SEC Advises Brokers, Investors on Risks of Hacking and Other “Cyber” Attacks

By Gregory Tendrich, P.A. |

“Cybersecurity” is a major issue that affects many large, publicly traded companies. Recently Anthem, Inc., the nation’s second-largest health insurer, reported a major breach of its security.

FINRA Criticized for Being Lenient on Financial Brokers

By Gregory Tendrich, P.A. |

On May 29, 2014, one of five Commissioners of the Securities and Exchange Commission gave a speech to FINRA’s Division of Market Regulation.

Dark Pools Brought Further into the Light

In recent years, more and more securities have been traded away from the public eye, exposing markets to new kinds of possible securities fraud. As Bloomberg reported in 2012, only 68 percent of all trades occurred on public markets, like the NASDAQ or New York Stock Exchange. This number, down from 74 percent as… Read More »

Power of “Failure to Supervise” Affirmed by Federal Appeals Court

By Gregory Tendrich, P.A. |

When one person is wronged by another—in the securities context or otherwise—fault can sometimes be placed at the feet of more than just the person who actively committed the wrong.

The Frequency of Ponzi Schemes

By Gregory Tendrich, P.A. |
