Brokerage Firms to Pay $8.3 Million for Failure to Keep Emails
Five major firms (so far) have agreed to pay a fine to the SEC for failure to keep, and failure to produce to the SEC in regulatory investigations, emails to / from company employees.
The firms are Morgan Stanley, Salomon Smith Barney, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs, and they each will pay about $1.65 million to settle SEC charges. These penalties, albeit sizable for books and records violations, come in the midst of the incriminating emails produced by other firms such as Merrill Lynch.
