More in Financial Crime
Reporting here tracks Ponzi scheme collapses, corporate accounting fraud investigations, money laundering prosecutions, insider trading cases and wire fraud convictions at the federal and state levels. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Phoenix are the financial centers where many of these prosecutions originate, and where the regulatory agencies and U.S. attorney offices that bring the cases are concentrated. Federal securities and wire fraud charges generate multi-year proceedings that produce recurring coverage as cases move from investigation to indictment to trial. Regulatory enforcement actions — from the SEC, CFTC and FinCEN — often run alongside criminal prosecutions and extend the total story arc considerably.
