In 2002, then New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer published
Merrill Lynch e-mails in which Blodget gave assessments about stocks which
conflicted with what was publicly published.[6] In 2003, he was charged with
civil securities fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.[7]
He agreed to a permanent ban from the securities industry and paid a $2
million fine plus a $2 million disgorgement.[2]
