The SEC’s Low Burden of Proof – WSJ

By Securities Docket on July 15, 2013, 12:13 pm

Here’s a modest proposal: When a federal law-enforcement agency sets out to punish a private citizen or business based on accusations of fraud or similar wrongdoing, it should have to prove its case by more than just a preponderance of the evidence. While proof beyond reasonable doubt may be too high a hurdle in nominally civil cases that can’t result in incarceration, proof by clear and convincing evidence seems the least that due process should demand.
