Reducing the SEC's budget at this critical juncture--in the aftermath of the fiscal crisis and after the SEC has been granted significant new responsibilities--would diminish both our ability to police rapidly changing markets and the…

I am really concerned that 'too big to fail' has become 'too big for trial.' That just seems wrong to me.

Can you identify when you last took the Wall Street banks to trial?

It is harder than it looks. I appreciate your being here.

I appreciate that you say you do not have to bring them to trial. My question is: When did you bring them to trial?
