Prosecution for factually lying (e.g. "providing false numbers to audits") is much easier than prosecution for intentionally lying (i.e. fraud).

Do you believe they'll have trouble building a case against SBF & friends?

I took the comments to mean they wanted something to stop this from occurring, and I don't think that works well, criminals are going to do what criminals do. You can prosecute afterwards, but you can't easily stop them before they do it, see Theranos, WireCard, Nikola etc etc.
