there have been numerous tickers that have come back from greys because investigations came up empty



Not true. The total number that have come back post-fraud suspension you can count on 1 hand. Even if you were missing some fingers.

And even then, the SEC did not "get it wrong". They suspended the ticker to stop fraudulent activity, which was successful. And it doesn't mean the investigations "came up empty", either. There are lots of reasons why the SEC may decide it is not worth prosecuting, even when they have evidence of guilt. In many cases, the people are already being prosecuted by the SEC or other agency, and is not worth the time and cost of adding on additional charges.

Quite a few companies have released news post-suspension. That doesn't make them any less guilty.

When FINRA blue sheets a stock, the tape does not lie. EVER! When FINRA requests member firms the records of certain trades or trades in a specific metric of dates, guess what comes up?

ALL of the account information of shareholders of record of a specific date, and or any account that purchased or sold during a period.

This includes the name on the account, account number, address, phone number, trade dates, time stamps, quantities, and did I mention SS#s or TID#s.

And ya know what they do with that? They cross reference the data with the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and find other accounts affiliated.

The tape doesn't lie.

They use this process to not just identify fraud, manipulation or insider trading (yes, this is how they catch them so quickly), they use this process to restrict accounts at the Fed level for Reg T violations, Margin violations, Free-Riding among others.

And if I got a Blue Sheet request on a stock, and I was not busy, I could Blue Sheet it in seconds, put it in a spread sheet and submit it, where FINRA could have it in five minutes.

Trust me, FINRA and the SEC have something on someone that caught their attention, not just a chart on the internet.
