SEC Announces $106 Million Fair Fund Distribution to Harmed Investors in HealthSouth Financial Fraud
On July 26, 2010, the SEC announced a Fair Fund distribution of more than $106 million to investors harmed in a financial fraud at HealthSouth Corporation. The Fair Fund for HealthSouth Corporation fraud victims resulted from an SEC enforcement action in March 2003 after which HealthSouth paid $100 million to settle SEC charges that it falsely inflated earnings to meet Wall Street expectations. This distribution to 67,695 individual investors, pension plans and other victims represents the entirety of the money HealthSouth paid to settle the SEC's fraud charges, plus interest.
