Sioux, I agree with you

The SEC does not want to act. They will accept a report of fraud and say thank you with a smile on their face telling you they will act to stomp out fraud. Then they'll just put it in the proverbial circular file.

I work with the city on some animal projects and they are the same way. A friend of mine ran for office and won. This is what her colleagues told her to do. NOTHING! They told her to do nothing so she will be accepted. Then maybe after six months she will be ignored then maybe, just maybe, she can work on a project to help the animal problems over here if she's quiet about it. They asked me to run to fill another vacant seat and I said NO WAY! I can do more good from the private sector though I will stay on the committee.

We meet with city officials to discuss ways to help the animal situation. The meetings are their idea. They ask all the rescue groups to show up. We all come up with good ideas. They write the ideas on big poster paper on the walls. Then they said they can only do ideas that cost no money or manpower. So, we come up with free ideas. Then they say they must review and approve them. I took the official aside and said after you review and approve them will you help implement them? She said no. Then I said why the heck do I need your approval if I have to do it all myself? She said we don't need her approval. I said then what's the point of this group meeting? No response.

Here is the point of that meeting. They were told to look like they're doing something to deal with the high euthanasia rate but don't actually do anything. I snuck in to the officials meetings with their boss. They said the meetings were successful and that the groups were going to implement a free educational program. We did not say that at all! We asked them to give back part of the budget they gave away to a pet project which was not successful and supposed to be funded externally. This is what government is like. This is why I'm doing the animal projects myself.
