Breaking: Chairman Cox States SEC Received Credible, Specific Allegations About Madoff But Failed to Thoroughly Investigate December 16, 2008 at 7:11 pm SEC Chairman Christopher Cox stated Tueday evening that he is "deeply troubled" by initial findings that "credible and specific allegations regarding Mr. Madoff's financial wrongdoing, going back to at least 1999, were repeatedly brought to the attention of SEC staff, but were never recommended to the Commission for action. I am gravely concerned by the apparent multiple failures over at least a decade to thoroughly investigate these allegations or at any point to seek formal authority to pursue them. Moreover, a consequence of the failure to seek a formal order of investigation from the Commission is that subpoena power was not used to obtain information, but rather the staff relied upon information voluntarily produced by Mr. Madoff and his firm. Cox stated that he has directed the SEC's Inspector General, H. David Kotz, to conduct a full and immediate review of the past allegations regarding Mr. Madoff and his firm and the reasons they were not found credible. The review will also cover the internal policies at the SEC governing when allegations such as those in this case should be raised to the Commission level, whether those policies were followed, and whether improvements to those policies are necessary. Cox further stated that "the investigation should also include all staff contact and relationships with the Madoff family and firm, and their impact, if any, on decisions by staff regarding the firm."
