No, but it does have all the power of the State to legally threaten and prosecute people. Do we want state agencies using their power to threaten people into silence? How does that help fulfill SEC's stated mission?
Again, how would you feel if criminal plea deals came with NDAs? Would that destruction of transparency improve the justice system? If not, why is it a good idea for the SEC to do so?
- advisedwang 4y ago> criminal plea deals came with NDAs The article says: > A nonnegotiable term of that settlement, and all SEC settlement agreements, is that Bob must never publicly profess his innocence I am comfortable with a criminal plea deal not allowing someone to say they are innocent. In fact my understanding is plea deals generally include admission of guilt (to a lesser crime).
