Sox: I believe what I said was "the regulators are protecting the MM's".
We no doubt are far apart on what constitutes protection but from my point of view the following clearly qualifies as being protected.
"In all, Finra identified 3,616 violations of Regulation SHO at KCG over the four-year period. The disciplinary action included “a censure,” a fine totaling $105,000, and the mandating of a written process to ensure future compliance with Regulation SHO within 60 days.
Oddly, it fell to Finra, an independent agency unrelated to the government, to enforce Regulation SHO — not the SEC, which implemented the rule and has oversight responsibility. Routine failures to deliver are supposed to lead to fines by the SEC, or even a ban from the securities markets. DiIorio has attempted to get the SEC interested in his claims for five years, to no avail. “The SEC outsourced this to Finra,” he said.
KCG did not announce the Finra settlement with a press release. Its most recent trading volume statement, for October, shows that the vast majority of its shares traded continue to be in the primary penny stock market exchanges, OTC Bulletin Board and OTC Market. Sophie Sohn, a spokesperson for KCG, said the company had no comment on the settlement.
This does not constitute punishment to me and is yet another example of the fraud and corruption in our markets.
Go IPIX!!!
