NYSE Euronext NYX +2.23% agreed to pay a $5 million penalty to settle allegations by the Securities and Exchange Commission that technology issues at the New York Stock Exchange gave some customers an “improper head start” on trading information. The case marks the first time the SEC has ever brought a case that resulted in a monetary penalty against an exchange.
Might be an idea if the SEC passed on some of these funds to the wronged parties – and maybe they should take some responsibility in the Corzine and PFG “circus”
