Sorry, that makes no sense. To rely upon that means anyone can give certs to the DTCC, and the DTCC will subsequently put those certs into the system.
The DTCC has to do the diligence to assure the certs it accepts are valid. Without that diligence, as we have seen, anyone can put invalid certs into the system. So the question remains, why did the DTCC allow bad certs into the system?
