The Citadel case against SEC audit trail funding exposes a critical flaw in bureaucratic overreach. The SEC’s Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) aimed to vacuum up granular trading data, including personally identifiable information, under the guise of market surveillance. Citadel’s challenge forced the SEC to backtrack, exempting PII reporting—a win for financial privacy. This aligns with the Saving Privacy Act (S. 809), which seeks to curb invasive data collection by agencies.

While transparency matters, CAT’s original design prioritized surveillance over security, risking misuse of sensitive investor data. Taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for bloated systems that compromise privacy.

The ruling reinforces accountability: agencies can’t mandate unchecked data grabs without clear congressional authority.
