> The SEC simply wants to expand their regulatory power outside of what they are permitted to do and is flexing on a big player for the media attention.

No, they are not. The SEC's goal is to protect consumers and the general public, and like most other regulatory agencies, have been doing a good job at it.

I feel like there is a growing distrust in the government (at least in the US) and this is not a good thing. If you don't like what the SEC is doing, get involved in a democractic way (voting, organizing, etc.) and change it.
