As is the headline's "CEO says." This article is based on the anecdotes of a person being sued by the SEC.

CEO: "I can't believe they didn't give us a free pass even though we hired all these expensive lawyers and promised the SEC guys that we'd also give them cushy jobs in a few years. Truly the US has become hostile to world-changing innovation such as myself buying a $50 million house. Did I mention I've been selling a lot of my shares lately? I didn't? Good, don't print that."

I believe it's the CEO who is suing the SEC, not the reverse.
