Legalegaltx,
From the SEC link you provided
When it serves the public interest and will protect investors, the SEC may suspend trading. For instance, the SEC may act when public information about a company is not current, accurate, or adequate. The SEC has acted when serious questions arose about a company's assets, operations, or other financial information.
So if the last published O/S is 722 million, and people invest in a stock because of that number. Shouldn't the SEC have already halted trading if the Company has dumped legitimate shares into the market and now the O/S is close to 3 billion as many here have claimed?
