You are welcome, but I'm not alone in this. I give credit to a PM sent to me with a link to that letter by Mark Basile. (I've seen the referenced letter by Hamilton before.)
I also thank you and other recent 'returnees' for your added 'keen eyes' that have found interesting things. T53 is also our first-rate aggregator (plus researcher) of all that we've collectively found so far.
Unfortunately, I still think that we're more like astrologers than astronomers, tempted to overlay interpretive stories over facts that we can see because we can't see all the details that prove what is or will be true (i.e., to allow for an accurate prediction).
In 2021, Basile and Hamilton submitted their comment letters to the SEC about Rule 144 changes. What I don't know yet (or maybe I've already forgotten it if I read it) is whether those Rule 144 changes have been made, and if so, whether they incorporate the comments by those like Basile and Hamilton.
Also, so far, there's been no expert feedback on the legalities underlying the appearance of that unsolicited 'bid' showing in Schwab and Interactive Brokers. "We don't know what's going on" is not a very satisfying -- or believable -- answer from Schwab.
