Mach - why would the SEC set up a designated telephone hotline and a dedicated enforcement e-mail address under your theory?
IMO it is Dr. Norman V. Peal (of "power of positive thinking" fame) run amok!
NO offense intended, but CMKX (MLON & others) are like bugs under the federal government's magnifying glass. SEC's reach & its memory are verrrrrrrrrrrrrry long (& the various admin. agencies (IRS, etc.) do cooperate & share info).
You did ask for opinions... mine is that this trading halt ain't good news in any way, shape, or form.
Good luck,
