That’s misleading. All federal criminal prosecutions are done by the Department of Justice. But when it comes to prosecuting regulatory violations, it usually starts with a referral by the regulator (e.g. the SEC) who otherwise enforces that regulation. My point is about the regulatory regimes being enforced with criminal penalties, not some technicality over who does the prosecution. I’m not sure why you’re so focused on that.
