More Facebook IPO Questions - ABC News A flurry of questions about that fumbled Facebook IPO as the share price continues to tumble. Did Facebook executives urge bankers to boost the number of shares to be sold to the public? What did big banks tell select investors about negative prospects for revenue? To what extent were other investors kept in the dark? Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Shapiro says her agency will look into "issues" involving the IPO. Wall Street's self regulator, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) also plans to look into communications by Morgan Stanley to insiders.

That decision may have played a role in drop in value for Facebook shares. Prepaid cards may face new federal regulations.
