@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

So true Stephanie. You are going to send me down to another rabbit hole, this one runs deep. BTW I donât know how you do it, you are an encyclopaedia of information and thank you for all your daily posts which keep me up to date. It takes a lot of effort to be consistent like you
đŁđŁMARKET MAKER EXEMPTION Here is another MUST READ by @palikaras Market Makers are renting out their Market Participant ID code to get the exemption so they are not real lifeguards. This means all of the corrupt market manipulators are abusing the market maker exemption.

@RareDealsHere @FINRA @SECGov @joshua_t_white I recall early on when $MMTLP started trading on the OTC markets and for a couple of months thereafter, investors had to call their brokers âfixed incomeâ desk to execute a buy.

You are getting a little repetitive now (still in denial, I get it!). This isnât misdirection my Libertarian friend, itâs market structure 101. So here is my final attempt: Youâre STILL describing the transfer agentâs ledger, which tracks legal shares. I explained THAT has
@palikaras mostly just misdirection. Transfer agents reconcile the share count with each day. There can be no unreconciled imbalances, and if so called âsyntheticâ shares donât touch the primary market they canât affect a stockâs price. Thatâs why people like you never have tangible data.
