They would, but do you notice the SEC tends to leave the big houses alone and worry about small fry.

No, this is not the case. The violations among the small fry tend to be more glaringly obvious and, therefore, more newsworthy. Usually, the big houses have a toe over the line, earning them a reprimand and a penalty; when the small fry get into trouble, the whole house is over the line.

I remember all too well instances in which big houses were stomped by the SEC because of an inadvertent slip by an analyst of investment banking information. They do not normally receive publicity; the analyst simply disappears.
