This proposed rule SR-NSCC-2022-003 is in direct conflict and opposition to the stated core purposes of the SEC. From: https://www.sec.gov/about.shtml The mission of the SEC is to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation. The SEC strives to promote a market environment that is worthy of the public's trust. If this rule is adopted, there will be literally no recourse to the illegal naked shorting of stocks. These counterfeit shares are DEVALUING and DESTROYING entire companies and market sectors. How can the SEC even pretend to protect investors when proposals like these are considered? TURN OFF DARK POOLS IMMEDIATELY. END NAKED SHORTING OF STOCKS. PROTECT INVESTORS. To the SEC and specifically Gary Gensler, you are WAY past your first few weeks. We have seen your interviews, we have heard your words. WITHOUT ACTION, YOU ARE COMPLICIT IN CRIMES AGAINST INVESTORS. DO YOUR JOB, PROTECT US.
