"There's a lot of suspicion that your presumption isn't accurate"

If this is the case, the only people that should be worried about it are the shareholders and the other people that own the company.

If I was running a company and I had more money to spare (because I couldn't pay the CEO past a certain amount of money), I'm not just going to pay a worker because it sounds nice. Workers should be paid based on market value and the value they bring to the company.

And the SEC is responsible for improving company/shareholder relationships, so this falls under their directorate.
