I am writing to express complete indifference at the SECs feigned attempts to enact "Prohibition Against Fraud, Manipulation, or Deception in Connection with Security-Based Swaps", "Prohibition against Undue Influence over Chief Compliance Officers", and to establish "Position Reporting of Large Security-Based Swap Positions". It is now widely known that the SEC is a criminally complicit, phantom regulator. It harasses and obstructs legitimate businesses with constrictive, unlawful interpretations of statute, while feigning statutory helplessness on blatant criminality committed at post-SEC career havens. The SEC will pretend to protect us through its phantom regulation, while blocking technology that could lead to actual fair and transparent markets. It will look the other way as phantom shares are traded, phantom derivatives fail to deliver, and phantom dollars fill their friend's financial statements. It will pretend to seek our feedback on these matters while having already coordinated the loopholes that its criminal partners will use. In the final stages of their crimes, the SEC will allow banks and brokerages to steal fiat directly from our bank accounts, and shares directly from our transfer agents. Sincerely, Matt Pekar Household Investor
