Interesting.
how ‘bout this, you give me more details (I skimmed) and I look it up on Lexisnexis/Westlaw. Tell me some key words and dates to throw in and I’ll get it to you.
Main key words, i.e. Reno + investigation.... + date 1/2/96 - 97.
Have you contacted the Justice Department? Some things from that era are not online...and some are just hard to access because things got moved around so much in recent years.
First get the name of the report.
You can request a copy of the report under FOIA from the U.S. Department of Justice Here:

If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, there was civil litigation (class actions). I'm just a regular retail investor and received several checks for decent amounts of money.
That said, I think the cheating still goes on every minute of every trading day.
I personally know of a $325 million IPO made in 1997 in which an approx. $9 million was paid to an alleged top organized crime syndicate figure.
And yes this was done with the full knowledge of the SEC and included some of the top brokerage houses in the U.S.
