PANews reported on March 24th that, according to Cointelegraph, Margaret Ryan, former head of the enforcement division of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), abruptly resigned on March 16th. Reports indicate that she had disagreements with SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and other senior officials regarding the handling of cases involving Trump. Ryan wanted to advance fraud and other charges in cases involving crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, but faced resistance. Earlier this month, the SEC settled its lawsuit against Justin Sun and three of his companies for $10 million; Sun's side neither admitted nor denied the charges. The SEC and Musk jointly filed a document on March 17th stating they were negotiating a settlement. Ryan's departure after only six months in office was not disclosed by the SEC.
