Where's the oversight from the SEC?

Yes, the SEC has handwaved it out of being a security.That doesn’t change facts, they simply aren’t going to do anything about it.

The SEC would _definitely_ have some questions for you in the scenario.

This statement seems like a big ball of nothing. Basically the SEC is aware of what's happening (how could they not be?) and maybe they'll do something about it or maybe they'll decide that it's all within the law.

The SEC disagrees. https://www.sec.gov/spotlight/cybersecurity-enforcement-acti...

This is a false dilemmaAccountability and deterrence doesn’t have to come from the SECThe SEC contains people passionate about this, but that doesn't mean they are the specific authority eligibleThe FTC exists too, they are aware of their capabilities in the crypto space. They have circulars since 2017 as well.There is also Congress. Agency deference is dead anyway.

This has to violate some SEC rule.
