Hi, I’m the new COO for SEC enforcement. Be scared, be very scared

This is Adam Storch, the just appointed COO of the SEC enforcement division. I know, you’re thinking, he’s not old enough to shave, has no experience in this kind of enforcement, and isn’t isn’t even a licensed broker. But you’re forgetting his most important qualification.
