Good Morning, I fully support the propposed hard closing of shorts which are violating liquidity requirements and also support the forced buy-in of any and all failure-to-deliver on shares that cannot or have not been bothered to locate the associated required share. If a locate cannot be found then the shorting cannot be allowed, selling short a share that an entity does not have and cant aquire either is nothing but theft. Its time to clean up the blatant manipulation in the market place and as a foreign I will pull my money from the US market if nothing happens. Additionally already existing rules have to be enforced. Suspend and close accounts of brokers who failure-to-deliver: Sec&Exchange Act 1934, Paragraph 17A.a.5.(C) Regards Retail Investor Germany
