The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating at least nine possible violations of insider-trading laws related to recent mergers and acquisitions. Among others, the following transactions are being investigated: Pfizer Inc.'s takeover of Wyeth Corp., Merck & Co.'s purchase of Schering-Plough Corp., Abbott Laboratories' acquisition of Advanced Medical Optics, and Eli Lilly & Co.'s purchase of ImClone Systems Inc.

After acquiring Merrill Lynch & Co., Bank of America Corp. made a tentative agreement with the U.S. government to share in any losses up to $118 billion resulting from the acquisition. BoA has asked to exit the agreement, which was neither finalized nor used. The U.S. government requests BoA pay an exit penalty of $425 million, claiming BoA did benefit from the agreement through implied financial protection.

Despite its current Chapter 11 protection, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s brokerage customers' accounts are protected and will be transferred to other brokerage firms. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will oversee the transfers while offering clients safeguards under the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, a non-profit organization created to protect investors' accounts in case of brokerage insolvency. When filing for bankruptcy, Lehman reported $639 billion in assets and $613 billion in debt. The company is holding last-minute negotiations with other financial institutions to sell large portions of its assets.
