Sadly, many Americans lose their life savings due to criminal actions by stock brokers, corporate executives, brokerage firms, financial analysts, and corporations. If you have been victimized by securities fraud of any kind, take legal action now to recover your financial losses and even be awarded additional damages. After the 1929 stock market crash and consequent Great Depression, Congress passed two important pieces of legislation to regulate the securities industry: the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These laws created the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which is responsible for protecting investors, regulating the securities market, and enforcing and establishing rules to govern financial activity. Securities laws ensure that companies offering securities for investment are truthful about their businesses, thereby preventing any misrepresentation of risk. In addition, securities laws also ensure that those who sell and trade securities adhere to fair practices by preventing any unauthorized trading and the like. Despite these laws, stock fraud still very much exists in the U.S., evidenced by the huge corporate scandals in the early 2000s and recent financial crisis. The rise in corporate fraud is alarming because the schemes have become increasingly difficult to unravel. The SEC regulates both Wall Street and private banking, which are vast, high-tech global operations, making oversight extremely complex. When fraud schemes are revealed, the SEC investigates and typically ends the case with a large fine. If a class of shareholders or individual investors chooses to pursue the matter further, they can hire private law firms to argue their case.
