This article starts off with an ambiguous premise. The SEC Enforcement Division asking about Mt Gox in early 2013 has nothing to do with Mt Gox being in securities trouble. It more likely means the SEC was following funds in a bitcoin transaction that were deposited or transferred to that exchange. Or fiat transferred by an investor following a securities promoter’s instruction on how to invest via bitcoin. The article then switches to other issues about Mt Gox that also never involve the SEC or securities issues again. There is a pervasive meme amongst cryptocurrency enthusiasts of the SEC being an all encompassing police. It is weird and counterproductive.
