The SEC's case against Mr Tourre was one of the most prominent to come out of the financial crisis, and became a key battle for a government keen to demonstrate it was holding bankers to account for their alleged misdeeds ahead of the collapse in the mortgage market. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
