SEC Chairman Christopher Cox is sweeping through Gotham today, and earlier lent a few minutes to The Wall Street Journal’s Alan Murray. During the interview, Cox tackled the backdating scandal, the NYSE/Euronext merger, and the continuing impact of Sarbanes-Oxley on public issuers. Cox’s money quote, however, came while discussing the importance of strict commission enforcement. “Just as World War I was not really the war to end all wars, Enron was not the scandal to end all scandals,” he said. Kinda chilling, no?
