SEC chair Gensler says agency will enforce rules ‘aggressively’ against bad actors
Bob Pisani, 20 May 2021
Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler said he would be aggressively pursuing bad financial actors who were “playing with working families’ savings.”
Gensler made his remarks at a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority conference with Robert Cook, president and CEO of FINRA. FINRA is the agency that regulates broker-dealers and exchanges.
As he did in his recent Congressional testimony, Gensler emphasized that enforcement would be a key part of protecting the public.
