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.

A dash means the release did not state a figure we could extract, not that the figure is zero. Penalty and disgorgement are stored separately so aggregates across the library do not double-count the same dollars.

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.

What technique is this, and how does it work?

This action is tagged with one technique in our taxonomy. The tagging is ours: regulators charge statutory provisions, not technique names, so the mapping is an editorial judgement described in our editorial policy.

Same matter

This grouping is the library's, made by matching names, techniques, dates and citations when the site is built. It is not the regulator's or a court's determination that the records are one case, and it errs towards missing a link rather than making a false one.
