\nMr Rohrabacher,<\/p>\n

I hope this note finds you well. As you well know in the last 5 years we have suffered at the hands of unethical if not illegal treatment from big banks and predatory lending\/investing agencies. <\/p>\n

Released in the Rolling Stone magazine last Wednesday and now found on marketwatch.com is a story of how the SEC has destroyed critical evidence in a large number of these cases.<\/p>\n

I am looking for 2 things: <\/p>\n

1. Actions that myself and fellow Americans can take to make sure those responsible for this decision to destroy evidence are brought to justice.<\/p>\n

2. How to determine what evidence was lost and try to salvage the now weaker cases against our corporate citizens. <\/p>\n

An excerpt from the article<\/a> found here:
\n———–
\nThe allegations were made by SEC enforcement attorney, Darcy Flynn, in a letter to Grassley. Flynn is a current employee, and according to the letter, received a bonus for his past year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work.<\/p>\n

Flynn alleges the SEC destroyed files related to matters being examined in important cases such as Bernard Madoff and a $50 billion Ponzi scheme he operated as well as an investigation involving Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS -1.22% trading in American International Group credit-default swaps in 2009.<\/p>\n

Flynn also alleged that the agency destroyed documents and information collected for preliminary investigations at Wells Fargo & Co. WFC -1.52% , Bank of America Corp. BAC -0.57% , Citigroup C -4.32% , Credit Suisse CS -1.80% , Deutsche Bank DB -3.66% Morgan Stanley MS -1.23% and the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers.
\n———– <\/p>\n

Thank You.<\/p>\n
