About this episode

This week, a breakdown of the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Sripetch v. SEC, upholding the regulator's power to order disgorgement from fraudsters in insider trading and other complex fraud cases with no easily identifiable victims. Jimmy interviews Law.com and New York Law Journal litigation reporter Alyssa Aquino about what this means for the SEC's enforcement powers going forward. Plus, a look at the FCC's pyrrhic victory over AT&T and Verizon over its in-house forfeiture orders, and why generic drugmakers came out on top in a patent ruling over so-called "skinny labels" for pharmaceuticals. Host: Jimmy Hoover Guest: Alyssa Aquino Producer: Charles Garnar
