U.S. SEC battles with industry fund over Stanford victims’ claims — Reuters

By Securities Docket on October 17, 2013, 4:11 pm

In oral arguments on Wednesday, a lawyer for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission urged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to force the fund to start court proceedings so that victims can file claims to recover at least a portion of the millions of dollars they lost.

The Securities Investor Protection Corp (SIPC), which administers the fund, has refused to do so, saying it believes Stanford investors do not meet the legal definition of “customer” under a federal law that is designed to protect investors if their U.S. brokerage collapses.
