To whom it may concern: I would like to know if there are plans to repair the fines in regards to short interest reporting, naked shorts and dark pool trading? I think that naked shorts should be fined based on the quantity of fake shares multiplied by the price of the share in question. So for 5 million fake shares at say $25 per share would result in a $125 million fine. This is a fair way,
Dear FINRA Staff, It seems to me that Citadel (including some of its subsidiaries) is taking advantage of its status as a market maker and at the same time as a hedge fund with exceptionally high short interest in AMC (and also in Gamestop).
