CHRISTINA A. SNYDER, District Judge.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") having filed a Complaint and Defendant Jeremy Joseph Drake ("Drake" or "Defendant") having entered a general appearance; consented to the Court's jurisdiction over Defendant and the subject matter of this action; consented to entry of this Judgment; waived findings of fact and conclusions of law; and waived any right to appeal from this Judgment (except that Defendant has not waived his right to appeal the Court's determination of the amounts of disgorgement and prejudgment interest that Defendant may be ordered to pay pursuant to paragraph II below):
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Defendant is permanently restrained and enjoined from violating, directly or indirectly, Section 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 [15 U.S.C. §§ 80b-6(1) and 80b-6(2)], by the use of the mails or any means or instrumentalities of interstate commerce:
(a) to employ any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud any client or prospective client; or
(b) to engage in any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates as a fraud or deceit upon any client or prospective client.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that, as provided in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(2), the foregoing paragraph also binds the following who receive actual notice of this Judgment by personal service or otherwise: (a) Defendant's officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys; and (b) other persons in active concert or participation with Defendant or with anyone described in (a).
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that, upon motion of the SEC, the Court shall determine whether it is appropriate to order Defendant to pay disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and, if so, the amount of disgorgement. If disgorgement is ordered, Defendant shall pay prejudgment interest thereon, calculated from August 1, 2016, based on the rate of interest used by the Internal Revenue Service for the underpayment of federal income tax as set forth in 26 U.S.C. § 6621(a)(2). In connection with the SEC's motion for disgorgement, and at any hearing held on such a motion: (a) Defendant will be precluded from arguing that he did not violate the federal securities laws as alleged in the Complaint; (b) Defendant may not challenge the validity of the Consent or this Judgment; (c) solely for the purposes of such motion, the allegations of the Complaint shall be accepted as and deemed true by the Court; and (d) the Court may determine the issues raised in the motion on the basis of affidavits, declarations, excerpts of sworn deposition or investigative testimony, and documentary evidence, without regard to the standards for summary judgment contained in Rule 56(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In connection with the SEC's motion for disgorgement, the parties may take discovery, including discovery from appropriate non-parties. Defendant's disgorgement and prejudgment interest obligation shall be credited by any amounts that Defendant is ordered to pay as restitution in the criminal case United States v. Jeremy Joseph Drake, Case No. 18-CR00058-CAS-1, which is pending in the Central District of California.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the SEC has determined to forgo seeking a civil penalty against Defendant, and the claim for a civil penalty against Defendant is hereby DISMISSED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the Consent of Jeremy Joseph Drake to Entry of Judgment is incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein, and that Defendant shall comply with all of the undertakings and agreements set forth therein.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that, for purposes of exceptions to discharge set forth in Section 523 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §523, the allegations in the complaint are true and admitted by Defendant, and further, any debt for disgorgement, prejudgment interest, civil penalty or other amounts due by Defendant under this Judgment or any other judgment, order, consent order, decree or settlement agreement entered in connection with this proceeding, is a debt for the violation by Defendant of the federal securities laws or any regulation or order issued under such laws, as set forth in Section 523(a)(19) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(19).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that this Court shall retain jurisdiction of this matter for the purposes of enforcing the terms of this Judgment.
