An insider’s look at the SEC and the changes needed to strengthen the U.S. financial system In 2008, Americans were reeling from the devastating financial crisis that caused the Great Recession. There were searing questions about how the crisis was allowed to happen and calls for immediate reform from Capital Hill, the news media, and the general public. Multiple scandals sent real fear through the investing community and brought unprecedented heat on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There was little doubt that the SEC had to fix rules that permitted bad behavior, shake off decades of complacency and enforce existing laws. Wall Street lawyer Norm Champ spent nearly 20 years dealing with the SEC on behalf of his clients and as an industry representative working to educate the agency about hedge funds. Believing he could help reform the deeply-flawed agency, Champ left his career in the private sector and joined the SEC. As Director of the Division of Investment Management, he became a key player in stabilizing trillions of dollars of investor capital while reenergizing the SEC’s culture and management. In Going Public, Champ presents a rare, insider’s look at how the SEC operates and explains exactly how the agency impacts the overall economic health of the country. He examines the inner workings of hedge funds, economic policy and politics, investing, and inefficient and frustrating federal agencies. Engrossing and important, this book offers critical recommendations for policy changes that will create healthy, free-functioning markets and help Americans better prepare for the inevitable next crisis.
This experiential book focuses on the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) enforcement action charging Mr. Mark Cuban with illegal insider trading. Mr. Cuban is a well-respected entrepreneur, businessman and investor whose ownership interests include the National Basketball Association s (NBA) Dallas Mavericks. Mr. Cuban also is one of the principal investors on the reality television program Shark Tank. His net worth is valued in the billions of dollars. The author (Marc I. Steinberg) was retained as an expert witness in this case on Mr. Cuban's behalf. Professor Steinberg therefore had the opportunity to experience this litigation from the playing field rather than as a spectator. These insights enhance the book's substance and vitality. In captivating fashion, the book presents key documents, testimony, and insights from the start of the SEC's investigation of Mr. Cuban's trading of Mamma.com stock through the end of trial with the jury exonerating him. This saga lasting five years was at a high cost for the government and Mr. Cuban. In his successful defense, Mr. Cuban reportedly spent $12 million in legal fees in defeating the government's charge that he was a fraudster. For the SEC, after years of vigorous pursuit with less than a formidable case, it incurred a significant defeat. In the end, when Mr. Cuban emerged victorious and the government packed its bags, questions are raised as to strategic decisions made, the high costs of defending one's good name, the limits of government prosecutorial discretion, and the breadth of our insider trading laws. This book focuses on this intriguing litigation, drawing the reader's attention as the story unfolds.
