Martin Act

Legislation in New York State that, as amended, gives the New York Attorney General wide power and discretion in investigating financial fraud. The Martin Act allows the Attorney General to question brokers and other interested parties without first specifying whether he/she intends to pursue criminal charges or file a civil suit. The Attorney General does not need to show whether the person(s) being charged under the Act intended to commit misconduct.
