The WSJ has an interesting article today about Neil MacBride, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who is putting together a new investigative task force to crack down on financial crime and securities fraud. He has hired several new prosecutors to focus on white-collar crime and is targeting high-profile cases, the WSJ reports. “I think Virginia and New York are the only two districts that have jurisdiction over all securities-fraud cases involving all publicly traded companies,” he says.
