U.S. Federal Jurisdictions:

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - The SEC

THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC): 

The world of investing is fascinating, complex, and can be very fruitful. But unlike the banking world, where deposits are guaranteed by the federal government, stocks, bonds and other securities can lose value. There are no guarantees. That's why investing should not be a spectator sport; indeed, the principal way for investors to protect the money they put into the securities markets is to do research and ask questions ... http://www.sec.gov/about/whatwedo.shtml

The Division of Enforcement investigates possible violations of securities laws, recommends Commission action when appropriate, either in a federal court or before an administrative law judge, and negotiates settlements on behalf of the Commission. 

While the SEC has civil enforcement authority only, it works closely with various criminal law enforcement agencies throughout the country to develop and bring criminal cases when the misconduct warrants more severe action ... http://www.sec.gov/about/whatwedo.shtml

When a State Securities Commission investigation leads to an indictment, due process falls under the jurisdiction of the SEC.
