Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and NYSE Euronext enforcement actions and developments regarding broker-dealers during 2010.* The SEC In 2009, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement began a comprehensive review and reorganization. Over the last year, Enforcement worked on implementing many of the changes to its program that resulted from that review. One of the most far-reaching changes was the creation of five national specialized units within the Enforcement Division. The leaders of those units were announced in January 2010, and the groups have been staffed with attorneys and other experienced personnel throughout the country. The specialized units have identified a number of initiatives and brought significant enforcement actions in their area of expertise. Examples include several insider trading cases involving rings of tippers and traders initiated by the Market Abuse Unit, and the Structured and New Products Unit’s focus on collateralized debt obligations and other complex financial products. Enforcement’s restructuring also included the creation and staffing of two new offices: the Office of the Managing

CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS AND THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS IN THE U.S. AND ICELAND: WHAT CAN A SMALL TOWN ICELANDIC POLICE CHIEF TEACH THE U.S. ABOUT PROSECUTING WALL STREET? JUSTIN REX* Politicians, journalists, and academics alike highlight the paucity of criminal prosecutions for senior financial executives in the United States in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. One common argument for the lack of prosecutions is that, though industry players behaved recklessly, they did not behave criminally. This Article evaluates this claim by detailing the civil and small number of criminal actions actually taken, and by reviewing leading arguments about whether behavior before the crisis was criminal.
