The SEC's enforcement director — the person responsible for policing Wall Street — resigned after being blocked from pursuing investigations into suspicious trading activity.
Reuters reported exclusively that the ex-enforcement chief "clashed with bosses before leaving." The conflicts centered on which investigations to pursue and which to quietly drop.

When the head of enforcement at the Securities and Exchange Commission quits because they're not allowed to enforce — the regulatory system is not broken. It's working exactly as designed, just not for you.
