The Securities and Exchange Commission has agreed to pay $580,000 in a settlement with a former SEC assistant inspector general who said the agency fired him for exposing possible misconduct. The SEC reached its agreement last month with David Weber, whose termination from the agency was rescinded as part of the terms, according to his attorney, Cary J. Hansel. The SEC also agreed to clear his record, removing negative references from his file, Hansel said. More in the Washington Post here.
