SEC, US Attorneys and FBI Probing SemGroup Collapse

By John Carney

It looks like the collapse of SemGroup, the oil traders who filed for bankruptcy after losing $2.4 billion, may wind up getting prosecuted as a criminal matter. We already knew the SEC was looking into the company’s cash-flow problems. Now the Associated Press is reporting that the US Attorney’s office in Oklahoma City is bringing SemGroup executives before a grand jury. We hear the FBI has been poking around, as well.
Exactly what caused SemGroup to collapse is still something of a mystery. It’s widely believed that SemGroup had huge short positions in oil futures but the size of its losses has many speculating that there may be something more complex going on.
