The SEC probably has about 5 employees working on ICOs, if that.

  SEC's forays into ICO world caught public attention; it wouldn't surprise me if that number suddenly increased, very soon.

    I have to agree, and it’s hard to imagine the SEC turning down a bunch of easy wins. The SEC is has internal politics just like any large group.

  I wouldn't be so sure. In the article linked they mention that J. Christopher Giancarlo, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, stated "The SEC is devoting a significant portion of its resources to the ICO market..." just a few days ago.

  There's nothing that prevents them from assigning 50 employees starting from year 2020 to mop up every ICO offered up until now. And they won't only going for the companies, but against the founders / CxOs individually - it's a poor consolation if you're not getting criminal charges because they haven't looked at your case yet, since they have quite a few years to do so.
