Just days after Samex Capital Advisors LLC employee and whistle blower Scott Noble turned over suspicious documents to authorities, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Indiana Securities Division filed a complaint and emergency motion to freeze the assets of Keenan Hauke, Samex Capital Partners LLC, and Samex Capital Advisors LLC.
According to court documents, Hauke “failed to disclose material facts in regards to the offering of securities” and “converted funds from the Samex Capital Partners LLC hedge fund for personal use.”
“I feel somewhat vindicated,” said Noble after hearing that investigators were seizing Hauke’s assets. “My suspicions were confirmed.”
Hauke, a resident of Windermere, started the hedge fund in 1999 claiming it was the first in the State of Indiana. An undisclosed number of investors were in the fund; however, Noble recalls “several dozen” of them from the Fishers area, including some neighbors of Hauke.
