 The SEC so far appears to be complicit in the excessive market manipulation by Citadel and Virtu. The FTD's are astronomical due to counterfeit shares being issued via naked shorting,  and the SEC turns a blind eye. No enforcement in sight, and the penalties are so insignificant that it's viewed as simply a cost of doing business.  The SEC may as well not exist with the way Mr. Gensler has overseen the agency. An embarrassment to all government agencies and employees. The wealthy don't need your help. American citizens do. Wake up  smell the greed and manipulation
