October 14, 2022 I would like to thank the good people at the SEC for reopening the comments to a number of important regulatory proposals. I dearly hope that the \"technological error\" was not caused by a particularly \"trusted\" officeholder trying to delete or systematically hold back digitally submitted comments from retail investors and the wider public that could stand in utter contrast to powerful financial interests of certain Wall Street financial institutions. Recent happenings have shown that the U.S. financial system is prone to systemic fraud, market manipulation, and systematic deception by powerful players with deep pockets. The game with investors' hard-earned money has to stop. Now. Any rule that increases market transparency and prohibits fraudulent activities is more than welcome. The SEC must finally act decisively to finally resolve such obvious conflicts of interest such as a major shareholder in a market making financial institution running a hedge fund that, at the same time, profits from systematic long-term naked short-selling of stocks of American companies. Swaps of financial instruments with foreign financial institutions should be made public and Fails To Deliver (FTDs) should be made publicly available on a daily basis in a timely manner It is very high time for the SEC to agree on and to issue binding rules and to enforce said rules with independent characters to put an end to the ignominious charade that the U.S. financial market has become.
