The Martin Act, New York General Business Law article 23-A, sections 352–353,[1] [2] is a 1921 piece of legislation in New York that gives extraordinary powers and discretion to an attorney general fighting financial fraud. The act's powers exceed those given any regulator in any other U.S. state.[3]
