The SEC created its own scammy ICO to teach investors a lesson

A viral site, that has had multiple news writeups, meant to educate the general public about an increasingly common scam seems exactly like the thing I want my tax dollars used on.

Its such a good example, that it has now made the front page twice on a site with people that are generally much more educated about the matter than most people. The project is not only educating the public, but was likely a lot of fun for all involved, helping to retain people in public service when salaries are already low and has people quitting in protest in droves due to the current administration.
