Reflecting on his time at the SEC, Hirsch expressed immense pride in the work accomplished by the agency’s Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit.“This past Friday was my last day with the SEC after almost 9 years. During that time I had the opportunity to work on more complex, challenging investigations and issues than I ever imagined when I joined the agency as a staff attorney in the Fort Worth Regional Office.”


Hirsch credited his success to his colleagues’ collaborative efforts and the support of mentors, leaders and partners across various regulatory and law enforcement agencies.


“I am deeply indebted to too many mentors, leaders, colleagues and friends to name here. And that includes amazing partners across state, federal and international regulators and law enforcement,” Hirsch added.
