What do you think about teachers unions wanting a SEC probe into Marc Rowan/Apollo?

[Anonymous]

It comes after the class action lawsuits related to securities fraud about Epstein and Apollo Global Management. Due to the Lifetouch scandal parents and educators became worried about Rowan and Black.

I’d separate a few layers here.

When I worked with large pension funds and university endowments, I saw this pattern:
- If a CEO or firm is tied to serious allegations (like the Epstein‑Apollo issues), fiduciaries and unions often push for extra scrutiny, both ethical and financial.
- A request for a SEC probe is partly about risk management (potential undisclosed liabilities, governance weaknesses) and partly about values (do you want educators’ pensions tied to that leadership?).

So, it’s understandable. Whether the SEC acts depends on evidence of actual securities law violations, not just reputational concerns.
