On July 15, 2010, the U.S. Senate obtained the 60 votes needed to pass the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. On the same day, the SEC reached a $550 million settlement with Goldman Sachs relating to its April 16 lawsuit by dropping its fraud charges. Supporters of both sides claimed the settlement was a victory. This short case is the epilogue to "The SEC vs. Goldman Sachs" (UVA-GEM-0101).
