Here's an interesting spin...
The latest charges and indictment of the criminal version of what the SEC already has underway sort of smells like the SEC is so determined to nail Ron and RMCP that it has followed up with this.
It could be that after putting up 9 lawyers and getting a mistrial, due to a hung jury, that they have become afraid they might just lose the case in the retrial.
On one hand, it could be a positive sign that they are losing confidence in winning in March. On the other hand, it makes you realize if the Gov't wants to squash you bad enough, they can. Unlimited funds are available to the SEC and they sure as hell don't want to lose a case like this.
