I dont understand how we as the ou lic can figure these things out about naked shorting, rehypothecation, using OTM calls and Puts to hide FTDs and short positions.

These enhancements/improvements are absolutely necessary. What's currently being allowed is borderline criminal, and without proper accountability, shareholders are being placed at excessive risk.
