Enforcement & Settlements

12875

This is a non-profit non-partisan project intended to provide the public with an authoritative, professional collection of multi-media information helpful toward the objective of eliminating financial crime on Wall Street. All speakers and authors appearing on this website do so on a nonpartisan basis to expose what they believe to be  evidence of illegal behavior perpetrated by Wall Street. As such, their appearance is not political nor done in reference to either of the political parties that have disenfranchised 70% of the public while choosing to serve the 1%.

This page points to posted fines & enforcement actions.

Fines have become a cost of doing business and the government is actually incentivizing this high crime against pension funds and the public with its token fines, while maliciously covering up the much larger crimes that are allowed to persist.

We are talking about $35 trillion dollars a year in naked short selling fraud. So $100 trillion or more stolen just since the 2008 bailout, and we have tallied just a half billion in fines.  $466,989,788.00. Cost of doing crime is trivial!  And no one goes to jail.

Perpetrators must lose all of their ill-gotten gains and more. Jail must loom if they continue with these criminal action once we finally get  the SEC cleaned up (purged) and reconstituted.

Fixing this is not rocket science.  It simply demands integrity.  First stop: DTCC.

FINRA ACTIONS

SETTLEMENTS

This page will also show settlements. The average legal observer looking only for final court decisions is missing all of the cases where settlements have been achieved under state RICO laws.  Once federal  RICO is unleashed, and NSA data is made available to achieve settlements outside the normal legal process, we are looking at $50 trillion coming back to the US Treasury, hopefully with several trillion into a victim compensation fund.
