In July 2019 the SEC announced a consent judgment against former Equifax executive Jun Ying, who sold stock before the data breach announcement and avoided over $117,000 in losses. He owes disgorgement and interest totalling $125,636, offset by $117,117 forfeited in the criminal case, and accepted a ten-year officer-and-director bar. He was sentenced to four months.

What is alleged to have happened
The June 28, 2019 judgment enjoins Ying under Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, and concludes the SEC's litigation. The release gives disgorgement and interest only as a combined figure, so none is stored as disgorgement.
