For the pimps and promoters who are spreading the rumour that Calabros' asset seizure goes straight into the SECs' pockets in an effort to convince victims Calabros' charging and subsequent asset seizure were part of some sort of Ebil Gubmint conspiracy:

From the above video:


"The C&D is "Administrative Law" (regulatory authority) - Which is a kind of Civil law. In North Carolina the Department of the Secretary of State has Special Agents with law enforcement authority who conduct the Criminal investigation. So, there is an administrative investigation and a criminal investigation. They run "parallel" to each other but are, in fact, separate and apart.
On the asset side, and important to get out there - in NC all funds that are recovered in a securities fraud investigation are usually given back to the investors if they can prove that they in fact were investors and suffered a loss. This, however, is done through the authority of a judge and usually with a receiver appointed by that judge.

In cases such as securities fraud, where identifiable victims have lost money, the government gets NOTHING."
