Tbf they were actually fined for misleading investors on crypto-related sales in particular, for the previous GPU run, but the consequences were not really even a slap on the wrist comparatively, so the severity is far from a guarantee even if proven. So yes, they can & have demonstrated that they will mislead investors so long as they can chalk it up as just a cost of doing business where overall they profit massively from deception. Have yet to find cases of "severe consequences" being meted out rather than it just being a reduction in gain (not even a loss!) as a result, you can also see this happen all the time with banks & money laundering for example.
