Why would they ask themselves a question that they refuse to answer? Did they have to negotiate these FAQs with the SEC too?

Printing the non-answer lets them answer any future questions with "see the details that are [not] in the FAQ document."
The answer says they "regret mistakes made".

OK, I'll bite.

The response doesn't answer the question. What "mistakes" are being referenced? Who made them?

This is a yes/no question. Don't get fooled by grammar tricks, like the ambiguous voice of made or the ambiguous reference to mistakes.

The full statement (linked above) covers it better than the short quote.
It does not, but I'm not sure if that matters as your downvoted comment didn't suggest that you were referring to anything besides the bit you quoted.
