I just spoke to ETRADe again -- more info! For what it's worth, I actually had a 10 minute conversation with etrade about longs receiving questionnaires, etc. They didn't give me too much information about that specifically, but eventually referenced 3 days of unually high volume. 2 in February (the 12th and 22nd), and the third being April 18th. They told me that these days (where volume exceeded 100mm shares were noted and being looked at. Him and I then went over the 1-year chart together (upon my request), and I turned his attention to the high volume last summer, where trading 100mm-200mm shares/day was par for the course. He acknowledged this and then pointed out how there was a MAJOR volume drop in volume up until mid-January 2019. I explained to him that the ticker change -- and publishers still using RBIZ as the ticker symbol -- affected the volume in this manner and how a steady stream of company information coming out could account for the increase in volume, obviously. It seems that the high-volume on these 3 days made etrade suspicious, which is naive as can be, as far as I'm concerned.
