[ by Melanie Gretchen ] Your firm has just settled with the SEC over alleged insider trading violations - an unlikely scenario, but one that helps to illustrate this story.  Did you know that you can pay with a debit or credit card? The Pay.gov website allows remitters to make secure payments electronically to the SEC.  Payments can be paid directly from a bank account or by credit/debit card using Pay.gov.  [C-I Note: Just one of the ways the U.S. government tries to simplify your life.] Unlike PayPal, where users need to set up an account toward making a specific business transaction, the SEC website, Pay.gov, can be widely used to make payments to federal government agencies, including debt, student loan, FOIA and Certification fees and, of course, disgorgement and civil penalties.

Note: This last option is only available to debtors where the judgment/order instructs them to remit payment to the SEC.  Payments directed to the Courts or other 3rd party entities cannot be accepted through this payment portal.

And, it's open 24/7, which offers the payer the opportunity to benefit from the week-end float. NOT BAD! For further details, go to: [Pay.gov].  You'll be glad you did.
