Thomsen out at SEC, as new chair fills out team.

TPM:


The changes at the SEC continuing apace.

Days after the agency was excoriated by whistleblower Harry Markopolos, and by lawmakers, for failing to catch Bernie Madoff's alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme, CNBC reports that enforcement director Linda Thomsen -- whose department came in for perhaps the most criticism over Madoff, will likely announce her departure yesterday.

And several outlets have reported, starting over the weekend, that Thomsen's replacement will be Robert Khuzami, a former federal prosecutor who's now Deutsche Bank's top lawyer.
