The Securities and Exchange Commission has filed civil charges against Barry Bekkedam, who is accusing of persuading people to invest up to $100 million in ex-law firm chairman Scott Rothstein’s Ponzi scheme.

The complaint filed Wednesday alleged Bekkedam, who headed Ballamor Capital Management LLC from 1999 to 2010, helped form Banyon Investments with George Levin and Frank Preve. Banyon was the largest feeder fund for Rothstein’s $1.2 billion settlement financing scheme.
