You (SI) created the Venue. The responsibility cannot be passed to SEC so easily. It would be an interesting Court Case. It needs to be challenged by a smart attorney

INDEX FILE & Temporary Cache Cookie Deleting If you’re using Internet Explorer 5, there’s an easy way to eliminate all traces of cookies and delete everything in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Four simple steps are required; a hand-holding description of what happens is provided below. At the end of the note you will find the four steps without the details. First, restart your computer in MS DOS mode: Click on “Start” Click on “Shut Down” Click on “Restart in MS DOS Mode” After the computer restarts and completes all its actions, you’ll see the following prompt: C:\WINDOWS> If you want to know what files are stored in the “Cookies” folder, enter the following command (without the quotation marks): “dir cookies” Next, type the following command to eliminate all traces of cookies: “deltree cookies” You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the folder and all its subdirectories. Press “y” and then the “Enter” key. This action eliminates the entire Cookies folder and any files it contains, including the “Index.dat” file that is stored there. As anyone who is familiar with DOS knows, the “deltree” command is used to DELete TREEs (i.e., folders and everything in them). You cannot perform this action while Windows is running because files are still considered in use and Windows will not allow any action to be taken on them under that circumstance. In a DOS window, you can enter the command and go through the same confirmation step, but nothing will be deleted and you won’t see any message advising you that no action occurred. After restarting the computer in MS DOS mode, Windows is not operating and you may delete folders and files. You can verify that the “Cookies” folder was eliminated by entering the command: “dir cookies” You will see a “File not found” message. If you also want to eliminate everything in the “Temporary Internet Files” folder, enter the following command: “deltree tempor~1" Once again, you’ll be asked to confirm the operation. “Tempor~1 is” the 8-character folder name your computer uses for your “Temporary Internet Files”. Next, type “exit” at the prompt to return to Windows. I regularly purge my files this way and have had no problems. When Windows restarts, it (or IE5) will recognize that the folders do not exist. They will be re-generated as when the software was initially loaded on the computer. All traces of anything that has been stored as a result of Internet activity will be eliminated. Just The Steps 1 - Restart in MS DOS Mode 2 - Enter the command “deltree cookies” and confirm 3 - Enter the command “deltree tempor~1" and confirm 4 - Enter the command “Exit”
