AN ITexas businessmen named iin securities fraud lawsuit 0 ■ Associated Press ^ , 1 j DALLAS — Two Texas business- ,, men have been named by the Securi- ^ ties and Exchange Commission in $ lawsuit alleging securities fraud that involves $10 million worth of stock oi-bv ^ traded at brokerage firms in four states. j# “This is a nationwide scheme,” ■gi Hugo Wright, enforcement officer for the Fort Worth office of the SEC told The Dallas Morning News. Two Dallas offices of the broker- ,, age firms Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. and E.F. Hutton & Co. may have 'fit ‘Suffered losses as a result of the de- .—^ fehdants’ actions, according to the D 0 1 SEC suit. . The Fort Worth and New York offices of the SEC filed a civil lawsuit Monday against five businessmen in the case. The complaint, filed in U.S. Dis trict Court for the Southern District of New York, named the following defendants: Thomas W. Reid of Grandview, a businessman and pri vate investor; Maurice Rind of Los Angeles, a businessman and former stockbroker; and B&M Investments Inc., a Texas corporation of which Rind is president. Reid’s attorney Marty Caplan in New York said “I can tell you that Mr. Reid denies the allegations against him.” A secretary in Rogers’ office said he was “not reachable” and the other defendants could not be reached. The suit says that since January 1983, the defendants “engaged in a scheme to defraud broker-dealers across the nation by purchasing se curities of First City Properties Inc. (of Beverly Hills), among other com panies, without intending to make payment, a practice known as ‘free riding.’ ” The suit says the defendants bought $10 million worth of stock from a number of brokerage firms, including Dean Witter Reynolds and E.F. Hutton. The defendants, according to the suit, either “failed completely to pay on a timely basis or failed to deposit the required margin into their ac counts.” Actual losses to the brokerage firms when they were forced to sell the securities amounted to more than $500,000, the complaint says. - —" - - I ...n.,. in i ' ■' \ pi Martel's 2 DAYS ONLY Coupon!
