The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Bank credits vs books
Large block trades and brokerage commissions to Stratton Oakmont would not align with legitimate market activity
Can mislead when: AA only sees the accounts the company links, so an undisclosed account stays invisible. Cash-heavy businesses and timing differences create false flags.
Regulatory & litigation records
SEC investigation notice and Stratton Oakmont broker registrations would reveal the coordinated scheme
Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.
