SEC Enforcement of SEC Violations and Securities Fraud Is On The Rise As Regional SEC Offices, the Department of Justice, and Some States Increase Efforts to Crack Down on Financial Fraud: SEC Fraud Lawyer Represents SEC Bounty Action Whistleblowers Including Evaluating SEC Bounty Actions and Protecting SEC Bounty Action Whistleblowers by Texas SEC Violation Lawyer and Texas SEC Fraud Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

The SEC appears to be changing from a financial industry insider bureaucracy that actually regulates the financial services industry.  The SEC and other government agencies are seeking out large corporations that are violating securities laws and going after criminals that have violated SEC regulations.  Several large cases are currently being investigated by the SEC, State Attorney Generals, and the Department of Justice.  Additionally, the SEC is offering large financial rewards to SEC fraud whistleblowers that are the first to properly expose securities fraud, investment fraud, SEC violations, and other forms of financial fraud.  Many SEC whistle blower cases are now being actively investigated and many more are being filed as whistle blowers discover that they can reap large rewards and be protected while having their case evaluated. 

Blamed over Stanford, SEC's Texas office plots comeback


"But in the past year the office has undergone a sort of corporate turnaround, with new leadership, a more inventive approach to policing market players, and a patched-up relationship with the SEC's headquarters in Washington."

"The Fort Worth office has also been entrusted with two of the agency's biggest investigations that former insiders say are the type of probes often run out of the SEC in New York or Washington.
The office is taking the lead on investigations into allegations of misconduct at Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Chesapeake Energy Corp, according to public filings and people familiar with the matter.
The probes are heating up, with lawyers from the SEC Fort Worth office making document demands for the past several weeks on Chesapeake and its chief executive as part of an inquiry into special financial perks, one person familiar with the investigation said."

"Overseeing the Fort Worth office revival is David Woodcock, a defense attorney from Austin who had never previously worked for the SEC or any other government agency."

New York and Connecticut probing banks over Libor manipulation


"New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has launched a probe into possible manipulation of the Libor benchmark international lending rates by global banks, his spokesman said on Sunday.
Schneiderman, along with Connecticut's Attorney General George Jepsen started the investigation six months ago into the possible rigging of Libor, the London interbank offered rate, New York Attorney General spokesman James Freedland told Reuters."

"The U.S. Justice Department is also building criminal cases against several financial institutions and their employees related to the manipulation of interest rates, The New York Times reported on Saturday.  The Times said cities, states and municipalities in the United States were trying to determine whether they suffered loses due to rate manipulation and some had filed suit. Given the broad scope of the Libor case and the number of institutions thought to be involved, the investigations could provide authorities with a "signature moment" to hold big banks accountable for misdeeds during the financial crisis, which hit global markets from late 2007, the newspaper said."
