Self-report fraud and walk free, New York prosecutors tell Wall Street

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are promoting a more lenient approach to corporate fraud enforcement, encouraging Wall Street firms to voluntarily disclose wrongdoing in exchange for avoiding criminal charges, fines, and public disclosure of settlements. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, historically known for aggressive prosecutions of firms such as Drexel Burnham Lambert and SAC Capital, has been meeting with law firms and corporate advisers to explain its revised self-reporting policy under U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, the former chair of Apollo Global Management.
