The North American Securities Administrators Association
("NASAA") identified recent enforcement trends in an
annual summary of enforcement actions.
In the 2018 Enforcement Report, NASAA highlighted that in
2017:
-
roughly 8,000 complaints were received and approximately 5,000
investigations initiated;
-
almost $486 million was returned to investors; and
-
coordinated enforcement efforts served to maximize NASAA's
collective ability to protect the investing public.
Further, NASAA identified a large increase in enforcement
actions against unregistered individuals and firms and that seniors
remained a primary target of investment fraud. NASAA also noted an
increase in enforcement focus on suspect initial coin offerings and
other investments involving cryptocurrencies.
