It has been my understanding that the SEC prioritizes their resources. It takes years, and many dollars to bring action against perpetrators. Take for example some companies that are still in the news that were suspended 1/2 a decade ago.
When the scope of the fraud is large enough to warrant the time, money, and energy, that is when civil action is pursued. From personal experience, I've seen the SEC back away when they factor the resources spent to investigate far outweigh the claim of fraud.
