That's right. In fact, a few years ago I worked briefly with a guy at my institution of higher education who was writing a doctoral thesis about how the "enforcement" mechanisms of the SEC have been designed by congress through decades of lobbyist coaching, to result in little to no enforcement whatsoever. "Investigations" are often as far as they go, and SURPRISE, "investigators" often let the in-house attorneys of suspected companies conduct the investigations themselves. HAHAHAH LOL!!!! This is not a joke. This is how the SEC works, investigations, rarely some actions! The ATTNY GENERAL Eric Holder didn't criminally prosecute a single bankster responsible for illegal derivatives trading during the 2008 financial crisis--because they were all his old friends! LOL
