Yesterday, April 19, I moderated an extraordinary live panel discussion at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The event was hosted by Securities Docket and featured four current and former top officials of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission:

The Honorable Stanley Sporkin of the Gavel Consulting Group; former judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (1985-2000) and former Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement (1974-1981)

Thomas Sporkin, Chief, SEC Enforcement’s Office of Market Intelligence

George Curtis, partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher; former Regional and Deputy Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement (2006-2009)

John Reed Stark, Managing Director, Stroz Friedberg; former founder and Chief, SEC Enforcement’s Office of Internet Enforcement (1998-2009)

A video recording of this event, which included a detailed discussion of the SEC's lawsuit against Goldman Sachs filed on Friday, is available below.
