Gary A. Tanaka (born June 23, 1943, in Hunt, Idaho) is a Japanese-American businessman, sportsman and philanthropist who co-founded the investment company Amerindo Investment Advisors in 1979 along with Alberto Vilar.
Tanaka was born during World War II in the Minidoka concentration camp in Idaho. He graduated from MIT, then earned a PhD degree at Imperial College London in the United Kingdom with a dissertation on the mathematics of the transition from laminar to turbulent flow in a fluid flowing over a solid surface. He lives in London with his wife and two children in a house which was once Dwight D. Eisenhower's wartime headquarters. Tanaka has two adult sons, Mark Tanaka, who is also a fund manager, most recently of Sanno Point Capital Management and Michael Tanaka, a notable businessman based in the UK.
Tanaka was perhaps best known for his donation of £27m to Imperial College, which resulted in construction of the Tanaka Building in 2004, designed by the international architecture, planning and design studio Foster and Partners. The building houses Imperial College Business School, and combines the business school's facilities with a new front entrance for the College.

In August 2008, the Business School at Imperial College London was renamed from "Tanaka Business School" to "Imperial College Business School" because the old name did not strongly emphasise its association with the College. The school's accommodation was subsequently named "the Tanaka Building".^[1] An alternative speculation is that the college changed the name of the school to distance itself from Tanaka's fraudulent activities.^[2]
Fraud trial
Tanaka was tried in 2008 in New York for a $20m fraud against customers of the Amerindo investment company he ran with Alberto Vilar. In November 2008 he was found guilty of conspiracy, securities fraud and investment adviser fraud, [1]^[3] and he was sentenced to five years in jail in early 2010.^[4] The case is still under appeal.

Dr. Tanaka owns a significant thoroughbred racing stable. His horses have won major races in Europe, North America plus prestigious Asian events, notably the Hong Kong Mile and the Singapore Airlines International Cup. The success of his stable has come in large part from his ability to spot good quality thoroughbreds racing in other countries and bring them to the US where they can run for larger purses, thus raising their resale and stud value. Many races elsewhere are held on grass tracks, while US races are usually run on dirt. Not every horse can make the transition, but Dr. Tanaka and his trainers have been successful in many significant cases. Much more information about Tanaka's stable is available in the cover article of the March 29, 2008 issue of The Bloodhorse.

Amerindo Investment Advisors Inc. was an Investment services firm, best known for making large profits during the Dot-com boom of the 1990s and 2000s.
The origins of the company date to the early 1980s, when Vilar and Tanaka founded two companies named "Amerindo" in England and Panama.^[1] The American branch, called "Amerindo Investment Advisors Inc." was founded in 1985.^[1]
The East Coast office was located in the 399 Park Avenue in New York City, the West Coast office, and "principal place of business" was located at One Embarcadero Center in San Francisco, and the international office was in London.^[2][3]
Vilar made an early and very successful investment in Yahoo!, which once totaled 40% of the fund's investment portfolio.^[4] Vilar's financial strategy included investing in purchasing shares of companies shortly after their initial public offering.^[4]
The company's "flagship" financial product, the "Amerindo Technology Fund," was known for investing in startup high tech and Dot-com companies.^[5] Following many years of strong growth during the internet boom the fund came to a crash.^[5]
Vilar gained a lot of press for declaring the internet to be "bigger than the Industrial Revolution."^[5]

Fraudulent activities

Amerindo had advertised that its "Guaranteed Fixed Rate Deposit Account" (GFRDA) would be invested in "high quality, short-term deposits" that would produce a "fixed-rate of interest for a fixed-term."^[6] Instead, these funds were invested in risky dot com ventures, and the fund lost large sums after the 2000 dot-com bust, which meant that Amerindo couldn't repay the investors, costing investors millions of dollars.^[6]
Separately, Amerindo investor Lily Cates, mother of actress Phoebe Cates, invested $5 million in the "Amerindo Small Business Investment Company" venture, but most of her investment was rerouted to pay for Amerindo's business expenses, donated to various charities to which Vilar had made pledges that he couldn't afford, and to pay a settlement from a former client who was suing Amerindo about the GFRDA account.^[6] In September 2003, Vilar ordered an employee to copy Cates' signature onto a document that purported to authorize a $250,000 transfer, with most of that money going into Vilar's personal account.^[6] In 2005, Cates filed a complaint with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding Vilar and Amerindo.^[6] During the investigation, Vilar lied to the SEC, claiming that Cates wasn't a client and that he did not own the Panamanian subsidiary.^[6]

In 2005, Vilar and Tanaka were convicted for organizing a series of transactions that defrauded their clients.^[6] After the nine-week trial, Vilar was convicted of two counts of securities fraud; two counts of wire fraud; four counts of money laundering; investment adviser fraud; mail fraud; making false statements; and participating in a conspiracy to commit securities fraud, investment adviser fraud; wire fraud, mail fraud; and money laundering and Tanaka was convicted of three of the twelve counts with which he was charged: securities fraud; investment adviser fraud; and conspiring to commit securities fraud; investment adviser fraud; wire fraud; mail fraud; and money laundering.^[6]
