I will not provide my personal identity on these comments to be harassed and targeted.

Short selling entities abuse the settlement cycle and options expirations cycles to keep their bets open and avoid ever having to deliver shares. Dr. Susanne Trimbath, PhD and former DTCC employee has written at length in her book Naked, Short and Greedy (as well as on Twitter) that the DTCC and OCC are fully complicit in the schemes. Naked short selling is a crisis in the US and must be stopped by executing REAL-TIME settlement and delivery of shares. Anything short of that mark is simply a handicap for a fraudulent short-seller, and certainly not a barrier to entry.
