NEMAZEE DEFRAUDS BofA OF MORE THAN $142 MILLION

6. Starting in or about late 1997 and continuing until in or about July 2009, HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, began to borrow money from BofA. Among the borrowings of NEMAZEE from BofA were the following:

a. On or about May 5, 1998, NEMAZEE entered into a written arrangement to borrow up to $3.5 million from NationsBank of TX secured by NEMAZEE's interest in an apartment on Park Avenue in Manhattan (the "Park Avenue Apartment"). In order to obtain the loan secured by the Park Avenue Apartment and another $20 million line of credit, NEMAZEE falsely represented, in substance and in part, that he owned over $44 million of United States Treasury securities and over $74 million of other securities, held in 'a specified account at Westminster (the "NationsBank of TX Pledged Account"J .

b. In or about June 2001, NEMAZEE entered into a written arrangement with BofA to borrow approximately $1.4 million secured by NEMAZEE's interest in a home located in Katonah, New York (the "Katonah Property").

c. In or about September 2006, NEMAZEE entered

3

into two separate written arrangements with BofA whereby, in exchange for pledging certain collateral to BofA, NEMAZEE had the right to borrow up to $25 million on one lending facility and $75 million on another lending facility (the uFirst Secured BofA Loans"). In connection with the First Secured BofA Loans, NEMAZEE falsely represented, in substance and in part, that he owned a specified account (the uFirst BofA Pledged Account") at Westminster. NEMAZEE further falsely represented, in sUbstance and in part, that the First BofA Pledged Account contained over $139 million of United States Treasury securities.

d. In or about June 2007, NEMAZEE entered into a written arrangement with BofA to borrow approximately $1.032 million to purchase a fractional interest in a Cessna airplane.

e. In or about 2008, NEMAZEE entered into a writ~en arrangement with BofA to borrow over approximately $4.5 million in order to purchase two luxury apartments located on Warren Street in Manhattan.

f. In or about October 2008, NEMAZEE entered into a written arrangement with BofA whereby, in exchange for pledging certain collateral to BofA, NEMAZEE had the right to borrow up to $100 million 'from BofA (the uSecond Secured BofA Loan"). In addition to NEMAZEE'S being able to draw down upon the Second Secured BofA Loan, another company (the uCorporate Borrower") was also permitted to draw down upon the Second

4

Secured BofA Loan. As a result, the borrowers on the Second

Secured BofA Loan were NEMAZEE and the Corporate Borrower. An

individual residing in the State of New York and associated with

the Corporate Borrower (the "Victim") served as a guarantor on

the Second Secured BofA Loan and pledged as collateral for the

.

Second Secured BofA Loan a multimillion dollar Colorado home

owned by the Victim and his wife. In connection with the Second

Secured BofA Loan and in order to induce the Victim to agree to,

and serve as guarantor for, the Second Secured BofA Loan, NEMAZEE

falsely represerited, in substance and in part, that he held a

specified account (the ~Second BofA Pledged Account") at

Westminster and further falsely represented, in substance and in

part, that the Second BofA Pledged Account contained over $88

million of United States Treasury securitie~.

7. As of approximately September 2009, HASSAN

NEMAZEE, the defendant, owed BofA, including its subsidiaries,

approximately $142.42 million. For example, as a result of an

interstate facsimile transmission from NEMAZEE's office in New

York, New York, to a BofA office in Texas, on or about December

31, 2008, NEMAZEE drew down upon the Second Secured BofA Loan in

the amount of $15.0 million.

8. In truth and in fact, the NationsBank of TX

Pledged Account, thy First BofA Pledged Account, and the Second

BofA Pledged Account did not exist and HASSAN NEMAZEE, the

5

defendant, did not own the millions of dollars of United states Treasury and other securities that he had pledged to NationsBank of TX and BofA as collateral for the loans described in paragraph 6, above.

NEMAZEE DEFRAUDS CITIBANK OF $74,91 MILLION

9. On or about August 22, 2005, HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, entered into a written arrangement with Citibank, whereby Citibank agreed to lend NEMAZEE, on an unsecured basis, up to $25 million from Citibank (the "Unsecured Citibank Loan"). In connection with this lending arrangement, NEMAZEEfalsely represented to Citibank that he owned over $500 million in United States Treasury securities, $100 million of which had, he further falsely represented, been pledged to Bank of America. The Unsecured Citibank Loan was extended multiple times, most recently as of on or about November 20, 2008, when the outstanding balance that NEMAZEE owed Citibank on the Unsecured Citibank Loan was over $20 million.

10. On or about December 22, 2006, HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, entered into a written arrangement with Citibank whereby, in exchange for pledging certain collateral to Citibank, NEMAZEE had the right to borrow up to $25 million from Citibank

(the "Secured Citibank Loan"). The terms of the Secured Citibank Loan were modified multiple times, most recently as of on or about November 20, 2008, when the amount of funds that NEMAZEE

6

could borrow from Citibank was increased to $80 million.

11. In connection with the Se.cured Citibank Loan and

its subsequent modifications, HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, falsely represented, in substance and in part, that he held a specified account (the "Citibank Pledged Account") at Westminster. NEMAZEE further falsely represented, in substance and in part, that the Citibank Pledged Account contained millions of dollars of united States Treasury securities.

12. In truth and in fact, the Citibank Pledged Account did not exist and HASSANNEMAZEE, the defendant, did not own the millions of dollars of united States Treasury securities that he

had pledged to Citibank as collateral for his loans from Citibank. Nor did NEMAZEE own over $500 million in United States

Treasury sec~rities at any time during which the Unsecured Citibank Loan was outstanding.

13. As of approximately August 23, 2009, HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, owed Citibank approximately $74.91 million.

NEMAZEE DEFRAUDS HSBC TO PAY OFF HIS DEBT TO CITIBANK

14. Starting in or about early 2009, HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, began meeting with representatives of HSBC regarding a line of credit. In the course of his meetings and communications with HSBC, NEMAZEE falsely represented, in substance and in part, to HSBC that he held two specified

7

accounts at Westminster, one of which would serve as pledged collateral for the line of credit from HSBC (the "HSBC Pledged Account"). NEMAZEE further falsely represented, in substance and in part, that the HSBC Pledged Account held over $125 million in United States Treasury securities and that the other account at Westminster held over $636 million of United States Treasury securities.

15. Thereafter, in or about August 2009, HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, entered into a written arrangement with HSBC whereby, in exchange for pledging the United States Treasury securities in the HSBC Pledged Account as collateral to HSBC, NEMAZEE had the right to borrow up to $100 million from HSBC (the "Secured HSBC Loan").

16. In truth and in fact, the HSBC Pledged Account did not exist and HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, did not own the millions of dollars of United States Treasury securities that he had pledged to HSBC as collateral for his loans from HSBC. Nor did NEMAZEE own over $636 million in United States Treasury securities at any time during which the Secured HSBC Loan was outstanding.

17. In or about the beginning of August 2009, representatives of Citibank began to seek from HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, verification of the existence of the assets held in the Citibank Pledged Account.

8

18. On or about August 23, 2009, HASSAN NEMAZEE, the

defendant, was met in person by Special Agents of the Federal

Bureau of Investigation. At the time, NEMAZEE was intending to

board an international flight, and questioned about, among other

things, the existence of the collateral for the Citibank loans.

19. On or about the afternoon of August 24, 2009, and

in order to avoid discovery that the collateral for the Secured

Citibank Loan that had been pledged by NEMAZEE did not, in fact,

exist, HASSAN NEMAZEE, the defendant, drew down upon the Secured

HSBC Loan in the amount of approximately $74.91 million,

substantially all of which was used to repay NEMAZEE's

outstanding loan to Citibank.

MEANS AND METHODS BY WHICH NEMAZEE DEFRAUDED BofA, CITIBANK, AND HSBC

20. Among the means and methods by which HASSAN

NEMAZEE, the defendant, carried out the fraud upon BofA,

Citibank, and HSBC were the following:

a. NEMAZEE provided to BofA, Citibank, and HSBC

fake account statements evidencing his ownership of United States

Treasury and other securities at Westminster, which contained a

telephone number purportedly for Westminster, but which was in

fact assigned to a "virtual office" that NEMAZEE himself had

established.

b. NEMAZEE forged the signatures of

representatives of Westminster, Pershing, and another entity

9

relating to Pershing known as Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC

("PAS") on various documents relating to his borrowings that he

provided at various times to BofA, Citibank, and HSBC.

c. NEMAZEE established at least two "virtual

offices" at locations in Manhattan that held themselves out,at

NEMAZEE's direction, as being associated with Westminster and

Pershing. As a result, in the event that representatives of

BofA, Citibank, or HSBC sought to confirm the existence of the

assets reflected on the fraudulent documents submitted by

NEMAZEE, they would, in fact, have been contacting a telephone

number at one of the virtual offices assigned to NEMAZEE himself,

and not Westminster, Pershing, or PAS.

d. NEMAZEE made partial repayments on his

borrowings from BofA with proceeds of his fraud on Citibank.

e. NEMAZEE made at least one partial repayment

on his borrowings from Citibank with proceeds of his fraud on

BofA.

NEMAZEE'S USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF HIS BANK FRAUD SCHEMES

21. Among other ways that HASSAN NEMAZEE, the

defendant, used the proceeds of his frauds on BofA and Citibank

,-

were the following:

a. NEMAZEE made numerous donations to the

election campaigns of federal, state, and local candidates.

b. NEMAZEE made numerous donations to various

10

political action committees.

c. NEMAZEE made numerous donations to various

charities.

d. NEMAZEE purchased real property in Italy.

e. NEMAZEE made monthly maintenance payments on the Park Avenue Apartment and paid expenses associated with the Katonah Property.

f. NEMAZEE purchased part of a yacht.
