I found out yesterday, in a very indirect way, that the company I currently work for (a major financial services firm) has been breaking the law for pretty much the past 5 years on 30% of all trading activity.

I did a rough estimate calculation and the amount of money transacted illegally is astronomical.

I am scared shitless because I did most of the paperwork behind these deals, unaware that what I was submitting was illegal.

I am thinking of bringing this up to the SEC.

well, as a whistleblower, you can forget about ever working in the financial services industry again.

Key words here bro... Substantially Correct.

So long as you believed the numbers you submitted were SUBSTABTIALLY CORRECT, you'll be ok. if your lawyer does even a half-ass job at looking for precedents, he'll find it (pm me and i'll give you the state it's easy to find in... it's a state that's probably the most friendly to finance law).

besides that, so long as you believed the numbers you were given were correct, you should be ok... even if you didn't do due diligence. Worst that'll happen is you'll be suspended from practice for a year.

that's a hell of a lot better than having a license and being unable to find work because nobody will hire a rat.

Send an email to your manager expressing your shock and horror at discovering that you were unknowingly implicated in what appears to be fraudulent activity. Start a paper trail ASAP.

If by "I did most of the paperwork behind these deals" means your john handcock is on them it's on you and who ever else signed the docs. If your boss didn't sign them it's not on him... Sucker

so long as he believed he was working with correct information he'll be ok. hard to prove criminal negligence in financial matters in the absence of criminal intent.

You think you might be involved in white collar organized crime and your first thought is to seek advice on getbig? I'm calling fiction or incredible stupidity. Since this is getbig I know which one I am leaning to.

Tough call - I'd consider the possibility that they could be putting you in the frame for it. If that's a possibility, then I'd go to the SEC.

What's the legal position regarding you not reporting this now that you know.
