Breaking records with SEC fines

In 2002, Xerox set a record, receiving the largest SEC fine up to that point – $10 million. The new record is now held by WorldCom, which received a fine of $750 million. Other companies that have received 6-digit fines include Royal Dutch/Shell Group, Qwest Communications International, AOL-Time Warner, and Computer Associates International.

Thanks CFO Magazine for this bit of trivia!
