This week has been a good week for the SEC, mostly in the sense that they aren’t the IRS (please don’t audit me). But it hasn’t been a good week for the millions of entrepreneurs and investors still waiting for the SEC to finalize the rules for the securities-based crowdfunding established by last year’s JOBS act.  Every day that goes by without rules means more businesses without needed funding, more investors without meaningful investment opportunities, and greater uncertainty about whether…
