"The issue of SIPC's responsibility to adequately insure investors against fraud will also surely come into question. As created by Congress through the SIPA ACT of 1970, SIPC's mission is to provide adequate insurance to investors in the form of cash or securities refunds in the event of fraud, with the money to be disbursed to victims in a timely manner."

Thus far, that is not happening. They are appealing to Congress to intervene on their behalf.
