Naked shorting is illegal.- Conditions need to be met by regulatory agencies to ensure it doesn't happen including federal sentences for those caught selling naked shorts. If I can’t sell you a car I don’t own than it should be just as illegal to sell shares that don;t exist. Short positions need to be reported daily by funds and market makers, and public notice needs to be reported daily on

Need better eyes on massive shorted stocks regulations blocking naked shares and a sec representative mandatory at every hedge fund Corporation. From what I'm seeing you guys are either paid off or don't know what the [REDACTED] you're looking for. Billions of dollars being stolen from retail investors for more years than you can count on your fingers and nobody has done squat to
Hello - thank you for addressing this and making it a priority. I am primarily invested in AMC but also have shares in other shorted stocks like GME and NAKD. The pricing is being manipulated by market makers and hedge funds in and out of dark pools.
