I have written many times on RB that I send material to the SEC. I've sent reports about apparently fraudulent stocks to other regulators and to the FBI as well. Here is the result of one of those civic-minded reports:
I've never been compensated in any form for posting, or for my research efforts to uncover the realities of penny trash stocks. I don't believe that there are 'finder fees' being paid to citizens who report suspicious activities to the authorities. I personally wouldn't accept any even if they were available.
As you can plainly see, each of these organizations actively encourages participation by the general public. Maybe if you would consider such participation as a kind of securities 'neighborhood watch', it will make more sense to you.
By the way, g! There is no need to threaten me. If you think you know who I am, pick up the phone and call so we can have a nice chat.
