Late to the Party, the SEC Unleashes a Dubious Suit Against VW | The Recorder

By Securities Docket on March 18, 2019, 1:59 pm

It was an impressively broad group of plaintiffs—with a notable omission: The U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission.

Now, like some regulatory version of the fairy tale witch Maleficent—who cursed Sleeping Beauty because she wasn’t invited to her party—the SEC last week unleased a massive suit on VW in San Francisco federal court.
