The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ordered a Florida-based fund administrator to pay more than $122,000 to settle allegations it missed red flags regarding a $39 million fraud.
Theorem Fund Services agreed to pay a $100,000 penalty, disgorgement of $18,000, and prejudgment interest of $4,271, the SEC announced in a press release Monday. The firm consented to cease and desist from further violations.
From approximately January 2018 through March 2019, Theorem served as the administrator for a Detroit-based hedge fund adviser shut down by the SEC in May 2022 for running a “Ponzi-like” scheme that included the misappropriation and misuse of investors’ funds.
