Ray Lucia, Policy debate

In exchange for the final resolution of all claims against him, Mr. Lucia has agreed to pay a penalty of $25,000 and to drop his affirmative case against SEC.

Key Points:

In exchange for the final resolution of all claims against him, Mr. Lucia has agreed to pay a penalty of $25,000 and to drop his affirmative case against SEC.
The terms of this settlement pale in comparison to what Mr. Lucia has been put through, and it only goes to show that at the SEC the process is the punishment.
Ray Lucias heroic effort to stand up for due process and constitutional law and against retroactive regulation deserves a chapter in the annals of Administrative State David-and-Goliath stories.
Until then Ray can rest easy knowing that he did his part to right this wrongand then some.
