You can't seriously believe that regulators have completely clean motives and actions.

I'm still getting up to date on what happened here, but corporate malfeasance isn't incompatible with aggressive and even corrupt regulation. In fact my starting place is that both are likely.

What I reject is the claim that the State only steps in and takes action if the party they're investigating has done something wrong. That's absurd.

>When, of course, if the company had any interest in making things better the regulator would never have needed to get involved in the first place.

This is ridiculous oversimplification. Can you elaborate at all on how the company has "no interest in making things better"? It's an interesting attack on the 'character' of a corporate entity, that's almost impossible to disprove.
