🏁The landscape has tilted sharply AGAINST retail investors and corporate issuers. The market is moving (has moved) to nanoseconds. 1000× faster than microseconds. please read this key article: . Extract: "For exchanges with deterministic behaviours,
@palikaras This shows only 1 part of the crime but its good data. Unfortunately the SEC fines won't do anything in this situation. Again, what is the "source code" in the "order processing technology"? . High order cancelation volume doesn't just show up in bulk, daily. The order execution.

Great thread by @Stock_Cube12.
Hey @OTCMarkets @FINRA @DOGE_SEC @SECGov,. Can any of you explain how our Series A Preferred Shares, which we received as a special dividend from the $TRCH - $MMAT merger back in June 2021, shares that were given no value and were supposed to be non tradable somehow ended up

So, are retail investors and issuers "fucked"? . If we are being blunt, structurally, yes… unless we change the race TRACK itself. We should be pushing towards a future where domestic and global markets are running on blockchain-based, deterministic matching engines with

I’ve been a big Formula 1 and motor racing fan since I was 3. Anyone who follows such sports knows the rules are extremely tight, weight, engine, tires, budgets, wind tunnel time (F1 specific), everything is regulated. Pole position comes down to driver skill and car setup, with

2. Issuers. Companies trying to navigate this are stuck in a rat race too, especially during high volatility or corporate action events. They’re fighting asymmetric speed. HFT firms can anticipate, react, and front-run changes before the broader market even registers, making

🚨So Where Do Retail Investors and Issuers Fit In?. 1. Retail Investors. Retail investors/traders are LIGHTYEARS behind. They're stuck in the millisecond world, orders through standard brokers, public data feeds, and consumer-grade infrastructure. Picture a footrace versus a jet.

Wow, this isn’t ignorance it looks like selective blindness. Thank you for sharing this! Are you saying that the SEC’s own data shows TRCH/MMAT was being carpet-bombed with cancellations? This is getting ridiculous. We need to find out from PHLX and OCC who listed the TRCH.
@palikaras The timing of this post is awesome @palikaras. These trading totals are published on the SEC's own website. I pulled them today while trying to find rules requiring listing data to be documented and stored ( PHLX & OCC are both telling me neither of them know who listed TRCH

Dr. Trimbath, those are some very interesting stats and observations. You reminded me of a 2024 event. How often does the SEC quietly restructure settlements to front-load collection after they’ve been tipped by the issuer's insiders - that a bankruptcy filing is imminent⁉️
SEC only collects about half of the penalties it wins.

FINRA’s motion to quash was expected, but I have to admit it is HILARIOUS. 🤣 . Beyond the twisted lies and throwing in the kitchen sink in utter desperation in this doc… the FEARLESS “self-regulator” just sprinted past the Nevada bankruptcy court straight into D.C.’s arms. 🏃♂️💨

💡 Net Effect:.In a BROchain world, MMTLP never gets “mysteriously halted” without visible cause. MMATF trades in EU dark pools can’t bypass U.S. retail data feeds, and spoofing/synthetic share schemes FAIL at the point of trade submission rather than being detected years later.

5. Public Transparency & Immutable Evidence. The Problem Now:.•FINRA can retroactively delete data from its website (MMTLP halt notice). •Retail has no immutable proof chain for court or congressional hearings. BRO Fix:.•Public Ledger Access:.Anyone, retail, journalists,.

4. Market Maker & Broker Oversight. The Problem Now:.•MMATF/MMAT/MMTLP trades in EU venues bypassed U.S. margin rules and circuit breakers. I am sure more information will start appearing on other issuers like #GME etc.•FINRA can “request” data but doesn’t have live hooks into.

3. Synthetic Share Creation & Fails-to-Deliver. The Problem Now:.•Market makers and prime brokers can lend/short without full borrow verification, enabling phantom/synthetic shares which take months to short out. •FTD reports are delayed, aggregated, and opaque. BRO Fix:.

2. Spoofing & Layering Detection. The Problem Now:.•Layered fake bids/asks are used to move price without intent to trade. •Detection often happens post-event, and penalties are delayed or toothless. BRO Fix:.•Surveillance Smart Contracts:.Encodes anti-spoofing rules that.

In more detail: . Here’s how the BRO model, if implemented, would directly choke off the kind of structural weaknesses that let MMTLP, MMATF, and similar trades slip through EU dark pools, spoofing schemes, and synthetic share creation:. 1. Dark Pool & Cross-Border Trade.
