This is a healthcare soap opera if you have ever heard one.  I guess living here I’m imageprobably a little closer to this and have friends who work for IHHI and it is a mess and a Ponzi scheme.  Here we go back to 2009 where Capital Holdings was closed and the hospitals didn’t know if they were going to stay afloat or not.  There’ still no final word from the SEC so I guess a good thing here that FINRA stepped.

But it gets worse than that…we had pornography and big expensive yacht in here too…IHHI’s Mogel and MCH’s Lampariello took an interest in securing a $5 million loan for a company called EMark Advertising Inc., which specializes in pornographic website advertising and of which MCH holds a 50 percent ownership interest. In depositions attached to IHHI’s lawsuit against a group of doctors and IHHI shareholders called Orange County Physicians Investment Network (OCPIN).  Mogel had his own personal issues with planting a gun and trying to frame another individual too while he was there.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA

) has sanctioned  eight firms and 10 individuals, and ordered restitution totaling more than $3.2 million, for selling interests in private placement offerings without having a reasonable basis for recommending the securities.image

The firms and individuals sold interests in several high-risk private placements, including those issued by Provident Royalties, LLC, Medical Capital Holdings, Inc. and DBSI, Inc., which ultimately failed, causing significant investor losses.

From 2001 through 2009, Medical Capital Holdings, a medical receivables financing company based in Anaheim, CA, raised approximately $2.2 billion from over 20,000 investors through nine private placement offerings of promissory notes.

Medical Capital made interest and principal payments on its promissory notes until July 2008, when it began experiencing liquidity problems and stopped making payments on notes sold in two of its earlier offerings. Nevertheless, Medical Capital proceeded with its last offering, Medical Provider Funding Corporation VI, offered through an August 2008 private placement memorandum.

In July 2009, the SEC filed a civil injunctive action in federal district court in which it sought, and was granted, a preliminary injunction to stop all Medical Capital sales. The court appointed a receiver to gather and conduct an inventory of Medical Capital's remaining assets. The SEC action is pending.image

DeRosa was also suspended for 20 business days in any capacity and for an additional two months in any principal capacity, and fined $25,000. Vincent Michael Bruno, the firm's Chief Compliance Officer at the time, was suspended for one month in a principal capacity and fined $10,000.

Boppre, a former principal, was suspended in any principal capacity for six months and fined $10,000 in connection with the sale of three Provident Royalties private placements and a Medical Capital private placement.
