How can you investigate the company but not those that run it?

Also, I think I heard that ELLiot SPitzer was conducting an investigation a couple years ago.
He is a PERFECT example, for towing the admin. line if you have ANY dark secrets in your life! ( and you are a politician)

6. But who needs regulation?
Maybe we need a brand new oversight agency to oversee all the regulators. I know - Congress is supposed to do that but they're in cahoots.
