SEC shows leniency to former hedge-fund administrator in a first for agency – The Washington Post

By Securities Docket on November 13, 2013, 8:00 am

The SEC announced Tuesday that it will forego significant enforcement action against Scott Herckis because he flagged the agency to misconduct that fleeced investors of $1.5 million.
