you may have a point there actually, that has not previously been considered. when you think about the tensions between the west and the east at this point, especially regarding the eastern part of asia, the us may be limiting their access to us markets in this way. when you add in the fact that this company in particular, is claiming to be an electronic vehicle battery manufacturer, which is a "hot area" right now, and that there is no real proof that they even exist, fnra may be thinking that the folks behind this shell are trying to raise capital off the hype of the sector, with no intention of ever producing or manufacturing anything. so, that is a good point to me. dolv management may also be dropping the ball on their lawsuit for this reason as well...the heat may be quite hot, and any proof the courts are requiring in their case, may acutally add to existing suspicions and skepticism about the company, and to more questions by finra. and yes, finra has attorneys on staff that work with sec attorneys. so, there is overlap between the agencies.
