<br/><br/> "Although the SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] brought a record number of enforcement cases last year [2003], critics say it still is not doing enough to stop some types of fraud, such as the sale of dubious U.S. securities by unlicensed, offshore brokerages, known as 'boiler rooms.'" (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH) This article discusses the role of the SEC in the prosecution of unlicensed boiler rooms and reveals where this government body has been lax.
