Article Excerpt:
Peter Chepucavage, a former counsel
at the SEC who helped draft Regulation SHO, said the
initial weakness of the rule and the years it took the
SEC to stiffen it can be traced to the lobbying efforts
of hedge funds and Wall Street.
Brokerage firms "have made huge
amounts of money" facilitating short selling, said
Mr. Chepucavage, general counsel for Plexus Consulting
Group, a Washington firm that advises nonprofit firms
and broker-dealers. "They want and have argued
strenuously for flexibility."
