Anyone know what this quote means?

When the SEC called Hunsader in June 2015 to tell him about the award, he said to them "I would have accepted $1 if you simply acknowledged me at the time."

Was he initially ignored?

I was ignored by the Trading and Markets people at the SEC, but not ignored (obviously) by the Enforcement people.

I don't want to be silly but it appears the SEC ignores the siren often (Madoff is another). Is this due to sheer workload or friends in high places?
