The Heroes of the Day
"The plaintiffs in Harrington Global Opportunity Fund Ltd. v. CIBC World Markets, Inc et.al, represented by Warshaw Burstein, LLP, have every reason to celebrate.
"The judge’s ruling categorically means that going forward, big banks and financial institutions won’t just be fined for not actively closing shorts, they could be held liable for what so far has been an estimated trillion dollars in losses to retail investors, companies and the U.S. government.
“'Brokers can no longer claim that they are not liable for their customers’ trading activities because they are only following their directions. A broker can now be held primarily liable under the federal securities laws when they recklessly fail to monitor, detect and prevent the manipulative or fraudulent trading of their customers,' Warshaw Burstein said in a statement following the judge’s September 29 ruling."
