When a crime is committed, why is it that our regulating bodies find the conviction only worthy of warranting a fine that is a fraction of the overall profit made in the crime itself? Why do the convicts continue to operate with the ability to take such actions again? How can we put faith in any institution knowing the reason to avoid delving deeper into the greedy pool has been watered down by our very own representatives?
I implore the SEC to increase the impact of this ruling to account for the losses of each individual retail investor to a more accurate tune. The restriction to trade is a clear violation and yet we are showing a violation is just a slap on the wrist long term. Compare earnings at its peak and showcase the potential losses with more confidence in retail behavior rather than assume our trades are meaningless and pennies on the dollar compared to the entire scheme created by naked short selling.
Please consider my request. Thank you
