To whom it may concern, Enacting this rule protects criminal naked short sellers who make bad bets. In no way does this protect retail investors and simply gives wall street firms who bet on the demise of American companies another tool to avoid obligations. It's outrageous that a rule like this is even being considered. It goes against the very concept of a free market. Enabling financial terrorists to continue the abuse of American companies is treasonous and puts the entire nation at risk. If common people understood the implications of this rule, there would be rioting in the streets. Make the right choice and put a stop to the fleecing of retail investors. Make the firms pay their obligations. If it results in the failure of these firms, the nation will be better for it. If it results in systemic failure, then the current system is built on an unstable foundation and should be replaced. The longer the abuse happens, the harder it will fall. Stop it now and reject SR-NSCC-2022-003. People are starting to shine a light on the world of wall street that has been kept in the dark by the complicit media. Change is inevitable. Be on the right side of history and do the right thing. Sincerely, Jeff Strinko, a very concerned citizen
