Thereafter defendant McGrath Securities Corporation purchased, in a routine transaction from a securities broker-dealer not named as defendant, and sold at retail 1,000 shares of the total of 162,675 shares. Thereafter in a similar manner defendant McGrath Securities Corporation purchased and retailed in routine transactions an additional 6,000 shares of these 162,675 shares. (Exhibit 4 of plaintiff.)

32. John J. McKenna, an attorney at law for more than 10 years, was vice-president of defendant McGrath Securities Corporation from August 12, 1955, until October 1, 1956, and during such period also acted as “house counsel”.

33. A meeting occurred in the office of McGrath Securities Corporation and Robert C. Leonhardt in January 1956 between John J. McKenna and defendant John Herschorn, and at that time Mc-Kenna knew the defendant Herschorn to be an attorney at law engaged in practice in the city of Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada. After the meeting Mc-Kenna did business with defendant Hersehorn in his capacity as an officer of McGrath Securities Corporation.

34. John J. McKenna, in his capacity as an officer of defendant McGrath Securities Corporation, also met the defendant Louis Levin in January 1956 and at that time McKenna knew him to be an attorney at law engaged in practice in the city of Montreal.

35. John J. McKenna, in his capacity as an officer of defendant McGrath Securities Corporation, met with the defendant Louis Levin several times a month after the initial meeting, and as the months went on McKenna saw the defendant Louis Levin more and more frequently, especially in the summer of 1956.

36. As a result of the meetings with defendant Louis Levin, John McKenna, in his capacity as an officer of defendant McGrath Securities Corporation, became familiar with the business operations of the defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. and kept currently abreast with developments in the corporation. In particular McKenna learned that defendant Louis Levin divided his time “about equally between Canada and Long Island and New York City”, and that the defendant corporation had moved its place of business in the United States from Mineóla to Farmingdale, New York.

37. Defendant Albert J. Grayson owns and controls A. J. Grayson & Co. of New Jersey, Inc., which has been registered with the plaintiff as a broker-dealer in securities since April 27, 1956; and A. J. Grayson & Co. of Maryland, Inc., which has been registered with the plaintiff as a broker-dealer in securities since May 26, 1956. (Exhibit 5 and 6 of plaintiff.)

38. As an accommodation loan, arranged by defendants Louis Levin and Robert C. Leonhardt, defendant Albert J. Grayson gave his note for $100,000 to a bank located in New York State on or about December 21, 1955; defendant Levin deposited 195,000 shares of common stock of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., as collateral security; and that the proceeds of the loan were turned over to defendant Levin. (Exhibits 5 and 6 of plaintiff.)

39. As an accommodation loan, arranged by defendant Louis Levin and Robert C. Leonhardt, defendant Albert J. Grayson gave his note for $100,000 to the same bank on or about July 9, 1956; there were deposited 200,000 shares of common stock of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., registered in the name of John Herschorn, as collateral security; and that the proceeds of the loan were turned over to defendant Louis Levin. (Exhibits 5 and 6 of plaintiff.)

40. For some time prior to July 1, 1956, defendants Albert J. Grayson and A. J. Grayson & Co., Inc. effected numerous and substantial purchases of securities, including the stock of the defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., from the defendants McGrath Securities Corporation and Robert C. Leonhardt, as they did from numerous other brokers. (Exhibits 5 and 6 of plaintiff.)

41. Defendants Albert J. Grayson and A. J. Grayson & Co., Inc. purchased at $1.00 per share, along with A. J. Gray-son & Co. of New Jersey, Inc. and A. J. Grayson & Co. of Maryland, Inc., through the use of the mails, from the defendant McGrath Securities Corporation, a total of 207,000 shares of the common stock of the defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., registered in the name of Crawford & Co., securities nominee for defendant McGrath Securities Corporation, in the period from July 17, 1956 to October 10, 1956. These defendants admit that through the use of the mails they caused the transfer of these shares to numerous public investors residing in the United States, named in the following indicated letters of instructions to transfer agent, for the purpose of completing the prior public sales of 207,000 shares of said stock to the public investors, at an average price of $1% per share, effected through the use of the mails, by agents and employees of said defendants:

83. Defendants Rockwell Securities Corporation and Garland L. Culpepper, Jr., admit that defendant Garland L. Culpepper, Jr., while president of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., during the period from 1954 to April 1956, knew that the defendant Robert C. Leonhardt, as president of McGrath Securities Corporation, along with several other brokers and dealers, had made periodic inquiries regarding the affairs of Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. On the extent of the participation of defendants Robert C. Leonhardt and McGrath Securities Corporation in the over-the-counter market for the securities of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., these defendants knew that defendant McGrath Securities Corporation, along with several other brokers and dealers, traded and quoted such stock and that quotations by Mc-Grath Securities Corporation, together with other brokers and dealers, appeared in National 'Quotation Service daily sheets. (Exhibit 15 of plaintiff.).

84. While defendant Garland L. Culpepper Jr. was the president of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Tnc., the defendant Louis Levin in late 1954 or early 1955 became identified with the corporation in an executive capacity and later succeeded defendant Garland L. Culpepper Jr. as president of the corporation. During this period contacts between the defendants Garland L. Culpepper, Jr. and Louis Levin were routine and mostly by telephone. After resigning as president of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., the defendant, Garland L. Culpepper Jr. as president of defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation, had limited communications with defendant Louis Levin, confined to inquiries and reports on the affairs of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., which defendant Louis Levin saw fit to make available to brokers and dealers trading in the stock of Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., including defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation. (Exhibit 15 of plaintiff.)

85. Defendants Rockwell Securities Corporation and Garland L. Culpepper, Jr., met the defendant John Herschorn for the first time in September 1956, in New York City, when John Herschorn offered certain stock for sale to Rockwell Securities Corporation and John Herschorn represented himself to be a Canadian attorney. (Exhibit 15 of plaintiff.)

86. The defendant John Herschorn, on or about September 18, 1956, delivered to the defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation stock certificate J 30120 representing 20,000 shares of the common stock of’defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. registered in the name of said defendant John Herschorn. Defendant, Rockwell Securities Corporation purchased 5,000 of these shares at 90 cents per share at or about that time. ■ Defendant, Rockwell Securities Corporation, through a letter of instruction to the transfer agent, caused the certificate J 30120 for 20,000 shares to be cancelled, and 15,000 of these shares to be re-issued in certificates J 34363/65 registered in the name of defendant John Herschorn and returned to him. All of the 5,000 shares purchased by Rockwell Securities Corporation from defendant John Herschorn were sold by Rockwell Securities Corporation for its firm account on or before, September 20, 1956, at an average price of $1% per share. These shares were transferred into the names of such purchasers and these sales were completed and executed through the use of the mails by agents and employees of the defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation. (Exhibit 15 of plaintiff.)

87. On or about September 18, 1956, defendant Robert C. Leonhardt delivered or caused to be delivered to the defendant Garland L. Culpepper Jr. stock certificate J 32932 of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., which represented 45,000 shares of the common stock of that defendant company, registered in the name of Leigh & Company, to repay a loan of 45,000 shares of the stock made by the defendant Garland L. Culpepper Jr. to the defendant Robert C. Leonhardt, on or about June 28, 1956. Thereafter, the defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation, through a letter of instruction dated September 18, 1956, (Exhibit A of defendants Rockwell Securities Corporation and Garland L. Culpepper, Jr.,) caused the transfer agent to cancel certificate J 32932 and re-issue 1,400 of these shares directly to purchasers in certificates J 33422/25 and the balance, 43,600 shares, certificates J 33426 to J 33501, in the name of Leigh & Company.

88. The defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation, caused this total of 45,-000 shares of the common stock to be sold to purchasers at an average price of $1% per share. These shares were transferred in to the names of purchasers and the sales were completed and executed through the use of the mails by agents and employees of the defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation. (Exhibit 15 of plaintiff.)

89. The defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation and Garland L. Culpepper Jr. produced copies of seven of the letters of instruction of defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation to the transfer agent causing the transfers of the 43,600 shares to public investors. Each of these letters indicates the certificates surrendered of the series J 33426 to J 33501 and the names of the public purchasers. (Exhibits 16A to 16G, inclusive, of plaintiff.)

The last of these letters, dated December 6, 1956, forwarded for transfer to public customers certificates J 33450 and J 33465, each for 1000 shares, along with several other certificates. (Exhibit 16G of plaintiff.) The customers ledger pages of the defendant Rockwell Securities Corporation (Exhibits 19A and 19B of plaintiff) disclose that the sales of the securities listed in the letter of December 6, 1956, were effected in the month preceding the letter of instructions.

Findings of Fact on the Affirmative Defense Pleaded by Several of the Defendants

90. On December 20, 1955, defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. issued and delivered to the Peeby Company, Inc., a Canadian Corporation, 1,200,000 shares of its common stock for all of the assets of the latter company. Thereupon, Peeby Company, Inc. distributed these 1.200.000 shares pro rata to its 20 stockholders. Defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. claimed that the transaction was effected, without the filing of a registration statement, in reliance upon the provisions of Rule 230.133 of General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933 (230.133 RCP). Immediately, after the issuance of the 1.200.000 shares there were outstanding 2,947,355 shares of said common stock.

91. The 20 stockholders granted the defendant Louis Levin powers of attorney to sell their shares of the total of 1.200.000 shares of the common stock of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc.

92. At about the time of this transaction the defendants Louis Levin, Robert C. Leonhardt, and Albert J. Grayson each borrowed $100,000 from a bank located in the State of New York. Furthermore, the- defendant Louis Levin, through the powers of attorney, pledged 600.000 shares of the 1,200,000 shares of the common stock as collateral security for the loans.

93. It is the position of the defendant parties concerned that the $300,000 obtained through the loans was turned over to the defendant Louis Levin.

94. The defendant Louis Levin, under the authorizations conferred by the powers of attorney, sold the 1,200,000 shares of common stock through broker-dealers in New York, including the defendant McGrath Securities Corporation.

95. The sales of these 1,200,000 shares of common stock were completed on or about the end of May 1956.

96. A Securities Investigator in the performance of his official duties, as an employee of the plaintiff, visited the principal office of the defendants Mc-Grath Securities Corporation and Robert C. Leonhardt for the purpose of making a routine inspection of the books and records of said defendant registrant “in the early spring of 1956” (Tr P 20); “perhaps between March and April” (Tr P 50). The Securities Investigator, after spending several hours examining the books, asked John J. McKenna, Esq., in his capacity as vice-president and house counsel of defendant McGrath Securities Corporation, about the defendant Louis Levin, because that defendant’s name appeared on the records of the corporation as the seller of a substantial number of shares of the common stock of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. At the time of this inspection and conversation more than half of the 1,200,000 shares had been sold. “There might have been 400,000 shares left.” (Tr P 24.) The Securities Investigator also asked John J. McKenna, Esq. what exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 had been relied upon by defendant registrant in effecting the sales of unregistered shares. In reply John J. McKenna, Esq. stated that these sales had been effected by persons not in a control relationship to defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. Therefore, the transactions were exempt from registration under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, (15 U.S.C. § 77d (1)) 15 U.S.C.A. § 77d(l). In this connection John J. McKenna, Esq. described the Peeby Company, Inc. transaction and produced for inspection the powers of attorney granted defendant Louis Levin and two letter opinions dated December 20, 1955 of attorney E. Blummer. (Tr P 23 ff and Exhibits C, D and E of defendants McGrath Securities Corporation and Robert C. Leonhardt.)

97. During this conference the Securities Investigator and John J. McKenna, Esq. generally discussed the facts of the bank loans for which the indicated 600,000 shares were pledged as collateral, while the powers of attorney were inspected. In the course of the interview the Securities Investigator requested and received a copy of the standard form of the aforesaid powers of attorney.

98. Several days after the inspection and interview, the Securities Investigator requested John J. McKenna, Esq. to discuss the powers of attorney with a Chief Investigator at the New York office of the plaintiff. In the words of the said John J. McKenna, Esq. (Tr P 29):

“The purpose — the main purpose —the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the powers of attorney which employees of the SEC believed were not adequate for Mr. Levin to hypothecate the shares involved.”

After a discussion at some length it was suggested the matter be discussed further with a chief attorney on the staff. In the third conference that followed, John J. McKenna, Esq. recollects that he was informed that the powers of attorney appeared inadequate for the purposes of hypothecation and that the language in the powers should be made more specific. As a result of this latter conference John J. McKenna, Esq. caused the powers of attorney to be revised and “we gave a photostatic copy of the revised power of attorney to the SEC”. (Tr P 29 ff.)

99. The Peeby Company, Inc. transaction and subsequent public distribution by registered dealers of the 1,200,000 shares of common stock, in the main followed the same pattern as the later Converter Acceptance Corporation liquidation which is the basis of the complaint.

100. The local Regional Administrator for the plaintiff, in a confidential staff memorandum dated April 20, 1956, directed an investigation be made of the Peeby Company, Inc. transaction of the defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. (Tr P 316 ff; Exhibit 20 of plaintiff.)

101. Some time prior to July 17, 1956, the defendants Albert J. Grayson and A. J. Grayson & Co., Inc. learned of the investigation, for these defendants were requested by a representative of the plaintiff to submit the details of transactions effected in the common stock of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. during the period from January 1, 1956, to May 31, 1956. (Tr P 346; Exhibit 25 of plaintiff.)

102. Some time prior to August 17, 1956, John J. McKenna, Esq., then vice-president and house counsel of defendant McGrath Securities Corporation, obtained for consideration, in connection with the investigation, the basic documents relating to the Peeby Company, Inc. transaction of defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. (Tr P 340; Exhibit 24 of plaintiff.)

103. The first references to the Converters Acceptance Corporation transaction of June 21, 1956 was during a recorded examination of defendant Robert C. Leonhardt, with his attorney, John J. McKenna, Esq. on October 22 and 25, 1956, conducted by a representative of the plaintiff as part of the investigation of the Peeby Company, Inc. transaction.

104. The record of the examinations of October 22 and 25, 1956, does not contain any reference to a list of individuals purportedly in a control relationship to the defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc. The record of the examinations discloses that the representative of the plaintiff conducting these examinations advised the defendants Robert C. Leonhardt and John J. McKenna, Esq., on the question of control relationship, that an opinion about it would have to be obtained from the Interpretative Division of the local Regional Office of the plaintiff. Moreover, no other advice on this question was given off the record by the representative to the defendant Robert C. Leonhardt and his attorney.

105. The local Regional Administrator for the plaintiff, in a confidential staff memorandum dated November 8, 1956, initiated the investigation of the Converters Acceptance Corporation transaction of the defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., which is the basis of this action.

106. On the particular findings relating to the affirmative defense pleaded either formally or by way of record stipulation by the defendants concerned, the attorneys for the plaintiff objected to the introduction of any evidence in support of the defense on the grounds that it was not good in law, was immaterial and irrelevant, contained improper matter and involved other grounds for objection. Moreover, the attorneys for the plaintiff noted an exception to the general interlocutory ruling of the Court allowing the introduction of the evidence.

22. The ex parte restraining order o£ January 10, 1957, extensions thereof, and the preliminary injunction entered March 6, 1957, against defendants Rockwell Securities Corporation and Garland L. Culpepper Jr. were necessary in the public interest.

23. Defendant Micro-Moisture Controls, Inc., through its officers, made possible the public sales of the total.of at least 710,623 unregistered shares of the common stock of that defendant corporation by the indicated defendants acting as underwriters, by arranging with knowledge for required transfers after public sales of these shares through the use of the mails to the numerous public purchasers, within the purview of Section 5(a)(2) of the Securities Act, T5 U.S.C. § 77e(a) 2, 15 U.S.C.A. § 77e(a) (2).

25.
