Regardless of the nature of the SEC investigation, if you or your company are being targeted by the SEC, you need to defend yourself<\/strong>. The penalties for violating the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Dodd-Frank Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and other statutes falling within the SEC’s enforcement jurisdiction can be substantial, and criminal prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) can lead to long-term imprisonment. The SEC routinely issues litigation releases<\/a> announcing civil charges, securities litigation<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> and sentences against company executives, investment advisors, scam artists, and other individuals, and DOJ press releases regularly tout criminal enforcement efforts in the securities field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
