Book excerpt: This article discusses the increasing use of the Internet for securities transactions, the growth of securities fraud perpetrated through that medium and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) enforcement program initiated to combat it. The author critiques the position taken by the SEC that the existing anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws can be stretched to cover Internet fraud. Using an enforcement action brought by the SEC against an online stock trading guru named Tokyo Joe as an example of the confused jurisprudence that results when pre-cyberspace law is applied to securities fraud in cyberspace, the author proposes a different regulatory model for online investment advisers like Tokyo Joe that takes the differences between the online world and the world of conventional communications media into account. The author proposes a new source of fiduciary duty in the online context, namely the formation of virtual stock trading communities, which duty would include good faith and fair dealing with investors over the Internet.

Download or read book Electronic Theft written by Peter Grabosky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-02 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this book was first published in 2001, the convergence of communications and computing had begun to transform Western industrial societies. Increasing connectivity was accompanied by unprecedented opportunities for crimes of acquisition. The fundamental principle of criminology is that crime follows opportunity, and opportunities for theft abound in the digital age. Electronic Theft named, described and analysed the range of electronic and digital theft, and constituted the first major survey of the field. The authors covered a broad list of electronic misdemeanours, including extortion, defrauding governments, telephone fraud, securities fraud, deceptive advertising and other business practices, industrial espionage, intellectual property crimes, and the misappropriation and unauthorised use of personal information. They were able to capture impressively large amounts of data internationally from both scholarly and professional sources. The book posed and attempted to answer some of the pressing questions to do with national sovereignty and enforceability of laws in 2001.

Book excerpt: The history and origins of securities fraud goes back to World War I and the Great Depression. People took advantage of the booming post-war economy. The repercussions of the Great Depression increased public trading and stimulated the need to establish the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC and its securities laws were created in order to reduce securities fraud. Securities investment fraud occurs when investors make a purchase or sale based on false information, usually resulting in losses and misleading investors and is in violation of the securities laws. Since the 1990s, technology and the Internet in particular have transformed the securities industry, attracting the attention of government agencies such as the Department of Justice and the SEC. Both agencies have increased efforts to investigate publicly traded corporations and individuals in an attempt to assess and mitigate securities fraud as well as to prevent reoccurrences. The U.S. securities industry is currently held to a higher level of scrutiny as a result of the contemporary global stock market crashes and deflated market values. The Internet offers unprecedented access to information. It has revolutionized the way in which the average investor researches and invests and has changed the dynamics within the securities industry, and the way the securities industry operates. These changes bring new opportunities for fraud. This paper will give an overview of securities fraud and examines the different types of securities fraud schemes and methodologies possible through the Internet; analyzes the roles of the SEC and the Federal Statutes to combat securities fraud; explores the contributory role of securities fraud in exacerbating recessed market and finally, assesses the impact of fraud on investor practices.
