The SEC obtained $8.2 billion in financial remedies in fiscal year 2024, the highest amount in its history, including $6.1 billion in disgorgement and prejudgment interest and $2.1 billion in civil penalties.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by multiple independent sources including law firm client alerts and financial news; minor nuance that the $2.1B civil penalty figure was second-highest (not highest) does not undermine the core claim about the $8.2B total being a record.
