Disagree. I would rather the delay than the SEC going on a fishing expedition and being unable to make the charges stick and undermining its own credibility in the process.This is a very high-profile target and my [i]hope[/i] is that SEC investigators are taking a 'measure twice, cut once' approach.

Agreed, I think anybody that has watched the history of major banks and their political chums for the past oh, 200 years or so, knows that this will amount to a slap on the hand, much less than they gained through their various activities of the sort, and will prove to be little deterrence or punishment.
