Stanley Sporkin, Bane of Corporate Corruption, Dies at 88 – The New York Times

By Securities Docket on March 25, 2020, 12:02 pm

Stanley Sporkin, a legal crusader who, as the chief enforcement officer at the Securities and Exchange Commission, held American corporations accountable for making illicit campaign contributions in the United States and for bribing public officials abroad, died on Monday in Rockville, Md. He was 88.

His death, from congestive heart failure in a hospice, was confirmed by his son Daniel.

In the 1970s, at a newly vitalized S.E.C., Mr. Sporkin investigated illegal corporate slush funds, pressured American companies to comply with the commission’s cease-and-desist orders, and sued the firms if they failed to do so.
