Yes, there are more dangerous sharks for the SEC to fry, but the SEC really gets their knickers in a knot when an SEC Registrant filer like HPMFF is delinquent in filing any Financials for 4 years.
For non-registered, non-filing OTC stocks the SEC warns that it is extreme buyer beware for investors, and to suspend a stock on questionable activities means the SEC then has to eventually take the offenders to Court, expending their stretched resources to do so.
It is much easier and it's a slam dunk to suspend delinquent filers where the SEC can just revoke their stock registrations at minimal effort and cost.
