Katz Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth ST. NW, Washington, DC 20549 FM: James E. Currie Concerned Investor 273 James Dr. Winter Garden, Fl. 34787 Dear Sir, It is with great interest that I deplore you to with speed bring integrity and fair play back to the Marketplace. That this illegal activity has run amock for so long and with untold billions of loses to Companies, Stockholders, and the IRS must cease and now not later. There is no good reason for this criminal and terrorist activity to exist for one moment more. There are efforts on many fronts having success in destroying all the great and wonderful ethics We stand for. It is now time to close this loophole that has allowed enemies of our Marketplace to prosper. Respectfully Submitted JE Currie Permission to copy and send to SEC approved.
