\t\t\t\tAccording to Securities & Exchange Commission Administrative Law Judge Brenda Murray, former Ferris, Baker Watts, Inc. general counsel Theodore Urban did not fail to reasonably supervise<\/a> broker, Stephen Glantz, who has admitted to his involvement in a stock market manipulating scheme<\/a> involving Innotrac Corp. stock. Murray says that Urban performed his job in a “thorough and reasonable manner” and that he was careful and objective. <\/p>\n

Urban had been accused of allegedly abdicating his supervisory responsibilities by not responding to red flags related to the Glantz’s alleged misconduct even though prior to the broker’s hiring, he had already been flagged because of several customer complaints and his “questionable reputation in the industry.” <\/p>\n

The SEC would later also find that Glantz had been involved in unauthorized, manipulative transactions of TC Healthcare, Inc. stock in February 2005. After pleading guilty to violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in 2007 he was sentenced to 33 months in prison and ordered to pay $110,000 in restitution <\/p>\n

When determining whether Urban, who was Glantz’s supervisor, properly supervised him in a manner intended to prevent securities fraud violations, ALJ Murray noted that per the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, a person cannot be held liable for supervisory deficiencies if the proper procedures that should have detected and stopped the violations were applied and the person had no reasonable grounds to believe that the procedures were not being followed.<\/p>\n
