An SEC investigation, which lead to the arrest of CRAIG BERKMAN in Florida and initiation of cease and desist proceedings, found that between October 2010 and September 2012, Berkman fraudulently raised at least $13.2 million from approximately 120 investors by selling membership interests in limited liability companies that he controlled. According to other reports,PAUL TABET allegedly co-managed venture capital fund VENTURES TRUST II with Berkman and raised more than $3 million from investors mostly in the Encinitas and San Diego area. The SEC previously issued subpoenas for financial records from PAUL TABET and his wife JENIFER TABET in connection with its investigation.
