- Excerpt from SEC Issues Cease and Desist Order Against Goldman Sachs for Pay-to-Play Violations By Justin B. Ettelson:

(Goldman Sachs) for violations of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s (MSRB) pay-to play rules, is a good reminder for brokers, dealers and municipal securities dealers of the issues and pitfalls associated with making political contributions.
