Remarks For Acting Associate Attorney General Stuart Delery Press Conference Announcing Settlement With S&P

Date 03/02/2015

Thank you, Mr. Attorney General.

During the lead-up to the financial crisis, S&P served as a gatekeeper in the world of sophisticated finance.  S&P repeatedly promised that its ratings were objective, independent, and not influenced by S&P’s relationships with the investment banks that issued the securities.  When the department brought this suit, we alleged, to the contrary, that S&P limited, adjusted and delayed updates to the ratings criteria and analytical models it used in order to preserve market share and profits.  In addition, S&P issued inflated ratings on billions of dollars’ worth of securities despite knowing that the quality of the underlying assets was impaired and that the ratings would not hold.  Put simply: we brought this case because S&P committed fraud.
