"They took out tons of delinquent filers, suspended 255 dormant shell companies..."
IIRC they were doing that alphabetically, weren't they? Did they run out of alphabet? Or did they run out of low hanging fruit?
Screaming scams require some effort in the courts. Having seen a few Complaints...very few compared to others here...it seems that they get damn little for their litigation buck. I'm sure that the statistics measuring Complaints, time to investigate and prosecute versus SEC lawyer head counts would paint an ugly picture. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the sticking point. Delinquent filers and dormant shells are effortless, relatively speaking.
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
The bad captain madman had told them to stop
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat's collection of dog legs and feet.
