Captial Briefs: 3 Ex-Sequor Officials Pay Civil Fines to Fed

The Federal Reserve Board issued civil money penalties this week against three former employees of Sequor Group Inc., a former nonbank subsidiary of Security Pacific Corp., a bank holding company bought by BankAmerica Corp. in April 1992.

Howard S. Miller, a former Sequor Group senior vice president, paid $40,000 in fines to settle the Fed's charges. The central bank said he breached his fiduciary duty by misreporting the New York-based securities- lending business's transactions and unauthorized use and investment of customers' assets.

Barry S. Winter and Keith E. Leonard, former vice presidents at Sequor Group, paid fines of $5,000 and $2,000, respectively, to settle the same charges.
