Billionaire Brothers Samuel and Charles Wyly Charged With $550 Million Fraud By Jonathan Berr Posted 8:32AM 07/30/10 Posted under: People Share Billionaire brothers Samuel Wyly (pictured) and Charles Wyly were charged Thursday by the Securities & Exchange Commission with orchestrating a 13-year-long securities fraud that reaped them $550 million in undisclosed gains that were hidden in a series of transactions in the Isle of Man and the Cayman Islands tax havens. The SEC alleges that the brothers created an ?elaborate sham system of trusts and subsidiary companies? to sell more than $750 million worth of stock in four public companies for which they were corporate directors. The brothers also allegedly committed an insider-trading violation connected to one of the companies for an unlawful gain of more than $31.7 million. According to the SEC, the shares that the Wylys sold in the alleged scheme were of Michaels Stores, Sterling Software, Sterling Commerce, and Scottish Annuity & Life Holdings. The SEC also charged the Wyly?s attorney, Michael C. French, and their stockbroker, Louis J. Schaufele III. French was on the board of directors at three of the companies. ?The cloak of secrecy has been lifted from the complex web of foreign structures used by the Wylys to evade the securities laws,? said Lorin L. Reisner, deputy director of the SEC?s Division of Enforcement, in a press release. ?They used these structures to conceal hundreds of millions of dollars of gains in violation of the disclosure requirements for corporate insiders.? The Wylys have denied the charges and vowed to vigorously defend themselves, according to a statement obtained by Reuters. The Texas businessmen are hardly the only billionaires caught in the regulatory cross hairs at the moment. As Forbes notes, R. Allen Stanford, a fellow Texan, faces charges that he defrauded investors. Insider-trading charges against another Lone Star state resident, Dallas Mavericks owner and HDNet Chairman Mark Cuban, were dismissed last year. The conservative Wylys are also active politically. In 2000, a Samuel Wyly-backed group paid for ads praising the environmental record of George W. Bush during his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. His memoir, 1,000 Dollars and an Idea: Entrepreneur to Billionaire, was praised for offering a candid look at his rise from from the Texas cotton fields during the Depression to becoming a entrepreneur and environmentalist. The book?s website says it ?describes how his character was shaped, making him the spiritual, optimistic and determined man and entrepreneur he is today.? Those traits may come in handy as he battles the government.

The SEC needs to regulate all of these guys at a more closer level. Madoff, Goldman Sachs and now these guys and I will be willing to bet there are many more. Yet the Republicans, right wing media, Glen Beck, Hannity and the like, insist on blaming Obama for the financial mess this country is in. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, if anyone believes that the President of the United States is to blame, then I will just say to you. Denial is the culprit of society.

August 01 2010 at 1:02 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply andrc657 The republicans should give tax cuts to middle income folks who are working harder than ever but who could use a bit of extra money each week. The republicans should not give more tax cuts to the very wealthy who have more money than they need.

I worked for myself my whole life and did well. But the system is not fair. Many people worked harder than I and failed. Otheres did less and are far more sucessful. This idea that free enterprize was sent from the man the sky and we should all accept in, is brain washing by guilt: we get what we deserve. That is why people cheat on there taxes, insurance companies, casinos, banks, and why they(the big companies) are always cheating the public in some subtle way. Cheating is really part of our system, as is getting caught. The Eron scam and others could technically go on for ever , if people kept buying and selling their stocks as if they had value. Ask Kramer. It is still the best system, we just need not to delude ourselves and make sure everyone has health care and does not go hungry, if we are going to call ourselves anything but greedy and inhumane.

On the contrary, they encouraged these practices. These crooks are still in positions of power (Think Barney Frank, Stenny Hoyer, Joe Biden). 3/ The top Democrats set the example for corporate CEO?s to follow in being sly, sneaky, ruthless, deceitful, self-serving, and underhanded. Why shouldn?t corporations do what the top Democrats are so good at doing. (Think of the example of Bill and Hillary, who started out with little or nothing, and now are springing millions for their daughter?s wedding (to the son of another crook). They owe their millions to kickbacks and laundered money. Think of all the lives of people around them that they destroyed as they ruthlessly clawed their way to power).
