionable Bahamian entity which went bankrupt in 2002.

The lawsuit says the Norshield CEO, John Xanthoudakis severely misled Cinar's auditors as to nature of the investment by indicating that they were "invested in high-grade bonds", listing several by name, and made no mention of the questionable Bahamian entity. The Check Fund Manager investigative report also revealed that John Xanthoudakis tried to get a court to block the Montreal Gazette from the publication of an insolvency hearing in January 2005, which would make these matters public. Our client read our report in March 2005, three months before the assets were frozen and "red-flagged" Norshield just in time to stop their allocation, saving his company millions of dollars in lost redemptions.

Consider Seth Tobias, general partner of Circle T Partners. Had you read the Check Fund Manager investigative report, you would have learned that domestic abuse issues were present in the turbulent Tobias household. (Seth Tobias, general partner of Circle T Partners, was found dead in the pool of his Jupiter, Florida home. He was 44 years old. His wife found him at about 1 am who called police to their home. The drowning death of New York hedge fund manager Tobias at his Jupiter, Florida mansion was only the start of a lurid story that continues to splash across the pages of the New York Daily News. Allegations of drug-fueled binges and sex with gay porn stars surfaced, with the impressively tattooed “Tiger” Christopher Dauenhauer first denying he knew Tobias, then saying he’d carried on a wild relationship with the manager. A former personal assistant to the family has claimed Seth’s wife, Filomena, admitted killing the fund manager, which she has denied – and Tobias’s brothers are battling his widow for control of his estate.)

Consider Paul Eustace, founder of the collapsed Philadelphia Alternative Asset Management (PAAM) Company. About a dozen federal cases have been brought against Mr. Eustace by the CFTC regarding his fraudulent scheme, including a two count indictment alleging that he defrauded clients of $202 million. In addition, criminal action has been brought against Mr. Eustace for commodities fraud. While the fraud was only revealed in 2005, had you read the Check Fund Manager investigative report in 2004, you would have been made aware of two red flags regarding Mr. Eustace. Years earlier in the 1990's, investors in a company Trout Trading took action after learning that Trout Trading lost millions due to unauthorized trading. Also, in 2001, a federal civil case was found against Paul Eustace as the defendant in a civil case involving hundreds of thousands of dollars of failed loan payments.

Consider John Whittier, hedge-fund founder of Wood River Capital Management, which is based in San Francisco and Ketchum, Idaho. In October 2005, the SEC filed civil fraud charges against Whittier. Lehman Brothers also filed suit after loosing $20 million to Wood River. John Whittier ultimately pleaded guilty to securities fraud and was sentenced to three years in prison and fined $5.5 million. Had you read the Check Fund Manager investigative report before this fraud was revealed, you would have learned that Wood River had no audited financials for the past 4 years and that they were on their 3rd prime broker in 7 months time. You would have also learned that three years earlier, Wood River had failed to make lease payments on its San Francisco property causing the property owner to sue Wood River in an effort to collect.

Consider Scott Tracy, former director of the deregistered hedge fund Endeavour Funds in Australia. After pleading guilty of making false and misleading statements to Macquarie International about the trading history of Endeavour, Tracy was placed on a two-year good behaviour bond and his company deregistered in August of 2006. Had you read the Check Fund Manager investigative report in 2004, two years before this action was revealed, you would have learned that our confidential contacts in Australia had indicated that Scott Tracy was already under investigation by the Australian commissioner.

Consider one of the most publicized Hedge Fund frauds, the Bayou fund operated by Sam Israel III. Check Fund Manager investigated Bayou for several of its clients, NONE of whom invested with Mr. Israel as a result. The Check Fund Manager investigation into Mr. Israel revealed many red flags which pushed the risk threshold for all of our clients.

On September 1, 2005 Federal prosecutors sued the Bayou funds, saying the hedge fund company and securities firm run by Samuel Israel III directed a years-long fraud that attracted more than $300 million from investors. Bayou began defrauding investors in 1998, just a year after it opened its doors. The fraud included the overstatement of investment gains, the understatement of losses and reporting gains to investors when, in fact, losses should have been recorded. Bayou also created a bogus accounting firm, Richmond-Fairfield Associates, to certify Bayou's false financial statements. Between 2001 and 2005 ten different Institutional Investor clients of CheckFundManager.com had contracted us to investigate Bayou and Samuel Israel. Because of their proper due diligence, of which our investigation was an integral part, we are proud to report that none of these ten clients invested or suffered lost redemptions with Sam Israel and Bayou.

The collapse of Bayou represents an important lesson in the need for conducting proper institutional due diligence of which a comprehensive CheckFundManager.com investigation is an integral part. CheckFundManager.com has been helping institutional investors by conducting background investigations of hedge funds since 2001. Starting with a collaborative team including US based capital market due diligence analysts, compliance officers, and a vision to provide fast, comprehensive, and a cost effective service, CheckFundManager.com is now the largest provider of investigative services to institutional investors in the alternative investment industry.

The list of busted hedge funds goes on, including Amerindo, Applegate, Bayou, Bingham, Critical Infrastructure Fund, Daedalus, Dobbins, Durus, Evergreen, Fountainhead, Gabelli, KL, KojiGoto, Linuxor, Man Group, MDL, Norshield, Philadelphia Alternative Asset, Pippin, Portus, Refco, Springer, Sterling Waters, Strategic Income Fund/ETJ Partners, Tenet, Tradewinds, Wood River. Investors in these funds should have been reading the Check Fund Manager investigative reports on those firms.

Our Mission

Our mission is to identify the hedge funds and fund managers who could expose your capital to undue risk. We will give you examples taken from the Check Fund Manager investigative database, an inventory of over thousands of background checks we have conducted on hedge fund managers. Over the years, we have helped to protect the capital base of hundreds of capital market, fund of fund, family offices and other institutional investors that invest in these alternative investments.

Statistics

Over time, we have found a court case or some other exception in about 15% of the cases. Please view the statistical distribution of these findings. Our Year End Analysis Report, shows volume and turn around time statistics on our completed reports, thousands of which are available in our research database. Members of our service can also view a detailed explanation (pdf) of our Due Diligence report.

Most of the people we research are clean, honest, respectable individuals with unblemished records. Would it surprise you to learn though that an active manager of a mutual fund we evaluated had his securities registration revoked for 5 years, all of his trading privileges suspended, and was fined $150,000 yet is back in business today? His offenses included CHEATING, DEFRAUDING, FALSE STATEMENT OR RECORDS, BUCKETING OR OFFSETTING ORDERS, FICTITIOUS SALES, and REPORTING NON BONA-FIDE PRICES. If you were a hiring manager at an investment firm, would you knowingly hire this person to trade on your customer's accounts today?

Free Watch List
All managers that you request a report on are automatically added to the CheckFundManager.com 3 year "Watch List" notification system. Each time the manager is researched for another client, you will be notified of any adverse findings that were not presented in your original report. Due to the extremely high repetition rate on investigations, there is a good chance we will investigate your managers again. See our Multiple Manager Report Analysis. The CFM "Ongoing Due Diligence Monitoring" goes one step further and re-investigates the managers in your investment pool month after month.

Case Studies

For the first example, one investment firm we evaluated has 12 Federal Civil suits against them for misleading investors. They won control of the company by promising the shareholders they would either buy out their stock or sell the company. What they actually did was to appoint themselves to the board of directors, approve huge salaries for themselves, and then say they could not sell the company because of the cost of the payouts to executives! Would you want this firm handling your money today?

In our second example, a fund manager we researched bought a $5 million estate and expensive cars for himself and his porno star girlfriend with money stolen directly from his the fund he was entrusted to manage. Had his investors performed a background check on him, they would have seen where he had filed bankruptcy and had been in financial trouble 5 years before. They could have saved themselves millions.

We have found drug possession convictions in addition to the more common "white-collar" crime of insider trading, stock price manipulations, yield burning, and fraud on these same individuals.
