Mad props to the guy on linkedin for reminding ARST CEO Paul Patrizio about his fiduciary duties and his company's shareholders:
The SEC is literally convoluting the system so much that it’s a mockery.
While they have their faults, they're not doing that. The SEC doesn't do Caveat Emptor designations; that's an OTC Markets thing. OTC Markets is not a regulator.
They stated companies had until June or September to get current, then they go on a suspension frenzy.
They didn't say that. The amendments to Rule 15c2-11 became effective on 28 December 2020:

There is what the SEC calls a transition period, lasting from the end of December 2020 till the end of September 2021. Issuers unable to comply immediately are encouraged to contact the SEC and request relief from compliance.It's always a good idea to keep the regulators in the loop.

Excerpt from link
What Is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC)?
A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) is a company with no commercial operations that is formed strictly to raise capital through an initial public offering (IPO) for the purpose of acquiring an existing company. Also known as "blank check companies," SPACs have been around for decades. In recent years, they've become more popular, attracting big-name underwriters and investors and raising a record amount of IPO money in 2019. In 2020, as of the beginning of August, more than 50 SPACs have been formed in the U.S. which have raised some $21.5 billion.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A special purpose acquisition company is formed to raise money through an initial public offering to buy another company.
At the time of their IPOs, SPACs have no existing business operations or even stated targets for acquisition.
Investors in SPACs can range from well-known private equity funds to the general public.
SPACs have two years to complete an acquisition or they must return their funds to investors.
