Falcone, 49, may also face a market manipulation claim related to trading in bonds of MAAX Holdings Inc., said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter isn’t public. The Securities and Exchange Commission voted to authorize enforcement staff to file the case, the people said.

All these regulations and restrictions and the best we can do in a case of outright theft is to sue, not prosecute?
Add his name to the pardon list, along with Corzine’s.
