Relevancy to the question raised above, aside, that's a bad article headline as it doesn't match the contents.

SEC Chair says they are going to hunt crooks more aggressively, but won't leverage dawn raids as much to chase technical violations.

The actions generally do not seem to match the words, and seem to point to a general trend of deregulation and lack of oversight (as the administration has said they would do, and especially in the crypto space has essentially stopped prosecuting crimes)

Going up-thread, here's the original claim under contention:

>> will be to not be overseen by the SEC in some important capacity.

Your articles don't dispute this.

As for whether oversight will be "weaker" and more de-regulated, maybe.

1. There's a headcount reduction. At worst, there's a quote that some really experienced watchdogs are out the door. Hard to tell until we get outcomes.

2. As for withdrawal of proposals, look closer.

> Although most observers doubted that the current Commission would adopt these proposals

Which makes it sound like the proposals were just withdrawn for later submittal and new discussion. Footnote #1 goes into how this isn't really unprecedented, citing similar withdrawals (or resets) under the Biden admin.

Sure, I am just saying the comment about "hunting crooks more aggressively" seems to run counter to their anti-regulation stance, and their active lack of hunting crooks.
