  Washington, D.C., March 4, 2009 - The Securities and Exchange Commission today brought enforcement actions against 14 specialist firms for unlawful proprietary trading on several regional and options exchanges. The firms agreed to settle the SEC’s charges by collectively paying nearly $70 million in disgorgement and penalties.

  Press release

  I don’t see our favourite TOS there, but maybe I don’t know all their names!
