Please take in to consideration that US financial markets are considered the most diverse, accessible, open, free and fair markets in the world. Reasons why so many citizens and foreigners actively and passively participate in them. Eroding these values will only hurt the fragile system. This rule is unnecessary since there are systems in place that make the rule redundant at best. The consequences in providing an individual, that has conflicting interests, so much authority could be incredibly damaging to participants and your exchange. Please align your exchange with the values that our great republic were built upon.
