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.
