Lawsuits
CREW v. Securities and Exchange Commission
On October 13, 2011, CREW sued the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for failing to provide records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reflecting the extent to which the SEC has lived up to its promise to reform its Enforcement Division. Over the past several years CREW has used the FOIA to monitor the SEC’s progress in implementing reforms that will better enable the agency to catch massive fraud schemes, such as those perpetuated by Bernard Madoff and Allen Stanford. The SEC’s response to a previous FOIA request from CREW revealed some progress, but also that much work remained.
