V. 12 Defendant shall pay $2,800,000.00 according to the following schedule: (1) 13 $400,000.00 to be placed in escrow and then paid to the Receiver within five days 14 of entry of the Final Judgment; and (2) $2,400,000.00 to be paid to the SEC no 15 later than 24 months after the date of entry of the Final Judgment. Payment of the 16 $2,400,000.00 shall be deemed made on the date it is received by the SEC. 17 Payment of the entire amount of $2,800,000.00 as provided herein will be deemed 18 to satisfy the Defendant’s obligation to pay disgorgement and a civil penalty as 19 ordered in paragraphs III and IV of this Final Judgment. Post-judgment interest 20 shall not accrue if payments are made as required in this paragraph. 21 If Defendant fails to make any payment by the date agreed and/or in the 22 amount agreed according to the schedule set forth above, all amounts set forth for 23 disgorgement and penalty in paragraphs III and IV under this Final Judgment, 24 including post-judgment interest from the date of entry of the Final Judgment, 25 minus any payments made, shall become due and payable immediately at the 26 discretion of the staff of the SEC without further application to the Court. 27 28 Defendant may transmit payment electronically to the SEC, which will provide detailed ACH transfer/Fedwire instructions upon request. Payment may 3 1 also be made directly from a bank account via Pay.gov through the SEC website at 2 http://www.sec.gov/about/offices/ofm.htm. Defendant may also pay by certified 3 check, bank cashier’s check, or United States postal money order payable to the 4 Securities and Exchange Commission, which shall be delivered or mailed to 5 Enterprise Services Center 6 Accounts Receivable Branch 7 6500 South MacArthur Boulevard 8 Oklahoma City, OK 73169 9 and shall be accompanied by a letter identifying the case title, civil action number, 10 and name of this Court; Field’s name as a defendant in this action; and specifying 11 that payment is made pursuant to this Final Judgment. 12 Defendant shall simultaneously transmit photocopies of evidence of 13 payment and case identifying information to the SEC’s counsel in this action. By 14 making this payment, Defendant relinquishes all legal and equitable right, title, and 15 interest in such funds and no part of the funds shall be returned to Defendant. 16 The SEC shall hold the funds (collectively, the “Fund”) and may propose a 17 plan to distribute the Fund subject to the Court’s approval. The Court shall retain 18 jurisdiction over the administration of any distribution of the Fund. If the SEC 19 staff determines that the Fund will not be distributed, the SEC shall send the funds 20 paid pursuant to this Final Judgment to the United States Treasury. 21 The SEC may propose a plan to distribute the Fund subject to the Court’s 22 approval. Such a plan may provide that the Fund shall be distributed pursuant to 23 the Fair Fund provisions of Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 24 The Court shall retain jurisdiction over the administration of any distribution of the 25 Fund. If the SEC staff determines that the Fund will not be distributed, the SEC 26 shall send the funds paid pursuant to this Final Judgment to the United States 27 Treasury. 28 4 1 Regardless of whether any such Fair Fund distribution is made, amounts 2 ordered to be paid as civil penalties pursuant to this Judgment shall be treated as 3 penalties paid to the government for all purposes, including all tax purposes. To 4 preserve the deterrent effect of the civil penalty, Defendant shall not, after offset or 5 reduction of any award of compensatory damages in any Related Investor Action 6 based on Defendant’s payment of disgorgement in this action, argue that he is 7 entitled to, nor shall he further benefit by, offset or reduction of such compensatory 8 damages award by the amount of any part of Defendant’s payment of a civil 9 penalty in this action (“Penalty Offset”). If the court in any Related Investor 10 Action grants such a Penalty Offset, Defendant shall, within 30 days after entry of 11 a final order granting the Penalty Offset, notify the Commission’s counsel in this 12 action and pay the amount of the Penalty Offset to the United States Treasury or to 13 a Fair Fund, as the Commission directs. Such a payment shall not be deemed an 14 additional civil penalty and shall not be deemed to change the amount of the civil 15 penalty imposed in this Judgment. For purposes of this paragraph, a “Related 16 Investor Action” means a private damages action brought against Defendant by or 17 on behalf of one or more investors based on substantially the same facts as alleged 18 in the Second Amended Complaint in this action. 19 The SEC may enforce the Court’s judgment for disgorgement and 20 prejudgment interest by moving for civil contempt (and/or through other collection 21 procedures authorized by law) at any time after 14 days following the date any 22 payment for disgorgement is due but not paid in full under the terms of this Final 23 Judgment. Defendant shall pay post judgment interest on any delinquent amounts 24 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961. 25 26 VI. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that, solely 27 for purposes of exceptions to discharge set forth in Section 523 of the Bankruptcy 28 Code, 11 U.S.C. §523, the allegations in the Second Amended Complaint are true 5 1 and admitted by Defendant, and further, any debt for disgorgement, prejudgment 2 interest, civil penalty or other amounts due by Defendant under this Final 3 Judgment or any other judgment, order, consent order, decree or settlement 4 agreement entered in connection with this proceeding, is a debt for the violation by 5 Defendant of the federal securities laws or any regulation or order issued under 6 such laws, as set forth in Section 523(a)(19) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 7 §523(a)(19). 8 VII. 9 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the 10 Consent is incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if fully set forth 11 herein, and that Field shall comply with all of the undertakings and agreements set 12 forth therein. 13 VIII. 14 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the 15 Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. No. 44) entered on August 18, 2009 is vacated as to 16 Field. 17 IX. 18 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that this 19 Court shall retain jurisdiction of this matter for the purposes of enforcing the terms 20 of this Final Judgment. 21 /// 22 /// 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 /// 6 X. 1 2 There being no just reason for delay, pursuant to Rule 54(b) for the Federal 3 Rules of Civil Procedure, the Clerk is ordered to enter this Final Judgment 4 forthwith and without further notice. 5 6 IT IS SO ORDERED. 7 8 9 DATED: February 23, 2016 _________________________________ HON.
