The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is hiring general attorneys for its Crypto Asset and Cyber Unit (CACU) in New York, Washington, DC, and San Francisco, according to a job posting. The CACU focuses on violations of the federal securities laws and exercises the full range of the Division's investigative and law enforcement powers. The attorneys joining the CACU are expected to conduct investigations involving "crypto asset securities," develop litigation plans, draft legal documents including subpoenas, and conduct depositions. The SEC said in March that it was planning to add additional staff to the unit, which has since doubled in size.
