No documented enforcement against David P. Joyce

David P. Joyce has 2 documented facts referencing violations, fines, settlements, or fraud, but no connection in the platform's graph documents an enforcement action, prosecution, sanction, or consent decree against them. This may indicate the platform's data is incomplete — or it may indicate a real enforcement gap. Either way, it's worth a closer look.

Joyce had 136 STOCK Act violations as of early 2024 — the second-most among House Ethics Committee members. One violation involved a sale of Boeing stock made more than a year before its disclosure. Four of the ten House Ethics Committee members, including Joyce, were found to have violated the very STOCK Act they are tasked with enforcing.
