It is strange that there is always 'new' regulations but how about ENFORCING the current regulations? Citadel, for one, keeps shorting stock with phantom shares.

The revelations of opacity around short selling, trade settlement, and unlit off-exchange trading is deeply troubling and an abomination to the ideals of free and transparent capital markets. The delay and self reporting of short interest, coupled with lack of meaningful deterrents like imprisonment or material fines (fining Robinhood $70 million for their role in the January Gamestop shenanigans
