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?

WTC7 WAS FORMER SEC HEADQUARTERS - 4000 CASES AGAINST INVESTMENT BANKS WERE CONVENIENTLY DESTROYED
They were NOT the only news group on TV that reported WTC7 down before it happened - there were several others too (from the U.S. media). The ring masters must have been handing out the "talking points" a bit early that day.Quote from ratboy88:
LOL LOL LOL... i remember the day that BBC story broke. Youtube did all they could to "pull it." thank god people kept copying the video and re posting it. one of the biggest blunders in the last 100 yrs and the mainstream media is still mum about the whole fiasco.
reporting a building's collapse before it happens... and the sheep still follow the judas goats.
