ever notice how the SEC goes for the low hanging fruit years after the fact .. BMA Fails to Close Out FTDs BMA’s Clearing Firm Properly Allocated to BMA 7. From January 2015 through at least August 2016, BMA’s clearing firm (the “Clearing Firm”) reasonably allocated FTDs to BMA. BMA was responsible for closing out such FTDs, per Rule 204. 8. In many instances, BMA simply ignored the allocated FTDs, and took no steps whatsoever to close out those FTDs. whole system is a total joke .. but appreciate the update 4kids
