Complaint
According to the SEC: "CSFB used its equity research analysts to help solicit and conduct investment banking business. By providing incentives for equity research analysts to assist in the generation of investment banking revenues, CSFB created and fostered an environment with conflicts of interest that, in some circumstances, undermined the independence of research analysts and affected the objectivity of the reports they issued."
