So we didn't find out that the SEC thought this auditor committed criminal conduct until the SEC had already negotiated this settlement where they don't have to admit any wrongdoing? Bang up job enforcing the laws there guys, that will definitely deter this kind of conduct from other bad actors in the accounting industry /s
*The article actually says "with" there, but the SEC post it links to says "without," so I'm fairly certain that was a typo in the news article
e; It really should go without saying, but since the conversations on this website have effectively reduced my whole personality to "why aren't more people talking about how this Democratic administration's handling of the federal government is falling short of what that party says they stand for," I feel like I should say I doubt we'd see even this pittance of enforcement out of a Republican government, so, yeah, I sincerely hope these pathetic losers get another four years to keep disappointing me because the alternative is still a hell of a lot worse
Gary gensler just got caught illegally trading crypto soooo. They're all good old boys breaking the law together and paying "fines" that are just the cost of doing business. The SEC is worse than useless, they're too busy watching porn to do their jobs.
The GOV: "I like money though."
I like money too.
Both the company and owner permanently barred from public accounting, and the case referred to the FBI? That’s a pretty strong response
