The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on Wednesday that Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the Division of Enforcement, will leave his role on Oct. 11. Upon his departure, Sanjay Wadhwa, currently the Division’s Deputy Director, will step in as Acting Director, with Sam Waldon, the Chief Counsel, assuming the position of Acting Deputy Director.

SEC Chair Gary Gensler highlighted Grewal’s impact during his tenure, emphasizing his work in protecting investors and upholding securities laws. Gensler stated:

He has led a Division that has acted without fear or favor.

During Grewal’s tenure, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement recommended over 2,400 enforcement actions, leading to more than $20 billion in disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties. These actions also resulted in over 340 industry bans, over $1 billion in whistleblower awards, and the return of billions to investors. Moreover, under his leadership, the SEC prioritized cases involving insider trading and gatekeeper failures, leading to significant penalties.

The securities regulator further detailed:

For example, under Mr. Grewal’s leadership, the Division recommended and the Commission authorized more than 100 enforcement actions addressing widespread noncompliance in the quickly growing crypto space.

They included targeting operators of the largest global and U.S. crypto platforms for failing to adhere to federal registration laws, the SEC noted.
