The concept of efficient markets is a joke and short selling of any sort should be illegal. I have no faith in FINRA, DTCC, SEC, etc. Any further participation in the US market on my end will be through directly registered securities outside the DTC. Self-regulating organizations are non-regulated organizations. The SEC/DTCC/FINRA should have zero links to market makers, banks, and hedge-funds,
