The SEC’s former crypto unit chief Jorge Tenreiro is now the agency’s chief litigation counsel, leading its lawsuits and legal probes across the US.
The acting chief of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s crypto and cyber unit is now heading the agency’s overall litigation efforts, getting in just weeks before the Trump administration takes over the White House.
Jorge Tenreiro changed his title on his LinkedIn profile this month to the SEC’s chief litigation counsel, a role that has him oversee the agency’s Division of Enforcement lawsuits and the investigations that could lead to them all across the country, a role that advertised a salary of up to $305,000 a year, according to a now-closed job post.
Mark Sylvester, the former assistant director of the crypto unit, and Laura D’Allaird, the former counsel to outgoing commissioner Jaime Lizárraga, both changed their LinkedIn profiles on Dec. 2 to list themselves as the new co-chiefs of the crypto assets and cyber unit.
