October 22, 2022 Dear SEC, Thank you for reopening comment periods for several rule-making releases, such as case S7-18-21, to which this comment refers. As a payer of U.S. federal income tax, I support any SEC rule-making and rule enforcement activity that has the potential to effectively prohibit against fraud, market manipulation, or deception in connection with swaps and swap-based financial products. I am 100% certain, that the 'technological error in receiving certain comments' that has contributed to the SEC leadership's motivation to reopen certain comment periods has absolutely nothing to do with former Ombudsman Tracey L. McNeil who, firstly, according to a report of the Office of the Inspector General, fraudulently misreported facts to CONGRESS, secondly, didnt log HUNDREDS of entries into the SEC's tip program and thirdly, LEFT the SEC in April 2022. The SEC OMBUDSMAN In order for investors to continue having trust in the U.S. financial market and its regulators, it is of utmost importance that there finally be put an end to ubiquitous fraud, market manipulation, and deception in what has become a farcical play rather than a fair and transparent financial market. I therefore wholeheartedly support any action and any rule that effectively prohibits fraud, market manipulation, or deception. Sincereley, Terry McLeod, a very concerned retail investor in ETFs, stocks, and mutual funds
