On May 1, 2014, the SEC instituted administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against New York Stock Exchange LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc., NYSE MKT LLC, and Archipelago Securities, L.L.C. According to the SEC: "This matter primarily involves a number of episodes in which the Respondent Exchanges engaged in business practices without having effective exchange rules in place, or operated in a manner that did not comply with the exchange rules then in effect or the federal securities laws. In addition, Archipelago Securities L.L.C. ('ArcaSec'), the wholly-owned routing broker for the Respondent Exchanges, failed to establish, maintain, and enforce policies and procedures in connection with error account trading that were reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic information by the broker or any person associated with the broker. ArcaSec also violated the Exchange Act and rules thereunder by effecting transactions in securities without sufficient net capital and failing to provide timely notice of the net capital deficiency to the Commission."
