Last week, the SEC announced that Jason Burt, Deputy Director of the Division of Enforcement (Specialized Units), is departing the agency after more than 22 years of public service. The announcement notes:

In April 2025, Mr. Burt was appointed to serve as the Deputy Director for Specialized Units. In that role, he supervised enforcement investigations and litigations of the Asset Management, Complex Financial Instruments, Cyber and Emerging Technologies, Market Abuse, and Public Finance Abuse units. Mr. Burt also supervised the Office of the Whistleblower and the Commission’s recently established Cross-Border Task Force.

Mr. Burt previously served as the Regional Director of the Denver Regional Office from 2022 to 2025.
