 I need to see the penalty for doing illegal activities to exceed the profits from committing the crimes that this and for the other three rules proposed. As many of the fines stand, they are at best a tax and at worst a bribe.

I would also like to see enforcement on Fail to Delivers (FTDs). Its embarrassing that retail investors have what is owned by them being so abused by Market Makers and Hedge Funds.

Thank you.

And please, do something meaningful for retail. We see that businesses and manipulate the value of companies. What gives. The country sees companies as people and what takes place would have an individual behind bars.
