The second above source said the SEC asked questions relating to compliance, reporting and internal controls.\nRepresentatives for the SEC did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside U.S. business hours.\nWall Street’s biggest gold rush of recent years, SPACs have surged globally to a record $170 billion this year, outstripping last year’s total of $157 billion, Refinitiv data showed.\nThe boom has been fueled in part by easy monetary conditions as central banks have pumped cash into pandemic-hit economies, while the SPAC structure provides startups with an easier path to go public with less regulatory scrutiny than the traditional IPO route. But the frenzy has started to meet with greater investor skepticism, and has also caught the eye of regulators.\nThis month, the SEC warned investors against buying into SPACs based on celebrity endorsements and said it was closely watching SPAC disclosures and other “structural” SPAC issues.\nInvestors have sued eight companies that combined with SPACs in the first quarter of 2021, according to data compiled by Stanford University. Some of the lawsuits allege the SPACs and their sponsors, who reap huge pay-days once a SPAC combines with its target, hid weaknesses ahead of the transactions.\nThe SEC may be worried about the depth of due diligence SPACs perform before acquiring assets, and whether huge payouts are fully disclosed to investors, said a third source.\nAnother potential concern is the heightened risk of insider trading between when a SPAC goes public and when it announces its acquisition target, the second source added.\n“Wall Street’s biggest banks are being asked: what’s going on?” the person said.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":3878217,"gmtCreate":1616647267886,"gmtModify":1635749509132,"authorId":3565081661382277,"author":{"id":3565081661382277,"idStr":"3565081661382277","authorId":3565081661382277,"name":"Mm101","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01758aa877d9e5a9767d24de3a4e2ff1","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":358993810,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Like","text":"Like","html":"Like"},{"id":3878339,"gmtCreate":1616648298740,"gmtModify":1635749499170,"authorId":3576902230819300,"author":{"id":3576902230819300,"idStr":"3576902230819300","authorId":3576902230819300,"name":"進澕","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":358993810,"type":1,"supId":3878217,"prevId":0,"content":"👍","text":"👍","html":"👍"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":358076850,"gmtCreate":1616645754070,"gmtModify":1634524751736,"author":{"id":"3572044425484197","authorId":"3572044425484197","name":"egtan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a7ae60d50de6203ec5cee5f6e8f73a6","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3572044425484197","idStr":"3572044425484197"},"htmlText":"Wud....","listText":"Wud....","text":"Wud....","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/358076850","repostId":1159700090,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159700090","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616641576,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1159700090?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-25 11:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SEC opens inquiry into Wall Street’s blank check IPO frenzy: Reuters, citing sources","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159700090","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nThe SEC in recent days sent letters to Wall Street banks seeking information on their sp","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nThe SEC in recent days sent letters to Wall Street banks seeking information on their special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, dealings, four people with direct knowledge told Reuters...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/25/sec-opens-inquiry-into-wall-streets-blank-check-ipo-frenzy-reuters.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
