I am in support of SR-NSCC-2021-801.
Shorts should be accountable for their actions and shareholders should be paid the true value of their shares.
I would consider the artificial lowering of the value of the stock via naked shorting, ladder attacks, dark pool trading, coordinated shorting of the russel 2000, mainstream media lies etc etc etc to be highly manipulative. These actions have already unfairly cheated a lot of investors out of money. In my opinion this fraudulent behaviour is the same as robbery.
This should not have been allowed in the first place and may have a huge knock on effects to the economy when shareholders are paid the true value of their shares (as Im now convinced the SEC already knows).
Trust in the regulation of the stock market is at all time lows. 2008 ruined many lives and unfairly indebted all US citizens. This should never be allowed to happen again.
