In the coming months, we may see a new category of Scranton fraud charges emerge.

Under current legislation, in many cases, securities firms can claim that they are not responsible for fraudulently misleading investors because third parties make the actual investments.  Third parties man claim they are not responsible to investors because they never communicate directly with those investors.  In effect, no one is responsible to investors, even when investors have been deliberately mislead.  Specter's bill would change that, closing the loophole to give investors more power and control.

You can track the bill's progress at Open Congress.
