Quote from lescor:
Tuco's assertion was similar to what that attorney wrote, and they intended to defend themselves in court and hopefully prove that what they were doing was not a violation of the law.
However the way the sec operates is kind of like the mob. They come in to your office, freeze all activity and then start their investigation. That involves their lawyers, accountants, computer staff, various assitants etc. They all work for the government, but guess what? Tuco was getting billed for all this. To the tune of about $2100/hour. Time in court, guess who pays for the sec's lawyers and staff? Yep, the defendent.
How long can a business defend itself and make it's case when you've got a government funded mob as your adversary. The sec's goal was basically to shut it all down and just bleed every dollar from the firm. That's why Tuco quickly dediced to just wave the white flag, cave into every sec demand and try to get trader's their money as quickly as possible. There is excess capital in the master accounts, but when the protector of the traders, the sec, is sucking your money away at the rate of >$100,000 a week, it's only so long before the god damn government would be the ones taking trader's money. Oh yeah and guess who pays for the court appointed reciever?
thank you lescor, i have been waiting for this post. i am so mad right now i can hardly type.
it is exactly as i said.... the SEC is a rogue organization now. their intent was never to help protect Tuco's "client's" as they tried to portray them.
this is actually a RICO violation and there should be a class action suit against the SEC. but i am sure they are insulated from legal action.
i was told they were going to do this in fall. i guess my sources were correct. it was never about Tuco, it was always about doing the bidding of their bosses... i.e. the big players. they hate competition.
and look... everyone got scared and now you have a shitload of firms getting registered along with individuals having to take the CFR's series 7.
