I found this article interesting. Does this help us? I hope it does. I think it might be a step in the right direction.

Also, toward the end of the column there's an interesting thing about income disparity.

Nice Post!

(Where's the link though? Is this the one you were referring to, below?) I'm cautiously critical about this, I'm afraid. "...The change will apply to a minority (?) of the cases..."

but it is a step, however small it may be ...it really Is the very - L e a s t - they can do.

"""The change will apply to a minority of the cases the SEC brings. The agency turns criminal matters over to the U.S. Department of Justice, as is evident from stepped-up enforcement of insider trading and other securities laws."""

Rolling Stone: Is the SEC Covering Up Wall Street Crimes? by Matt Taibbi

We'll see how this new 'm e t h o d o l o g y' works when we see who gets preferred treatment soon enough. The SEC has taken a lot of hits recently, I suspect this is all just Damage Control. A minimal consolation. But I really hope I am wrong.

"...The change will apply to a minority (?) of the cases..."

-lol- (isn't that what they were already doing? Altering methods? For a select few?)
