They do exist and its also an unfair practice. Fines should exceed the amount of fraud or manipulation. Small slaps on the wrist do absolutely nothing. A 10 million dollar fine on manipulation that made a financial institution 80 million dollars
The staff granted an exemption from FINRA Rule 5130 with respect to purchases of “new issues” by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
Hi FINRA, what were seeing in the stock market is unprecedented. 71 percent dark pool volume for AMC from the same people that have a short interest. This is unacceptable in any “free and fair market”. Short selling is a cancer on the back of the US financial system and has adverse effects on the rest of the world.

My brokerage firm provides me education, transparency and a risk disclosure

Dear FINRA- I am opposed to any regulation which doesn't allow me access to the same investment vehicles as the powerful, rich and well-healed of this planet.
