1. 1
Wrongful Prosecution Process by SEC and DOJ in So-Called Cherry-Picking Allegations
& Indictment of Charles J. Dushek.
[By Awais Bajwa, Attorney at Law]
The foremost object of this research article is to narrate the story of Mr. Charles J. Dushek with
respect to the legal battle fought by him against the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), wherein, he had been made victim of
wrongful prosecution through cherry picking allegations that resulted into unjust indictment
charges.
At the outset, I would like to mention that I was invited by Mr. Dushek to do some public research
on his legal cases from 2012 onwards and to publish in the public domain any legal opinions,
disclosures, and public presentation of public-domain information of any kind whatsoever that
may or could be considered as exculpatory (defensive) facts and evidence that Charles J. Dushek
may have no guilt whatsoever regarding the allegations put against him by the SEC in 2012
onwards, and thereafter by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2016 in the form of a criminal
indictment for noted wrong-doings alleged below.
This legal brief is in aid of the defensive arguments and facts supporting past and current legal
matters of Mr. Dushek, and for “Social Justice Advocacy” for his legal cases to help the General
Public understand that US Government Agencies, State Agencies, and Departments of Regulation
that do monitoring and enforcement of financial services industries, businesses, and persons
thereof are all/each subject to the human errors and omission proclivities within the U.S. judicial
prosecutorial processes or system.
In the landmark judgement of Brady v. Maryland1
the court held that the suppression by the
prosecution of evidence favorable to an accused upon request violates due process where the
evidence is material either to guilt or innocence, irrespective of the good faith or bad faith of the
prosecution. The case involving Mr. Dushek also involves blatant violations of the rules enshrined
in Brady’s case.

373 U.S. 83 (1963).

2. 2
1. Historical Background of the Matter
In 2012, a financial professional by the name of Charles J. Dushek of Illinois was put through a
legal prosecution (persecution) process by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for
alleged wrongful-doings by himself as President of Capital Management Associates, an Illinois
Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firm that he established in 2001.
Mr. Dushek was indicted by the federal grand jury in Chicago on securities fraud charges for
allegedly allocating profitable trades to his personal accounts while assigning unprofitable trades
to his client accounts. According to the indictment, Mr. Dushek, the president of Lisle, Illinois-
based Capital Management Associates Inc. ("CMA") allegedly made purchases of publicly traded
securities without designating in advance whether he was trading personal funds or client funds.
He then allegedly waited up to five days to allocate the trades so that he could select the profitable
trades for his personal accounts and assign the losing ones to the accounts of unsuspecting clients.
From July 2008 to August 2012, Dushek allegedly withdrew from his personal accounts more than
$1 million in gains realized from the scheme.
2. Professional Reputation and Character of Mr. Charles J Dushek
I understand from the available records that Mr. Dushek has been a thorough professional with
esteemed reputation as person and an expert. He has remained a shareholder and president of CMA
and was registered as an investment adviser representative with the Illinois Securities Department
(IL-DoS).
According to Mr. Dushek, CMA as an RIA has never been found in non-compliance as per FINRA
records that go back to 2001 nor any complaint had ever been filed against CMA or its President
Mr. Dushek. Both Mr. Dushek and CMA have maintained a perfect compliance regulatory history
with IL-DOS. This discovery prompted me to look back even further in Mr. Dushek’s professional
history within the financial services industry dating back to 1973. From the available records as
presented to me, there were no records nor notes of any non-compliant activities, complaints or
judgements of any kind in reference to financial crimes or non-compliance with any regulations.

3. 3
It was rather fascinating that Mr. Dushek has authored the following publications of educational
articles for annual “Commodity Research Bureau”.
 Trading the Foreign Currency Futures Markets - by Charles J. Dushek and Carol J.
Harding
 Understanding the U.S. Treasury Bill Futures Market - by Charles J. Dushek and William
M. Bradt
 Understanding the GNMA Futures Market - by Charles J. Dushek
3. No History of Non-compliance
At the time when cases were initiated against Mr. Dushek, the Illinois State Regulator IL-DOS
was tasked with doing annual reviews of all Illinois RIA firms, ADV Disclosure reviews under its
Illinois jurisdiction, and to assure that each RIA firm and officers were compliant with IL-DOS
Regulations for RIAs.
It is pertinent to note that it is the discretion of IL-DOS to conduct any RIA surprise audits or to
do “for cause” any investigations of RIA firms. If there are any Findings by Regulators of non-
compliant activities by RIA firms and/or other financial industry entities, these Findings are to be
enforced upon by IL-DOS and reported to FINRA for viewing by all interested persons in the
public domain.
However, as per Mr. Dushek, there are no Non-Compliance reports or records from IL-DOS about
CMA nor Mr. Dushek as having engaged in any wrongful doings regarding any client account
trading allocations process. Nor, are there any IL-DOS Regulations within the IL-DOS
Regulations that speak to practices of allocations within their Code.
This preview of outstanding good conduct and credibility by Mr. Dushek encouraged me that there
seemed to be somethings very wrongful in the prosecutorial endeavors by the SEC and DOJ for
alleging wrongful doings by Mr. Dushek while President of CMA. It became even more puzzling
that his designated Regulator, IL DOS, had no findings of wrong-doings nor non-compliance,
when IL DOS did several onsite audits of CMA and interviewed each employee of CMA to detect
any non-compliance by either CMA employees, Dushek of CMA and of CMA itself as a RIA since
2001.
4. First Amendment Right of Free Speech
While exercising his First Amendment right of Free Speech, Mr. Dushek wanted to make his
version known to the public, through me, as he believes that he has been victimized by the US

4. 4
Government Agencies SEC, DOJ and FBI (FBI as interviewers and investigators hired by SEC
and DOJ).
5. Allegation of Cherry-Picking appears Unfounded against Dushek in the Prosecution’s
Cases
In conversation with Mr. Dushek, there appeared no definitive inculpatory (wrongful-doing)
evidence that had any validation of any wrongful-doings by him as President of CMA. I was
provided with the Contractual Agreements between Mr. Dushek and his firm’s clients and the
Agreements between Mr. Dushek and the Custody and Service firm GreatBanc Trust Company
(GBTC) of Illinois that provided services to CMA clients.
The allegation of Cherry Picking as levelled against Mr. Dushek seemed to be unfounded.
According to Investopedia, Cherry picking refers to the act of choosing top securities for
investment from research that generally overlooks large amounts of data or disregards broad
market metrics.2
The prosecutors failed to present evidence in support of their allegations that Mr. Dushek engaged
in any Cherry Picking scheme. There is a further undocumented and sketchy definition of Cherry-
Picking by the SEC that seems to have a high variation of determination in arbitrary prosecutorial
conduct by enforcement attorneys, and there further appears that when the SEC purportedly finds
allegations of Cherry-Picking (as per an SEC non-published in any SEC Code definition) as an
offense they can act on it punitively.
In such cases, the SEC levies arbitrary high fines, mostly over a million dollars, that is paid only
to the SEC and typically (or never) none of the fine dollars are ever received by any clients that
were alleged to have been financially damaged by a Cherry-Picking process or scheme. This fining
process seems to promote an inducement by SEC prosecutors, whose job is to prosecute, to work
on cases that have the potential to generate revenue for their employers.
6. Description of Dushek’s Personal Trading as Approved by GreatBanc Trust Company
Regarding the so-called Cherry-Picking and late alleged trade allocations done by Mr. Dushek for
years, he explained that he has been doing short-term multi-day buys and sells of stocks and day-
trading buys and sells of stocks for himself into his personal accounts completely separate from
long-term stock investments for CMA clients, where he was Investment Advisor for certain client
accounts.
7. Client Agreement Prohibits Short-Term Trading in Client Accounts
Mr. Dushek further noted that every CMA client had executed a “CMA Investment Advisory
Agreement” that explicitly prohibited doing any short-term trading or day-trading in any client
accounts whatsoever pursuant to Article I “Appointment of Investment Manager”, and further
2
Cherry Picking https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cherrypicking.asp#ixzz5IRFk4qiU

5. 5
expressed in Article 7 “Other Investment Activities”. These provisions are clearly stated in all the
blank-copy IA Agreements exhibits available in Public Domain.
Paragraph 1…Investment Manager is to do only long term investments into Client
accounts.
Paragraph 2…Investment Manager is to do only securities transactions that are in
accordance with the Client’s Investment Objective.
Paragraph 3…Custodian (GBTC) provides securities execution services. In no event will
the Custodian be obligated to execute any transaction which it believes to be in violation
of any State or Federal law or regulation or in violation of the custodian’s regulator.
Paragraph 7…CMA employees may buy, sell or trade in any securities for their respective
accounts. Such transactions may differ from the timing or nature of action taken with
respect to Client’s account…
Paragraph 8…Investment manager is to act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence
under the circumstances then prevailing (GBTC did not provide CMA and Mr. Dushek with
any systematic process to do client account transaction allocations at the time of
transaction execution) that a prudent man acting in like capacity and familiar with such
matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims.
(Mr. Dushek used his best efforts to comply with any regulations expressed or implied in
doing client account allocations within the processes, as inadequately provided by GBTC,
to always act in a prudent and credible manner.
Paragraph 11 c …Investment Adviser is properly registered and in compliance with the
state laws under which the RIA is under IL-DOS jurisdiction and IL-DOS Regulations.
Paragraph 16…Both parties agree that the representations within the Agreement do not
violate any obligation of either party.
Paragraph 17…The validity of this Agreement and of any of its provisions, as well as rights
and duties of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.
8. Explanation of Client and Personal Trading Via GBTC Brokerage Accounts
It was further revealed by Mr. Dushek as to how he did his personal short-term and day-trading,
as he confirmed that he utilized brokerage industry common stock trade accounts setup by the
custodian of all CMA’s client accounts and Dushek’s personal accounts, who is GreatBanc Trust
Company, an Illinois Trust Company. And, that the brokerage accounts were actually in the name
of GreatBanc Trust Company as Principal of these accounts, whereby GreatBanc Trust Company
did all fulfillment of making and taking stock deliveries and handling cash settlement payments
between counter-parties of all trades.

6. 6
According to Mr. Dushek, GreatBanc Trust Company gave a fully unconditional authorization to
Mr. Dushek and other CMA employees, such as Greg Nickum of CMA, to utilize these brokerage
accounts without having in-place any user procedures set up by GreatBanc Trust Company
management. GreatBanc Trust Company failed and did not require to have Dushek or other
authorized users/traders to input trade allocations data into the trading account platform at the time
of trade executions, so that each trade could be allocated as: 1. a Long-Term Trade for Clients, or
2. as a Short-Term or Day-Trade for CMA employee account(s).
Further, GreatBanc Trust Company failed to establish separate stock trade brokerage accounts for
CMA to utilize as: “One brokerage account for only Personal Employee Trades, and another
brokerage account for only CMA Client Accounts trades, to thus allow CMA to follow the so-
called “Best Practices” rule of trade allocations within the money management industry, which
means in general that for all securities transactions done by an RIA for clients, that the client
accounts to receive the trades are to be noted (allocated) at the moment that any securities trade is
entered and executed. But, there is no explicit Rule nor Regulation within the IL-DOS RIA
Regulations that codifies this activity.
Therefore, if there is no Regulation nor Code to reference to, then the financial services industry
can only adopt a so-called Best Practice process if the RIA firm doing the trades is provided with
the Means or System or Platform to utilize a Best Practice, such as noted previously, but neither
CMA nor Mr. Dushek was given any access to follow any Best Practice of simultaneously entering
account allocations information at the same time as trades were executed. GreatBanc Trust
Company is regulated by the Illinois Department of Professional & Financial Regulation.
9. No Jurisdiction of SEC
The Prosecutors also failed to appreciate that the SEC did not have the jurisdiction to take
cognizance of the matter. Rule 203A-2(c)3
allows a new firm to directly register with the SEC on
day-one instead of initially registering with the relevant state(s) before shortly thereafter having to
transition to SEC registration once it reaches $100 million in regulatory assets. RIA Code that
states that only RIAs that have in excess of $100 million in client assets under management are to
be Registered with the SEC, whereas all RIA firms of Illinois that hold less than $100 million in
client assets are only Registered and under the single jurisdiction of IL-DOS. CMA had only $60
million in client assets under its management, therefore the SEC had no jurisdiction over the
compliance of CMA nor Mr. Dushek as an RIA firm.

7. 7
10. No Requirement of recording details of transaction
This provision of the IL-DOS for RIAs doing Transactions states the compliance for doing client
account transactions. This Regulation makes no statement that the RIA must note or record the
name of each client account at the moment that any securities transaction is done by the RIA, Mr.
Dushek for any client account
Section 130.853 Account Transactions
Effecting or causing to be effected by or for any client's account, any transactions of
purchase or sale which are excessive in size or frequency or unsuitable in view of the
financial resources and character of the account, shall constitute an act, practice, or
course of business on the part of the registered investment adviser or its representative
effecting such transactions or causing the transactions to be effected that is fraudulent,
deceptive or manipulative.4
It was further revealed by Mr. Dushek that GreatBanc Trust Company had full access to view any
and all trades being placed to these brokerage accounts by simply logging into the brokerage
account admin platform with their USER ID and Password to observe and supervise any/all trades
on a real-time basis every day. Dushek further explained that the general usage operations of these
brokerage accounts were known about by IL DOS regulators and CMA employees. GreatBanc
Trust Company officers and employees also knew about the usage operations, and that GreatBanc
Trust Company never created nor installed any electronic or digital interface between the
brokerage account trade executions information to be immediately propagated or recorded into the
account allocations system for GreatBanc Trust Company for Client Accounts
accounting/bookkeeping.
11. Negligent Actions & Inactions & Agreement Violations of GreatBanc Trust Company
This “Lack of Processes” by GreatBanc Trust Company looks to have been a knowingly negligent
or inappropriate trading process set up by GreatBanc Trust Company to not have linked client
account(s) allocations information and trade execution information flows into its proprietary
accounting and allocation bookkeeping processes.
Mr. Dushek further described that the “GreatBanc Custody Agreements” (a public document that
was always given out by CMA to Clients to examine as they desired), that each and every CMA
Client executed the Agreement along with GreatBanc Trust Company as “Agent” and each client
4

REGULATIONS UNDER ILLINOIS SECURITIES LAW OF 1953 : SECTION 130.853 ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS

8. 8
as “Principal”, are the only two parties as signors of these Agreements. The Agreements explicitly
designated only the Agent, GreatBanc Trust Company to execute Buy and Sell securities
transactions on behalf of Principals (CMA Clients) pursuant to Article III, POWERS AND
DUTIES of AGENT, para 1) General Power, or upon the instructions of an Investment Manager
duly appointed by Principal. This leaves GBTC in a non-compliant condition by directing CMA
and Mr. Dushek to directly execute transactions for Principal’s accounts in the usage of an inferior
and non-compliant securities trading accounts and information gathering platform, both operated
by GBTC.
Further under Article III Paragraph 5 Records…Agent failed to maintain accurate records and
accounts of all transactions of the Account (Principal’s Accounts). Agent ran an inferior
transaction execution information and an inferior account allocations bookkeeping system.
Further under Article VI Paragraph 2 Degree of Care….GBTC violated Custodial services of care,
skill, prudence and diligence as to how a prudent person should act in not utilizing a credible
securities trading execution and client account(s) trade allocation bookkeeping system.
Further under Article VI Paragraph 12 Successors and Assigns…GBTC assigned all the Provisions
of this Agreement to SEI Trust Company, which included all trade execution processes that were
inferior to Best Practices of a compliant Trust Company, thereby making SEI Trust Company a
culpable partner of GBTC in all wrong doings and violations of Agent within the Agreement.
12. CMA and Dushek are Faultless & Guilt-Free of Wrong-Doings
In light of the above, neither Dushek nor CMA had any legal operations power nor authority within
the Agreements to be doing any Trade Allocations into Personal Accounts nor CMA Client
Accounts, and the entirely of the allocation processes and trade settlements was the legal and
contractual burden/responsibility/obligation of only GreatBanc Trust Company (and Assignee SEI
Trust Company), not a responsibility of either Dushek nor anyone else, employee or otherwise of
CMA, who all were “Clients” of GreatBanc Trust Company (and Assignee SEI Trust Company),
and NOT Employees nor Agents of GreatBanc Trust Company (and Assignee SEI Trust
Company).
Within all known regulatory frameworks of law, the Client is always to remain powerless and
disabled from making or doing any “accounting transactions” into his/her accounts at any bank,
trust company, brokerage or other institution. Therefore, the allegation of Cherry-Picking and
delayed allocations do not appear to be substantiated.
13. GreatBanc Trust Company Operates a Flawed Accounting and Trade Allocations
System
On the other hand, the alleged wrongful doings appear to be upon GreatBanc Trust Company (and
Assignee SEI Trust Company), as being willfully negligent in providing a “Best Practices” trade
executions system under the control of GreatBanc Trust Company (Pursuant to Article III Para 1
of the “GBTC Custodial Agreement”) and a process so as to have enabled CMA employees and
Dushek “to have only compiled personal and client account trade allocations information for
GreatBanc Trust Company (and Assignee SEI Trust Company)” to do accounts transaction

9. 9
bookkeeping postings as a systematic data input condition of brokerage trade entries and
executions. Further, all the brokerage account trades allocations information should have
followed through in an integrity system sponsored exclusively by the Custodian into the
Custodian’s bookkeeping process as required by GBTC’s regulator.
GreatBanc Trust Company, was contractually operating its business in a Fiduciary Capacity to be
doing all things in the best interests of its Clients, per the GreatBanc Trust Company Custodial
Agreement terms. All of the following were Principals of the Agreements: CMA Clients accounts,
Charles J. Dushek accounts, and CMA entity accounts. CMA was also a Customer/Client and
never an Agent of or to GreatBanc Trust Company.
GreatBanc Trust Company of Illinois is regulated by Illinois Department of Financial &
Professional Regulation. There is no Regulation that allows a Trust Company custodian to direct
or delegate the bookkeeping functions to any non-employee of the Trust Company nor to any
unaffiliated firm or organization of the Trust Company. Whereas, GBTC delegated and directed
CMA, its employees and Mr. Dushek to make not only direct client account transactions into client
accounts, but also directed and facilitated a non-compliant trade allocations system known as
MOXY Advent for CMA to utilize that gave over “direct entry securities trading and client account
transaction bookkeeping functions to CMA. Whereas GBTC was in violation of Illinois
Department of Financial & Professional Regulations: TRUSTS AND FIDUCIARIES
(760 ILCS 5/) Trusts and Trustees Act. And FINANCIAL REGULATION
(205 ILCS 620/) Corporate Fiduciary Act.
14. Violations of Rationale of Brady’s Case
It appears as if the Prosecutors of SEC failed to disclose the Brady evidence in the Dushek’s case.
Since a prosecutor's Brady duty is a continuing one5
, a prosecutor is obligated-throughout the pre-
trial and trial proceedings-to disclose Brady evidence when he learns about it, and is required to
make a diligent search for Brady (defensive) evidence in places where Brady evidence is readily
available.
When a defendant pleads guilty or the case goes to trial, there is a presumption that a prosecutor
has complied with his disclosure obligations.6
However, it is commonly believed that most Brady
evidence never gets disclosed; rather, it remains buried in drawers, boxes, and file cabinets in the
5
The Supreme Court's treatment of Brady has routinely viewed the prosecutor's duty as a continuing one. See, e.g.,
Mooney v. Holohan, 294 U.S. 103, 112 (1935) (due process violated where prosecutor learned during trial that
committed perjury but failed to inform defendant). See also Advisory Committee Report, supra note 14, at 13, 26
(noting federal and state courts that explicitly make the prosecutor's disclosure obligation "a continuing one.").
Moreover, the prosecutor's duty under Brady does not end with the verdict but continues. See Canion v. Cole, 91
P.3d 355, 360 (Ariz. Ct App. 2004) ("The defendant's right to due process with regard to the disclosure of exculpatory
evidence does not cease to exist after the verdict is rendered; the prosecution has a continuing duty to provide such
evidence as was unlawfully withheld.
6
See Bracy v. Gramley, 520 U.S. 899,909 (1997) (quoting United States v. Chemical Foundation, Inc., 272 U.S. 1, 14-
15 (1926)) ("Ordinarily, we presume that public officials have properly discharged their official duties.").

10. 10
offices of the prosecutor, the police, and other law enforcement and government agencies
connected to the case.7
Courts continue to recite the litany that prosecutors who may lack knowledge of the existence of
Brady evidence have a constitutional and ethical duty to learn about its existence, but prosecutors
continue to invoke their own familiar litany when a defendant requests Brady evidence. However,
prosecutors are aware that if they lack knowledge of the existence of Brady evidence, there is
nothing for them to suppress-or disclose. Thus, prosecutors can avoid complying with Brady by
asserting either that they are unaware of the existence of Brady evidence, or that any Brady
evidence, even if it exists, is not in their possession or control. Clearly, a claim of ignorance offers
a prosecutor a convenient opportunity to engage in gamesmanship to avoid compliance with
Brady.
Further, that prosecutors can directly conduct defamation of character with impunity in the Public
Domain to a person’s reputation and further to legally prosecute any individual with the use of:
false, fake, spurious, incomplete, schemed, un-verified, prejudicial, unconfirmed, and perjured
testimony evidence to create & bring forward allegations of wrongful doing and Grand Jury
Indictments by the prosecutorial systems in the US Judicial System.
Prosecutors have violated its principles so often that it stands more as a landmark to prosecutorial
indifference and abuse than a hallmark of justice. Moreover, as interpreted by the judiciary, Brady
7
See United States v. Alvarez, 86 F.3d 901, 905 (9th Cir. 1996) (''the government's failure to turn over exculpatory
information in its possession is unlikely to be discovered and thus largely unreviewable"); United States v. Oxman,
740 F.2d 1298, 1310 (3d Cir. 1984) ("material favorable to the defense may never emerge from secret government
files"). See a/so Elizabeth Napier Dewar, A Fair Trial Remedy for Brady Violations, 115 YALE L.J. 1450, 1455 (2006)
("Defendants only rarely unearth suppressions."); Stephen A. Saltzburg, Perjury and False Testimony: Should the
Difference Matter So Much?, 68 FORDHAM L. REv. 1537, 1579 (2000) (arguing that in most cases, "withheld evidence
will never see the light of day"); Tracy L. Meares, Rewards for Good Behavior: Influencing Prosecutorial Discretion
and Conduct With Financial Incentives, 64 FORDHAM L. REv. 851, 909 (1995) ("it is probably fair to say that many
instances of Brady-type misconduct are never discovered and hence never reported").

11. 11
actually invites prosecutors to bend, if not break, the rules,8
and many prosecutors have become
adept at Brady gamesmanship to avoid compliance.9
15. Conclusion
In summary this is the first Legal Brief, in my “Legal Brief Articles” for the purposes of “Social
Justice Advocacy” for a legal case involving Charles J. Dushek to help the public understand that
the system of administration of justice is subject to human errors, vile manipulations, and omission
proclivities within self-greed and in prosecutorial processes. And, that a reputable and honorable
man such as Charles J Dushek has apparently been unfoundedly persecuted and prosecuted on the
basis of very questionable prosecutorial tactics that in many instances violate his fundamental
rights, Brady vs. Maryland and Due Process.
