Ripple CLO Slams US SEC For Boasting About Fines Collection

Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty reacted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) post on X about collecting record fines in the history of the agency.

Stuart Alderoty lambasted the US SEC for bragging about record fines collection. He compared it with a professor boasting about their highest-ever class failure rate and the most cheating scandals.

Furthermore, Stuart Alderoty added that the SEC’s oversight has gone wrong, driven by perverse incentives. Notably, the agency has also failed to provide clarity to the crypto community about rules and regulations. “It’s not a measure of success,” he added.

“We announced that the SEC filed 583 total enforcement actions in fiscal year 2024 while obtaining orders for $8.2 billion in financial remedies, the highest amount in SEC history, said the US SEC.

The government agency also boasted about the success of the Division of Enforcement under SEC Chair Gary Gensler. It claims the enforcement division has helped promote the integrity of capital markets to benefit investors.

However, investors claimed the agency has harmed investors more and Gary Gensler is the least effective SEC Chairman in American history.
