I assure you, investment professionals have to abide by significantly more strict legal and ethical rules than 99% of the industries out there. Don't watch one or two videos about one/two person/firm and assume this is everyone in the investment industry. If doctors had to live by same rules as investors, 75% would lose their jobs and 50% would be in prison. Same goes for politicians.

When the Gov't indicted Steve Cohen, he contacted several law firms and had no less than 10 of the top lawyers show up in court. He was determined to show the US Govt that if they wanted to try to bring him down - - it was going to be the most expensive legal case they ever encountered. Instead, the Gov't choked out, they cowarded out, they settled for a huge chunk of his fortune instead of prison time. So, Steve Cohen walked. At least 2 of his underlings did prison time.

We need to change the law that allows for willful negligence that Cohen claimed - after 30 + years in the business does not know the law re. insider trading. An act of Congress has to change the law. But since Congress is paid off by these people guess what... we need to stop letting lobbyists pay off our politicians. We have a totally corrupt system no matter who is in, Dems or Repubs. Some might be ok, but they are in the minority.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

The SEC as a civil agency will never stop it. Even with Cohen where they shut him down and he paid a gigantic fine he still made more than what he paid. He reopened and the fund manages way more than it did before being shut down. When your punishment is fines it’s simply a cost of doing business.

I have always found it mind boggling that white collar criminals can make $200 million off their crimes and only pay a fine less than the amount they made. I suppose that's how it goes when these criminals have the funds to lobby for certain laws to not be changed. I have always held the notion that if you decide to be a criminal, be a white collar criminal because it's fairly obvious that the sentencing and the fines for white collar crimes are far more lenient than any other type of crime (generally speaking).
