Finance industry regulation is a joke in the USA. It's largely self monitoring based! http://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?artic...

It's not the thing he/she said, it's how he/she said it.
Interestingly, Canada's financial industry is also mostly self-regulated which has always struck me as a foolish model.
It's too early to know anything for sure about the breach and certainly holding pre-made assumptions prevents a more level headed, careful analysis of the facts.
That being said, I agree that on the face of it, this is pretty damning evidence that regulations were either not in place, or were not verified to an acceptable level.
