Thomsen on Hedge Fund Fraud

Linda Chatman Thomsen, Director of Enforcement at the SEC, gave a speech before the Investment Adviser Association 9th Annual IA Compliance Best Practices Summit 200, in which she discussed recent enforcement actions involving conflicts of interest between mutual fund advisers and the funds, as well as the increasing number of enforcement actions against hedge funds, noting that "We are seeing more and more hedge fund managers engaged in trading violations. These violations include market manipulation, deceptive market timing and late trading, illegal short selling and, of course, insider trading."
