MS is a publicly traded company. If the company exposes itself to a potential huge fine by wrongdoing on one of their markets, that's totally something the SEC can be interested in.
- snowpid 2y agois there some cases where that happenend? American public company broke non - American law and the SEC intervened?
- ale42 2y agoI don't know, but from what I've read online, "the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws apply extraterritorially [...] when the conduct outside the United States had a substantial effect in the United States or upon United States citizens." [1]. Now, if MS receives a huge fine in Europe, it might have an influence on the stock, which might imply losses for US-based investors, and that should be sufficient.
