1. Do you have one or more online trading or investment accounts? Yes, I have one or more accounts that I access online using a computer. 2. If your response to Question 1 is Yes, do you think you would trade or invest if you could not do so online using a computer or using a mobile app? Yes 3. On average, how often do you access your online account? Daily/more than once a day 4. On average, how often are trades made in your online account, whether by you or someone else? Once to a few times per month. 5. If you access your account online, did you have the account first, and only began to access it electronically later? Or did you open the account with the idea that you would access it electronically immediately? I had a pre-existing account and downloaded an app or visited a website to access my account 6. My goals for trading or investing in my online account are (check all that apply): Save and grow my money for medium- to long-term goals 7. What would you like us to know about your experience with the features of your online trading or investment platform? (Examples of features are: social networking tools games, streaks, or contests with prizes points, badges, and leaderboards notifications celebrations for trading visual cues, like changing colors ideas presented at order placement or other curated lists or features subscription and membership tiers or chatbots.) Pretty much all crypto exchanges and companies are scams or will scam you if you have a chance except for Bitcoin and Ethereum. FTX.com and FTX.us to include Sam Bankman Fried paid me 1 Bitcoin to not sue him for his involvement with the 100 Million dollar SAFE Token Cover Protocol theft. I lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits, while Sam, and FTX walked away with millions. I filed complaints with the SEC but no one at the SEC really cares about the theft or the fraud. I recently lost over 2 million dollars in profits with the Elrond EGLD token when they made money upfront off early investors like me then switched from the Ethereum blockchain to the Binance Blockchain and left all of the ERD Elrond token investors in the dust. One day the ERD tokens were worth something, and then one day they were worth nothing without allowing for any migration to the EGLD token which is now worth over $221 each. I had 10,000 ERD which Elrond claimed were their flagship token, but with no migration or snapshot to make the transfer, all of the ERD Elrond early investors were left with worthless tokens. You can't even find any search records of the ERD tokens Elrond sold at places like coinmarketcap.com or coingecko.commmm. All of the records have been destroyed which is illegal. I filed a demand demand letter (email) with the legal@elrond.com but I will most likely have to go to court to get them to send me 10,000 EGLD tokens. My name is David Mastrianni and my email address is dcmastrianni@gmail.com I wish above all things that the SEC would make it easier to get help from all the theft and fraud by being able to get an SEC investigator and an attorney to help me. I am a 100% disabled Marine Corps and Army veteran. I am 63 years old. 8. If you were trading or investing prior to using an online account, how have your investing and trading behaviors changed since you started using your online account? (For example, the amount of money you have invested, your interest in learning about investing and saving for retirement, the amount of time you have spent trading, your knowledge of financial products, the number of trades you have made, the amount of money you have made in trading, your knowledge of the markets, the number of different types of financial products you have traded, or your use of margin.) I don't understand why so many crypto companies and exchanges are being allowed to steal from Americans and the elderly. 9. How much experience do you have trading or investing in the following products (None, 12 months, 1-2 years, 2-5 years, 5+ years): Stocks : Less Than 12 Months Bonds : None Options : None Mutual Funds : None ETFs : None Futures : None Cryptocurrencies : 1-2 Years Commodities : None ClosedEnd Funds : None Money Market Funds : None Variable Insurance Products : None Business Development Companies : None Unit Investment Trusts : None 10. What is your understanding, if any, of the circumstances under which trading or investing in your account can be suspended or restricted? Crypto exchanes and companies pretty much do what they want. Is the SEC aware of the Uniswap Liquidity pools that allows thieves to fund a pool on a worthless token where you think you made over a million dollars but you can't sell it or cash in your profits? Uniswap is aware of this and allows for millions of investors to have their funds stolen in this manner. 11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing? Horrible experience. Especially with the 100 million dollar SAFE Token Cover Protocol investor theft were Sam Bankman Fried was an advisor. As I stated I lost 100's of thousand in SAFE token profits because of the rug-pull theft, I was able to settle for 1 Bitcoin, but was really bothers me is that the only way Sam Bankman Fried and FTX would settle is if they controlled the settlement narative wherein the FTX lawyer had me sign an employment contract for 30 days, instead of a settlement NDA, paid me my 1 Bitcoin, then never hired me to do anything within the 30 days. All manipulation, the kind of manipulation found with the https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=311043ba-6e8b7aa5-3110a70c-8630ffab37ab-12b7a49ac61c06a3&q=1&e=39dfacea-8eed-4cc8-aa72-3750be6b0397&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ftxlawsuit.com%2F which is a legitimit lawsuit that was settled out of court with the plaintiff but FTX and Sam Bankman Fried once again controlled the lawsuit settlement narrative, paid the plaintiff out of court, then published post that stated the lawsuit was frivolous and thrown out of court which it was not. FTX and Sam Bankman Fried is and was invo lved in money laundering, theft, fraud, and violations of federal and state laws. As afr as the Cover protocol 100 million dollar theft goes, they never listed their real names on any of the projects. I asked Sam and his lawyer Dan to give me the Cover protocol team contact information which he has, but they refused. Every crypto company should be mandated by the SEC to list their real names and contact information so people like me can take them to court. Not even Elrond.com list where their corporate office is.Horrible experience. Especially with the 100 million dollar SAFE Token Cover Protocol investor theft were Sam Bankman Fried was an advisor.
