(NY).〔https://www.sec.gov/litigation/opinions/2011/34-63744.pdf SEC order dated January 20, 2011〕 The SEC was unable to properly serve Rapoport with due notice at his Moscow location, and in 2009, the SEC entered a default order judgment.〔https://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2009/34-60413.pdf〕 Once aware of the default judgement, Rapoport filed a motion under Exchange Rule 155 (b) to vacate the default judgement. In 2012, the DC District Court, presided over by Chief Judge Sentelle, unanimously granted Rapoport's petition to vacate the SEC's order, quoting SEC's failure to consistently apply its own rule.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=12 June 2012 )〕 Rapoport returned to the US in 2012. He left Russia in large part due to his support for Russian democratic opposition, especially Alexei Navalny, an outspoken campaigner against Russian corporate and government corruption and the most vocal critic of Putin and his regime.〔http://finparty.ru/section/interview/16943/ finparty.ru article in Russian〕 This support has lead the Russian authorities to believe that Rapoport poses a threat to the status quo.〔http://theins.ru/politika/3644/3 "The Kremlin Letters", The Insider article in Russian〕 In the 2012 US Pesidential elections, Dan Rapoport advised Mitt Romney for President Campaign on Russia related issues. Rapoport's views were best voiced by Romney during the October 22, 2012, TV debate with Barack Obama: "I’m not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia or Mr. Putin".〔http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/03/01/remember-obama-mocking-romney-over-russia-concerns-the-1980s-are-now-calling-to-ask-for-their-foreign-policy-back/ The Blaze, Fox News.〕〔http://www.forbes.ru/sobytiya/finansy/208494-stiven-dzhennings-prodal-renessans-kapital-mihailu-prohorovu-kuda-uhodyat-in Forbes article in Russian.〕 Rapoport resides in Washington, DC, where he manages Rapoport Capital LLP.
