SEC judge who took on the 'Big Four' known for bold moves

Cameron Elliot, the U.S. administrative judge who recently delivered a stunning rebuke to the global "Big Four" accounting firms, has a reputation for not shying away from big cases. When he was a federal prosecutor, Elliot was known for being deliberate, unflappable and for going after powerful interests, including violent gang members and the activist group Greenpeace. Now, more than a decade later, Elliot is making waves as an administrative law judge for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Critics say the internal court system gives the SEC a home-court advantage.
