Securities and Exchange Commission v. Stephen Kenneth Leech, No. 1:24-cv-09017 (S.D.N.Y. filed Nov. 25, 2024)
The Securities and Exchange Commission today moved for entry of a final judgment by consent against Stephen Kenneth Leech II, the former co-chief investment officer of registered investment adviser Western Asset Management Company LLC, whom the SEC previously charged with a multi-year cherry-picking allocation scheme.

Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following litigation release: * * * Securities and Exchange Commission v. Stephen Kenneth Leech, No. 1:24-cv-09017 (S.D.N.Y. filed Nov. 25, 2024) The Securities and Exchange Commission today moved for entry of a final judgment by consent against Stephen Kenneth Leech II, the former co-chief investment officer of registered investment adviser Western Asset Management Company LLC, whom the SEC previously charged with a multi-year cherry-picking allocation scheme. As alleged in the SEC's November 2024 complaint, from at leastJanuary 2021 through October 2023, Leech placed trades and then routinely delayed allocations until near or after futures markets set daily settlement prices, allowing him to observe price movements and disproportionally allocate hundreds of millions of dollars in realized and unrealized first day gains to favored portfolios and a similar amount of realized and unrealized first day losses to disfavored portfolios.
Without admitting the allegations in the SEC's complaint, Leech consented to entry of a final judgment, subject to court approval, that would order him to pay a $3 million penalty, impose an officer-and-director bar and permanently enjoin him from violating Section 17(a)(1) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5(a) and (c) thereunder, Sections 206(1) and (2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and Section 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Leech also agreed to a forthcoming associational bar against him.
In June 2026, the Commission instituted settled public administrative proceedings against Western Asset, ordering the firm to pay a $100 million civil penalty and establishing a Fair Fund to distribute money to affected investors in the disfavored portfolios.
Also in June 2026, Leech pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice charges related to false and misleading testimony he provided to the SEC during its investigation; sentencing will take place in the coming weeks.
The SEC's investigation was handled by Ronnie Lasky, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Sarah Nilson, all of the Division of Enforcement's Asset Management Unit, and supervised by Corey Schuster, Chief of the Asset Management Unit, and Brent Wilner, Associate Director of the SEC's Los Angeles Regional Office. The litigation was supervised by Christopher Colorado and Dan Loss, of the SEC's New York Regional Office. Assistance was also provided by Jennifer Ferris, Michael Barnes, Thomas Dunn, and Stephen Graham of the SEC's Division of Economic and Risk Analysis. The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI.

FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Issues Public Notice: Bureau Seeks Comment on Proposed Rebate Categories, Amounts for Radio Altimeter Retrofits to Support Upper C-Band Transition
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 -- The Federal Communications Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau issued the following public notice (GN Docket No. 25-59):
* * *
With this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) invites interested parties to comment on proposed categories, dollar amounts, and any other relevant information or procedures in connection with rebates to support retrofits of radio altimeters mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to facilitate the introduction of terrestrial wireless services in the Upper C-band./1 The adjacent 4.2-4.4 GHz band ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 -- The Federal Communications Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau issued the following public notice (GN Docket No. 25-59): * * * With this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) invites interested parties to comment on proposed categories, dollar amounts, and any other relevant information or procedures in connection with rebates to support retrofits of radio altimeters mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to facilitate the introduction of terrestrial wireless services in the Upper C-band./1 The adjacent 4.2-4.4 GHz bandis allocated for the operation of radio altimeters, which are aeronautical safety systems primarily used at altitudes less than 2500 feet above ground level to measure aircraft height above terrain and obstacles in all phases of flight./2 In adopting the Upper C-band R&O, the Commission worked in close coordination with a parallel FAA rulemaking to ensure a successful coexistence environment between new wireless operations and neighboring radio altimeters by increasing radio altimeters' robustness and signal rejection capabilities through retrofits./3 To ensure that new Upper C-band licensees may deploy on a predictable timeline aligned with the FAA's radio altimeter retrofit schedule, the Upper C-band R&O established that new 3.7 GHz Service licensees will, as a condition of their licenses, fund rebates to facilitate compliance with the FAA's retrofit requirements by defined classes of eligible aircraft owners and operators./4
In deciding to facilitate compliance with the FAA's requirements in this manner, the Commission specifically noted that the radio altimeters subject to the retrofit are in the adjacent band, that they are not being relocated, and that their Commission authorizations are not being modified, putting them in a distinct posture as compared with in-band incumbents./5 Accordingly, and considering the large scope of potential claims for rebates with accompanying administrative burdens and operational costs, the Commission declined to adopt an actual cost reimbursement framework, finding it neither appropriate nor practicable in this context./6 Instead, the Commission adopted a rebate structure that will establish set amounts for different categories of aircraft based on the number of radio altimeters involved in each upgrade, the general level of efforts involved in each type of retrofit, and other reasonable and necessary factors involved in accomplishing each category of retrofit, including timing considerations such as the relevant FAA deadline for compliance./7 The Commission explained that this rebate structure was intended to streamline the overall process to make support for the retrofits available more quickly and to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse./8 The rebate structure is also meant to minimize the operational costs of administering the rebates and help to ensure that these adjacent band stakeholders are able to meet the applicable retrofit deadlines imposed by the FAA./9 With these same factors in mind, the Commission also specified defined classes of eligible aircraft, as well as aircraft owners and operators, who must be subject to the FAA deadlines and operate in the airspace of the contiguous United States in order to qualify for the rebates./10 The Commission also determined that it would not be in the public interest to offer rebates to foreign-registered aircraft operators and owners given the fluid and itinerant nature of their operations in the airspace of the contiguous United States,/11 and determined that other entities and radio altimeter equipment would not be eligible for rebates./12 The Commission delegated authority to the Bureau to implement the rebate structure adopted in the Upper C-band R&O./13
While the record to date reflects limited economic information relating to upgraded radio altimeters, we recognize that commenters/14 and FAA/15 have developed estimates in part based on experience with existing radio altimeter models./16 Based on these estimates, as well as more refined technical assistance provided by FAA subsequent to the completion of the FAA Final Rule, Appendix A hereto proposes draft categories and rebate amounts upon the type of aircraft, the number of radio altimeters each aircraft type has, and the relative level of effort involved in retrofitting such aircraft. Each aircraft category and corresponding rebate amount is predicated on certain assumptions, namely that the effort needed to upgrade an existing radio altimeter design will be less time- and resource-intensive than the acquisition and installation of an entirely new design./17 These draft rebate amounts also anticipate different timing and scheduling considerations for those entities that must comply with the FAA's first retrofit deadline in late 2030, as compared to those that must meet the second retrofit deadline in 2034./18 We seek comment on these draft rebate categories and dollar amounts, as well as the assumptions and methodology underlying these proposals./19 Given the lack of detailed supporting data in the current record, commenters recommending any adjustments are strongly encouraged to specify those changes in detail and provide supporting data, documentation, and other record support for their recommendations.
Finally, we also seek comment on any other requirements or guidance the Bureau can consider in terms of relevant information, documentation, or procedures that will be helpful to eligible aircraft owners and operators and enable the Upper C-band Clearinghouse to equitably and expeditiously administer the rebates./20 For example, what records or other documentation (such as maintenance logs) would be available across different aircraft categories that would sufficiently establish that the FAA-mandated retrofits have been completed by the relevant deadline and could serve as support for a rebate claim filed with the Upper C-band Clearinghouse? Should aircraft owners and operators be advised to provide any additional detail in such records reflecting, for example, the number of radio altimeters per aircraft, type of retrofit work (i.e., upgrade of an existing radio altimeter design, or installation of an entirely new design), and date of retrofit completion for each type of aircraft? What other documentation might supplement those records or serve as an alternative to achieve the same goals, such as detailed certifications by the eligible aircraft owner and operator? What information from other sources could be used to validate a claim (for example, the FAA maintains records regarding aircraft owner information associated with aircraft registrations, technical standard order authorizations for radio altimeters, and design approvals)? Commenters should address any documentation best practices that they suggest would both provide appropriate support for any rebate claim and enable the Upper C-band Clearinghouse to prevent any fraud, waste, or abuse in administering the rebates. Our intent in seeking comment on these matters is not to unduly constrain the Upper C-band Clearinghouse in developing any relevant claims processing procedures, but rather to develop a factual record and provide guidance to all stakeholders that will facilitate and expedite the administration of these rebates.
Consistent with the Upper C-band R&O, the Bureau will issue a public notice finalizing the rebate categories and amounts, as well as any other requirements and guidance, as soon as feasible./21

FCC Public Safety & Homeland Security Bureau Issues Public Notice: Bureau Remind Intelligent Transportation System Licensees to Transition From DSRC To C-V2x Operations
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 -- The Federal Communications Commission Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau issued the following public notice (ET Docket No. 19-138):
* * *
The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) (the Bureaus) remind Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) licensees that they must transition from dedicated short-range communications (DSRC)-based operations to cellular vehicle to everything (C-V2X)-based technology in the upper 30-megahertz (5.895-5.925 GHz) portion of the 5.850-5.925 GHz (5.9 GHz) band by December 14, ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 -- The Federal Communications Commission Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau issued the following public notice (ET Docket No. 19-138): * * * The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) and the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) (the Bureaus) remind Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) licensees that they must transition from dedicated short-range communications (DSRC)-based operations to cellular vehicle to everything (C-V2X)-based technology in the upper 30-megahertz (5.895-5.925 GHz) portion of the 5.850-5.925 GHz (5.9 GHz) band by December 14,2026./1 After DSRC operations sunset on December 14, 2026, authority to operate DSRC-based roadside units (RSUs) will terminate, and the Bureaus will delete all DSRC-based RSUs from IQ/QQ Licenses./2
Part 90 Licensing Guidance and Filing Instructions.
On November 21, 2024, the Commission released the 5.9 GHz Second Report and Order, which addressed the transition of 5.9 GHz ITS operations from DSRC to C-V2X by codifying C-V2X technical parameters in the Commission's rules. The new C-V2X-based rules became effective on February 11, 2025 (sixty days after publication of the final rules in the Federal Register)./3 Accordingly, on February 11, 2025, all part 90 ITS licensees currently authorized to operate DSRC-based technology in the upper 30-megahertz portion of the band were eligible to modify their RSUs for C-V2X deployment in compliance with the new C-V2X-based rules./4 Current ITS licensees who wish to modify (i.e., convert) existing DSRC-based RSUs to C-V2X-based RSUs must submit their modification applications in ULS as follows:/5
* File FCC Form 601 Schedule M electronically in ULS to modify an existing DSRC RSU.
* The application must include an attachment specifying that this is a request for a C-V2X RSU using the attachment type "C-V2X RSU Registration."
* The FCC Form 601 Schedule M may contain fields or information not relevant to C-V2X RSUs (such as Equipment Class). Applicants may select any valid entry, or enter N/A in these fields as necessary.
* Applicants should select the entire upper 30 megahertz of the 5.9 GHz band (5.895-5.925 GHz) (i.e., applicants should select the combination of DSRC channels 180, 181, 182 or 184 up to the full 30 MHz of bandwidth) when registering C-V2X RSUs and where applicable, de-select the channels associated with the lower 45 megahertz of the 5.9 GHz band (5.850- 5.895 GHz)./6 All other technical specifications must comply with the applicable C-V2X rules.
All DSRC operations sunset on December 14, 2026, so the Bureaus will delete all DSRC-based RSUs from the respective license if they are not converted to C-V2X by the deadline./7 Following deletion of DSRC-based RSUs, or at any time, ITS licensees with an IQ/QQ geographic area license may register new C-V2X-based RSUs following the process outlined in the Transition Public Notice./8 People with Disabilities. To request materials in accessible formats for people with disabilities (braille, large print, electronic files, audio format), send an e-mail to fcc504@fcc.gov or call the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice).

Here are excerpts: * * * In 2025, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) transformed its fair lending program by refocusing its regulatory, supervisory, and enforcement activities on its statutory authority and identified consumer harm. Under previous administrations, the CFPB was weaponized and had gone beyond its statutory mandate. In the area of fair lending specifically, CFPB leadershipuncovered egregious examples of companies being targeted for protected political speech and exercising their constitutional rights. Throughout the reporting period, the CFPB worked to correct its course and reverse the previous administrations' abuses and overreach of its statutory mandates.
Under President Trump, the CFPB shifted the way it regulates, supervises, and enforces the laws as required under the Dodd-Frank Act. The CFPB's fair lending efforts now focus on proven, intentional racial discrimination with actual identifiable victims. The CFPB does not engage in or facilitate unconstitutional racial classification or discrimination in its enforcement of fair lending laws. The Bureau employs its resources on pressing threats to consumers and in the areas that are clearly within the CFPB's statutory authority, without duplicating work of other regulators. Enforcement also is being guided by a new set of principles so that the CFPB focuses on addressing actual harm to consumers, ensuring due process, seeking collaboration when appropriate, and promoting efficiency.
To guide its fair lending efforts, CFPB leadership prioritized implementation of several executive orders, including directives prohibiting unlawful debanking, terminating all discriminatory and illegal preferences, and ending use of disparate impact liability in the enforcement of civil rights laws. Accordingly, during the reporting period, the CFPB stopped using disparate impact in its supervision and enforcement of fair lending laws and undid previous actions relying on disparate impact. The CFPB also stopped consulting with institutions regarding special purpose credit programs (SPCPs) based on race, color, national origin, or sex and prioritized addressing unlawful debanking.
In support of the President's deregulatory agenda, the CFPB worked diligently to reverse regulatory overreach, reduce unjustified regulatory burdens, and streamline and clarify existing regulations. In 2025, the CFPB prioritized two rulemakings related to fair lending. Both rules were finalized in 2026. The first rulemaking amended Regulation B, subpart A, implementing the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) to affirm that ECOA does not authorize disparate impact liability. The rule also prohibits use of race, color, national origin, or sex as eligibility criteria for SPCPs and clarifies the discouragement provisions, protecting targeted advertising from discouragement claims under ECOA. We made these important regulatory changes to align with the best reading of the law and to minimize risks of impermissible and unconstitutional discrimination. Importantly, the changes help ensure that credit is made available to all without regard to protected class status.
The second rulemaking amended Regulation B, subpart B, implementing section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. It amended the scope of what constitutes a covered financial institution and covered credit transaction, modified the gross annual revenue threshold in the rule's definition of small business from $5 million or less to $1 million or less, removed certain data points not required by the statute, and altered certain requirements related to how data is collected. The 2023 rule had imposed a significant number of requirements that are unnecessary to advance the purposes of section 1071, and the CFPB now asks for only what the statute requires. These updates both reduce unnecessary compliance burdens and result in a substantial cost savings for impacted institutions, including a one-time savings of nearly $100M and an annual ongoing savings between $166M and $181M per year.
As this report reflects, we have made great progress implementing the President's agenda in 2025, and we are very proud of our fair lending accomplishments. These are only a few examples of the CFPB's fair lending work in 2025, as described in this report. Although the reporting period for this report is calendar year 2025, we have also included some activity that took place outside of the reporting period due to its importance and relevance to the covered topics.
