SEC Charges Former Carter’s Executive with Fraud and Insider Trading

SEC Press Release

The SEC announced (1) the filing of a civil action against a former executive of a clothing company for engaging in financial fraud and insider trading, and (2) perhaps more notably, the entering into of a non-prosecution agreement with the company with which he was formerly associated. The non-prosecution agreement is said to reflect the company's "prompt and complete self-reporting of the misconduct," as well as its actions in cooperating and investigating the misconduct. The non-prosecution agreement is the first entered into by the SEC since the announcement of its new cooperation initiative earlier this year.
