In my first contact with an sec employee on SFLM, it was an actual conversation and she did tell me a CEO does not have to communicate. It's not required. She did see the $25k fine had been paid but did not see anything about a 5 year ban. I still think if such an action did really occur there'd have to be a record of it somewhere with a from and to date but nobody from the SEC can provide that. Maybe the $25k paid fine avoided the implementation.
