As a former complex product supervisor for one of the largest broker-dealers in the nation and which is probably the highest producing structured product firm, I would like to make some comments on the practices employed by them and in the industry by general.

I have traded in this market for DECADES and it has come to my attention since being out of work how much naked shorts, market manipulation and price spoofing and lastly killing any signs of a increased stock like AMC its criminal. Ive alerted my attorney and am very unhappy . Im sure the institutions are doing what they need to protect itself but myself and others have came in the middle of a

They would leave the market as a much more transparent way to invest as there would be less reliance on rumour surrounding primarily short interest and synthetic shares.

The current state the US market is full of fraud and manipulation. There is definitely a need for change. It’s a massive conflict of interest when a company is a hedge fund and a market maker!!

The use of dark pools as a tool for price suppression is overwhelmingly clear. Market manipulation is actively taking place and the free reign of large organizations to process transactions off-exchange is essentially cheating the system.
