"They don't get pissed off. They just assess cases. Period."
Au contraire to the CONtrary, my dear Watsonville apple juice.
Companies, institutions, gubmint entities - they be all made up of peeples.
And, lemme tellya, it's really unwise to act badly to the SEC and DOJ. The PEEPLES that work there do NOTT appreciate being fed bullshit and thus being made to do more work. A really DUMB strategy is to try and swamp the SEC or DOJ in litigation with a flood of motions and discovery requests/subpoenas of witnesses and experts. And if you ~OUTT-and-~OUTT lie to these agencies/department, the PEEPLES who work there can and DEW gett very pissed and will focus on you to your detriment like a starving pit bull going after a lame rabbit.
In a different pennyscam, the main crook signed a plea agreement with the DOJ. Said plea agreement stated in plain English that he could NOTT appeal his sentence, whatever the judge decided to give him. Welp, when he was sentenced, he din't like the fact that he gott 24 months when he thought he would get probation only. He had numerous lawyers file all kinds of appeals and appeals of appeals. The woman lawyer at the local USA office who was then head of the local DOJ appellate practice had to deal with all these stupid appeals, bail requests, motions, extensions of time - all because of obviously pointless appeals of a right the criminal had clearly, in white paper and black ink, surrendered as part of his plea agreement that he signed. This wasted a LOT of her time on an utterly meritless set of appeals and appeals of appeals.
She really does nott like this dude.
Years pass. she remembers. Now, the same dude is being sued by the SEC for committing securities fraud while in prison. He's now ~OUTT of prison. She's now the head of Crim at the same local USA office. As head of Crim, she is basically the final decisionmaker on which criminal cases to file and pursue, and which to backburner or skip. Guess what she's gonna choose to do when the dude's SEC trial is over. Let him slide or indict him for every potential criminal count that she can justify with any evidence. If dude went into Yosemite with an expired park pass, she'll add that to the indictment. If he threw a gum wrapper ~OUTT of the car window when he was driving on an Interstate highway on a trip that involved at least two states, she'll add littering to the indictment. She'll add whatever she can except tax fraud - she leaves that to the IRS criminal division.
When the SEC finishes with this dude, the female lawyer who is head of crim in the local USA's office where dude resides will without any doubt at all, indict him and prosecute him criminally. She has been kept up to date on dude's criminal activities over the years and she is quite innerested and has been following dude's situation very closely.
And trussed me, when she has a grand jury indict him, she will show no mercy whatsoever. She will, rightly, seek to put Miscreant Dude away for a very, very, and I mean very long time relative to his expected remaining lifespan. She has personal history with dude and now she's the Crim shotcaller at the USA's office. Very, very badd luck for dude!!!
Because, like the SEC, the DOJ is ultimately PEEPLE. Those peeples make the DECISIONS. And those decisionmakers gett pissed off.
I counsel peeple that you can lie thru your teeth as long as you want, but never, never, NEVER lie to a Federal agency, any state or Federal court judge, or your physician. Other than those exceptions, go ahead and lie all you want.
Same with munny. Cheat and swindle anyone you want, butt never, never, NEVER cheat or swindle from the Feds. Never do that. Embezzle from your company, lie to a cop, don't pay your STATE and LOCAL taxes, swindle your local township - butt never, never, NEVER cheat the FEDS. Don't swipe a few bucks from a Federal CONtract, submit a fake expense report to get a few extra bucks from an Federal agency, make an easily provable lie to the IRS or US Treasury, or overbill the Feds for work.
I can be very aggressive on many things. Butt the one area I will nott and would nott ever be dumb enuff to do is to lie to the Feds or take money wrongly from any Fed entity. THAT kind of stuph can mess up your life for a long, long time.
There are plenny of private, non-government-related companies, individuals, and state and local government entities to swindle, cheat, embezzle, etc. from - so focus on defrauding those. Butt UnKKKle Sammy? No. THAT you would be a fool to do.
You cannot ~OUTT-litigate the Feds. You cannot "wear them down" - they are slow, butt indefatigable. You cannot ~OUTTspend them. You cannot run ~OUTT the clock with them.
And once you do gett on their radar screen and gett a bad rapp/rep, you will be institutionally remembered as a bad apple from then until you die.
And the lower level Fed agency person you piss off today may wind up high in that agency the next time around and in a position to mess you up badd.
Ultimately, it's all just peeples - even the SEC and DOJ. And pissing off people who have UnKKKle Sammy's credit card and a bunch of thugs with guns, wiretaps, and a Bureau of Prisons residential hotel chain, is really a badd idea.
Cheat the Mafia first. Leave UnKKKle Sammy alone. He's one very dangerous dude.
