Civil Remedies for Securities Fraud
Civil remedies for securities fraud are legal actions investors can take if they believe they've been misled or deceived in the stock or securities market. These remedies typically involve suing the fraudster to recover damages, which compensates for the financial loss caused by the fraudulent conduct. The goal is to provide a way for injured investors to seek justice and financial restitution outside of criminal prosecution. Such remedies are vital for maintaining fairness and integrity in the securities market by holding wrongdoers accountable and deterring dishonest practices.
