I saw this & it’s all very amusing as not many people like her much but really the SEC is ridiculous & they should be concentrating on much more serious things like Congress insider trading, central banks laundering money for terrorists.

There are many more serious things for the SEC to protect investors from. I really don’t have much respect for Gensler & the SEC, will they ever approve a bitcoin ETF?

I'm 100% with you. They should be focusing more on serious matters.

I feel good that she is getting what she deserves for using her celebrity status, power as a social media influencer, and manipulating her following through her looks to allow her fans to get scammed.

In doing so, she violated the anti-touting provision of federal securities law. So hopefully she loses some fan base because she took advantage of them and should go to jail.
