Recovering funds
Investors who are the victims of violations of the securities laws can be eligible to retrieve money that has been recovered from scammers. The recovered funds are occasionally given to victims of an effective SEC enforcement action.
Not every victim can get his money back. When victims obtain compensation, it may be far less than what they lost, and the process of disbursing the funds may be drawn out.
Disgorgement and fair funds, receiverships, consumer protections for brokerage accounts, corporate bankruptcy processes, and private class action lawsuits are just a few of the procedures that might aid victims in getting their money back.
