The discussion argues that Sarbanes-Oxley has damaged the U.S. high-tech sector and driven capital to London by imposing excessive reporting costs and personal liability on CEOs. The act is characterized as a "knee-jerk reaction" to the Enron and MCI scandals that has ultimately hurt the American economy.
