Creating synthetic shares is the same as counterfeiting. Put some teeth in your fines. Right now, the fines are so small, it's just a cost of doing business to these big companies. Do better at investigating naked shorting and up the fines. All shorting, no matter what exchange, should be reported and made public. Get rid of dark pools. And for pete's sake, it's 2021. Why isn'

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.
