Nicholas Morvan Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

Hello, I would like to see more transparency and effective regulation (and enforcement) on Short Sale Reporting. As a retail investor, my confidence in our American stock market is very low and leaves me feeling cheated due to these "behind the scenes" loop holes that large corporations and institutions can utilize to benefit themselves through bending the rules through clever exploits and loopholes.

1) The current fines for illegal behavior is an absolute joke. If a HF gains $500 mil illegally and is only fined $250,000 that’s a joke of a fine. The fine should be equal to the amount that was illegally gained and possibly include jail time. Currently, its equivalent to a person robbing a bank for $100 mil and only getting a $5,000 fine and keeping the rest. Absurd! 2) Self reporting is an absolute joke as well. Good luck getting accurate numbers with that! Certain hedge funds have proven they will manipulate the numbers to their benefit.

Not very much to say but that this criminal activity that majority of the short sellers partake in needs to stop. The manipulate activities, the scamming to overpower the retail investors, the use of dark pool activity to manipulate the regular market is absurd. The sec, finra, and other regulators that let these criminal activities continue to go on this long is wicked. So yes I think something need to change to level this field as much as possible

Current total short interest updated no less than once per day. Short position averages as well as amounts sorted by length held. Ie: 400k shorted shares still uncovered/ current position lifespan 24 days. Total disclosure of what exactly is being pushed through dark pools. It's on par with financial terrorism, fraud, theft, and the like. Absolutely disgusting how our regulators sit back and let companies like Citadel get away with monetary murder. How in the [REDACTED] do you even allow such a conflict of interest to happen?
