Gentlemen: Adopt SR-NSCC-2021-801 immediately and without reservation and put it into full force so important elements of accountability, trust, fair play, ethical conduct, and sanity can be returned to the US financial system. As an investor over the last two months watching certain stocks trade under the duress of illegal ladder attacks, naked shorting, synthetic share creation, nanosecond trade delays to the benefit of market makers and hedge funds, and the utter sewer of dark pool trading, it appears that without this rule being in full force, capital flight will become a dominant theme out of the US markets. Clearly the underpinnings of the US financial system seem to be corroded and horribly skewed to stratospheric levels of corruption in favor of extremely wealthy people and their financial interests to the great loss of the average Americans on Main Street. Thank you for your time, Scott Traudt Strafford, VT
