ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING

File No. 3-15429

In the Matter of

North East Capital, LLC 

and Anthony T. Vicidomine,

Respondents.

PROPOSED PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

1. Purpose and Background. This Proposed Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) has 

been developed pursuant to Rule 1101 of the Commission’s Rules on Fair Fund and 

Disgorgement Plans (“Rules”), 17 C.F.R. § 201.1101. The Plan proposes a distribution of the 

funds collected from North East Capital, LLC (“North East Capital”) and Anthony T. 

Vicidomine (“Vicidomine”) (collectively, “Respondents”) to investors in North East Capital

Fund LP (“North East Fund”), a pooled investment vehicle founded and managed by 

Respondents. 

On August 16, 2013, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative and 

Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21C 

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Sections 203(f) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers 

Act of 1940, and Section 9(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, Making Findings, and 

Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order (“Order”) against Respondents 

(Securities Act Rel. No. 9442 (Aug. 16, 2013)). The Order found that Vicidomine was the 

founder and sole principal of North East Capital, an unregistered investment adviser and general 

partner of the North East Fund. The Order further found, among other things, that from 

November 2011 through March 2012, Vicidomine misappropriated $189,415 of the North East 

Fund’s assets in the form of unearned “incentive fees.” 

The Order requires Respondents to cease and desist from committing or causing directly 

or indirectly any violations and any future violations of Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act 

of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and 

Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-8 

thereunder. The Order bars Vicidomine from associating with any broker, dealer, investment 

adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized 

statistical rating organization, and prohibits Vicidomine from serving or acting as an employee, 

officer, director, member of an advisory board, investment adviser or depositor of, or principal 
2

underwriter for, a registered investment company or affiliated person of such investment adviser, 

depositor, or principal underwriter, with the right to apply for reentry after five years. 

Respondents also were ordered to pay, jointly and severally, disgorgement of $189,415,

prejudgment interest of $6,717.04, and a civil money penalty of $150,000. 

In accordance with the Order, Respondents paid a total of $345,911 in disgorgement, 

prejudgment interest, and civil monetary penalties to the Commission. 

The Order created a Fair Fund pursuant Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 

2002, as amended, for the funds paid by the Respondents (the “Fair Fund”). The Fair Fund is

subject to the continuing jurisdiction and control of the Commission and the Fair Fund is 

currently on deposit in a Commission designated interest-bearing account at the United States 

Department of Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”). The Plan is subject to approval by the Commission, 

and the Commission retains jurisdiction over the implementation of the Plan.

Under the Plan, the Fair Fund, less any reserve for taxes, fees or other expenses of 

administering the Plan (the “Net Fair Fund”), will be distributed to Eligible Investors as set forth

in paragraph 5 below. It is anticipated that there will be one disbursement to the Eligible 

Investors.

2. Fund Administrator. Nancy Chase Burton, Supervisory Assistant Chief Litigation 

Counsel in the Commission’s Division of Enforcement’s Office of Distributions, is proposed to 

be the administrator of the Fair Fund (the “Fund Administrator”). As a Commission employee, 

the Fund Administrator receives no compensation from the Fair Fund for her services in 

administering the Fair Fund. In accordance with Rule 1105(c), 17 C.F.R. § 201.1105(c), no bond 

is required since the Fund Administrator is a Commission employee. In carrying out her duties, 

the Fund Administrator may be assisted by other Commission staff acting under her supervision. 

The Fund Administrator will, among other things: oversee the administration of the Fair 

Fund, obtain mailing information for the Eligible Investors as defined in paragraph 5 below, 

distribute money from the assets of the Fair Fund in accordance with the Plan, resolve disputes, 

prepare a final accounting with assistance from the tax administrator, and provide the tax 

administrator with funds to pay tax liabilities and tax compliance fees and costs, pursuant to the 

Omnibus Order Directing the Appointment of Tax Administrator in Administrative Proceedings 

that Establish Distribution Funds (Exchange Act Rel. No. 68683 (Jan. 17, 2013)). 

3 Qualified Settlement Fund. The Fair Fund constitutes a Qualified Settlement 

Fund (“QSF”) under Section 468B(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. § 468B(g), and 

related regulations, 26 C.F.R. §§ 1.468B-1 through 1.468B-5.

4. Tax Administrator. The Commission has appointed Damasco and Associates, 

LLP as the Tax Administrator (“Tax Administrator”) of the Fair Fund (Exchange Act Rel. 

No. 72419 (June 18, 2014)). The Fund Administrator will cooperate with the Tax 

Administrator in providing information necessary to accomplish income tax compliance of 

the QSF. The Tax Administrator will be compensated for all reasonable costs and expenses 

from the Fair Fund in accordance with its 2013-2015 Engagement Letter Agreement with 

the Commission. The Fair Fund’s taxes will be paid out of the Fair Fund.

5. Specification of Eligible Investors. Except as noted below, eligible investors are 

persons who invested in the North East Fund and who suffered a net loss amount (“Eligible 

Investors”). Investors ineligible to participate in this Plan are those investors in the North East 

Fund who (i) provided funds to Respondents for the purpose of satisfying, in whole or in part, 

the Order entered against Respondents, and/or (ii) received, separate and apart from payments 

stemming from such investor’s principal investment in the North East Fund, any pecuniary 

benefit (including, but not limited to any loans or payments) from North East Capital or the 

North East Fund.

6. No claims-made process. The Fair Fund is not being distributed according to a 

claims-made process, so the procedures for providing notice and for making and approving 

claims are not applicable.

7. Methodology for Determining Distribution Amounts. The Commission staff 

determined the amount to be distributed to each Eligible Investor as follows. First, the staff 

totaled the actual principal invested for each Eligible Investor in the North East Fund. Second, 

the staff subtracted from this total amount all actual payments an Eligible Investor received from 

the North East Fund including redemptions, withdrawals, and any other payments. This resulting 

total is an Eligible Investor’s net loss amount (“Net Loss Amount”). Third, the staff added the 

Net Loss Amounts for each Eligible Investor and compared this amount to the approximate Net 

Fair Fund. Next, because the total Net Loss Amounts exceeded the approximate Net Fair Fund, 

the staff determined what percentage of the total Net Loss Amounts was represented by each 

Eligible Investor’s Net Loss Amount. The resulting percentage for each Eligible Investor is the 

investor’s pro rata share (“Pro Rata Share”). Finally, the approximate Net Fair Fund was

multiplied by each Eligible Investor’s Pro Rata Share to determine an estimated net distribution 

amount (“Estimated Net Distribution Amount”) for each Eligible Investor. 

If an Eligible Investor is removed (“Removed Eligible Investor”) from the distribution 

(for reasons described in paragraph 8 below), that Removed Eligible Investor’s Estimated Net 

Distribution Amount will be added to the Net Fair Fund (as defined in paragraph 1). A 

recalculation then takes place to determine what is each remaining Eligible Investor’s Estimated 

Net Distribution Amount. The recalculation involves multiplying the Net Fair Fund by each 

remaining Eligible Investor’s Pro Rata Share to determine an Estimated Net Distribution Amount 

for each remaining Eligible Investor.

In the view of the Fund Administrator, this methodology constitutes a fair and reasonable 

allocation of the Fair Fund to compensate an investor’s harm. Based on this methodology, it is 

anticipated that there will be one distribution to Eligible Investors, which will take place as 

outlined in paragraph 9 below. 

Based on this methodology, the individual Net Loss Amounts and percentages of pooled 

net loss for Eligible Investors are as follows:

Eligible Investor #1 $19,160 3.21% $11,106

8. Procedures for Locating and Notifying Eligible Investors. Based on information 

obtained by the Commission staff during its investigation and the review and analysis of 

applicable records, Commission staff has identified twelve (12) Eligible Investors. Within thirty 

(30) days of the Commission’s approval of the Plan, the Fund Administrator will send each 

Eligible Investor a notice by electronic mail, United States Postal Service, or other mail delivery 

service regarding the Commission’s approval of the Plan, including as appropriate, a statement 

characterizing the distribution, a link to the Plan on the Commission’s website and instructions 

for requesting a copy of the Plan, the number assigned that Eligible Investor on the chart in order 

to determine his or her Net Loss Amount (as defined in paragraph 7) and Estimated Net

Distribution Amount (as defined in paragraph 7), a description of the tax information reporting 

and other related tax matters, and the name of the Fund Administrator to contact with questions 

regarding the distribution (the “Plan Notice”). Eligible Investors will be asked to confirm the 

Estimated Net Distribution Amount or provide documentation if they disagree with the 

Estimated Net Distribution Amount (as defined in paragraph 7). The Fund Administrator will

coordinate with the Tax Administrator to request contact and other information from each 

Eligible Investor that is needed to accomplish the distribution in accordance with applicable tax 

requirements relating to the Fair Fund.

If a Plan Notice is returned as undeliverable within sixty (60) days of approval of the 

Plan, the Fund Administrator will make all reasonable efforts to ascertain an Eligible Investor’s 

correct address. The Fund Administrator will then resend the Plan Notice to the Eligible 

Investor’s new address within thirty (30) days of receipt of the returned Plan Notice. If the Plan 

Notice is returned again, the Eligible Investor will be removed (“Removed Eligible Investor”) 

from the distribution and that particular Removed Eligible Investor’s Estimated Net Distribution 

Amount (as defined in paragraph 7) will be added to the Net Fair Fund (as defined in paragraph 

7) and become part of the recalculation described above in paragraph 7.

If an Eligible Investor fails to respond within sixty (60) days from approval of the Plan, 

the Fund Administrator will then make no fewer than two (2) attempts to contact the Eligible 

Investor telephonically or by email. The second attempt will to the extent possible take place no 

more than seventy-five days (75) days from approval of the Plan. If an Eligible Investor fails to 

respond to the Fund Administrator’s contact attempts, such Eligible Investor will not receive a 

Eligible Investor #2 $9,560 1.60% $5,542

Eligible Investor #3 $47,640 7.98% $27,615

Eligible Investor #4 $25,640 4.30% $14,862

Eligible Investor #5 $26,680 4.47% $15,465

Eligible Investor #6 $190,520 31.93% $110,436

Eligible Investor #7 $5,680 0.95% $3,292

Eligible Investor #8 $19,040 3.19% $11,037

Eligible Investor #9 $14,280 2.39% $8,277

Eligible Investor #10 $14,280 2.39% $8,277

Eligible Investor #11 $190,360 31.90% $110,343

Eligible Investor #12 $33,912 5.68% $19,658

TOTAL NET LOSS $596,752

distribution (and becomes a Removed Eligible Investor) and the Estimated Net Distribution 

Amount (as defined in paragraph 7) that such Removed Eligible Investor would have received 

will be included in the Net Fair Fund (as defined in paragraph 1) available to those Eligible 

Investors who responded to the Fund Administrator and the staff will recalculate the Estimated 

Net Distribution Amount pursuant to paragraph 7. In no event, however, will an Eligible

Investor receive a distribution payment that exceeds the amount of his or her Net Loss Amount. 

Any funds from the Net Fair Fund (as defined in paragraph 1) that cannot be distributed 

for any reason will become part of the Residual Account described in paragraph 14 below and 

reported in the final accounting.

9. Distribution Timing. The Fund Administrator will use her best efforts to start the 

Commission disbursement approval process within one hundred and fifty (150) days of the 

Plan’s approval. 

10. Bureau of the Fiscal Service; Validation and Approval of Disbursement of the 

Fair Fund. The Fair Fund disbursement to Eligible Investors will be implemented by the 

Commission and disbursed through the U.S. Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service (“BFS”);

checks will be mailed or distribution payments will be electronically transferred to each Eligible

Investor as instructed by the Fund Administrator working with other Commission staff. The 

Fund Administrator will compile the information and prepare a payment file in a Commissionapproved format for submission to the Commission to make the disbursements through BFS. 

Pursuant to Rule 1101(b)(6), the Fund Administrator will obtain an order from the Commission 

to disburse the Fair Fund. 

The Fund Administrator will work with BFS to obtain information about uncashed 

checks, any returned items due to non-delivery, insufficient addresses, and/or other deficiencies. 

The Fund Administrator is responsible for researching and reconciling errors and reissuing 

payments when possible. The Fund Administrator also is responsible for accounting for all 

payments. Checks issued by BFS state on their face that they are valid for one year. If any 

checks issued are not cashed within the one year time period, the Fund Administrator will work 

with BFS to identify all uncashed checks.

11. Expenses of Administration. Fees and other expenses of administering the Plan 

will be paid from the Fair Fund. 

12. Amendments and Procedural Deadline Extensions. The Fund Administrator will 

take reasonable and appropriate steps to distribute funds from the Net Fair Fund according to the

Plan. If there are any changes to the Plan that are determined to be material, Commission 

approval is required prior to implementation by amending the Plan, which may be done upon the 

motion of any party, the Fund Administrator, or upon the Commission’s own motion. 

Immaterial changes may be made by the Fund Administrator. For good cause shown, the Fund 

Administrator may extend any of the procedural dates set forth in the Plan.

13. Procedures to Request Plan Notice. A person that does not receive a Plan Notice 

and believes that he or she should have received a Plan Notice after becoming aware of the Plan 
6

(e.g., through other Eligible Investors or on www.sec.gov) must submit documentation to the 

Fund Administrator to establish that the individual is in fact eligible to receive a Plan Notice 

within seventy-five (75) days after the Commission’s approval of the Plan The Fund 

Administrator will contact the individual within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the 

individual’s documentation with a determination of his or her eligibility if the Fund 

Administrator determines that the individual should have received a Plan Notice.

14. Disposition of Undistributed Funds. A residual account within the Fair Fund will 

be established for any amounts remaining after distribution of the Net Fair Fund to Eligible 

Investors has occurred (“Residual Account”). The Residual Account will include as applicable 

funds reserved for future taxes and related expenses, funds from checks that have not been 

cashed, that were not delivered or that were returned to the Commission, tax refunds for 

overpayment or for waiver of IRS penalties. All funds remaining in the Residual Account will 

be transferred to the U.S. Treasury after the final accounting (as described in paragraph 15 

below) is approved by the Commission.

15. Final Accounting and Discharge of the Fund Administrator. Following the 

distribution of the Net Fair Fund to Eligible Investors, the Fund Administrator will make 

arrangements for the final payment of taxes and Tax Administrator fees and will submit a final 

accounting to the Commission. When the Commission has approved the final accounting, staff 

will seek an order from the Commission: (1) to transfer the remaining funds in the Residual 

Account to the U.S. Treasury; and (2) to discharge the Fund Administrator. 

16. Notice of Proposed Plan and Opportunity for Comment. The Notice of the 

Proposed Plan of Distribution and Opportunity for Comment (“Notice”) will be published in the
