JWP Inc. is under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for possible securities law violations, according to bankruptcy documents filed in New York.

She said the company's Chapter 11 status freed it from any obligation to disclose the existence of the S.E.C.'s inquiry outside the bankruptcy disclosure statement.
