What is alleged to have happened

the Securities and Exchange Commission announced this matter on September 8, 2022 as release IA-6110. The respondents named are NPA Asset Management, LLC (0 individuals, 1 entity).

This library tags the matter as churning, based on the conduct the regulator describes. Each tag links to a page explaining how that technique works, what statute it engages, and what penalties comparable actions have attracted. The tagging is ours, not the regulator's: agencies charge statutory provisions, not technique names.

The conduct is recorded against bonds.

The relief recorded in our data is disgorgement of $367,874. Penalty and disgorgement are distinct: disgorgement returns the gain, while the penalty is punitive. We store them separately so that aggregate figures across the library are not double-counted.

For the regulator's own account of the facts, read the primary document linked above. This page deliberately summarises the structured record rather than reproducing the release.
