It is a bit weird the tweet went out exactly a day before the approval is supposed to happen.

Let's assume it was the SEC's fault, either by accident or otherwise, could they be charged with market manipulation? Which agency would have authority to investigate? Quite a few people were tricked into buying right before the price dropped like a rock. Shorters have made a killing.

I never hear anybody talk about it, but we do specifically have a court of federal claims, whose jurisdiction covers losses tied to government actions

check out recent decisions to see if anything could apply here

nothing happens to the agency itself, theyre immune
