And by implication that sends a message to all the doubters that bitcoin is *NOT* a ponzi scheme!

Very big news.

You clearly do not understand FUD.
By association it can be interpreted exactly opposite - it was a ponzi all along, now confirmed by the SEC.

I can see your point, but I think the stronger message is that the SEC press release mentions bitcoin as if it is somewhat normal and that the Ponzi scheme is the exception. If bitcoin itself was the Ponzi scheme why would they pay attention to this guy when there are registered exchanges operating in the US they could go after?
