I've been pounding the table on this WSHE point here as one of the requirements for OTCQB, no shady stock promotion.
Companies listed here report to a U.S. regulator such as the SEC or FDIC and must follow standards to improve transparency—those who are most likely to be associated with stock promoters and other shady operators will be excluded. The fees for listing on OTCQB markets is $14,000 per annum, with a one-time application fee of $5,000.
