CREW v. Securities and Exchange Commission
On September 27, 2011, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sued the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its Chairman, Mary L. Schapiro, for the SEC’s decades-long policy and practice of requiring Enforcement Division staff to destroy early-stage investigative files. The SEC’s unlawful policy has resulted in the destruction of thousands of files, including records concerning the fraudulent activities of Bernard (Bernie) Madoff, financial fraud at Bank of America, and an insider trading investigation of the now defunct Lehman Brothers.
