Restoring Due Process
ICAN is fighting for fundamental fairness in SEC proceedings, demanding transparent processes, reasonable timelines, and constitutional protections for all market participants.
Like so many other federal agencies, over the years, the SEC has behaved increasingly like a law unto itself, too often willing to ignore due process and fairness in its pursuit of wins. At the same time, everyday Americans seeking redress are forced to navigate a sprawling, Kafkaesque bureaucracy where appeals can languish for years. SEC “forever bars” have become alarmingly common as SEC bureaucratic delays and inaction have turned the right to apply for reinstatement, which is included in many forced settlements, into an illusory promise. It is a pattern that ICAN will no longer allow to continue unchallenged.
Through our targeted litigation strategy and advocacy, ICAN is holding the SEC accountable to the core American values of justice, fairness, and due process - principles that are essential for robust capital markets.
