Haven't seen criminals prove evidence for their own prosecution. Obviously, they were not going to show any imbalance and where on a hurry to keep everything confidential. Air-Shareholders wouldn't see they were not on the lists.
What?? Brokers like TDA and Trade were dealing with people like you. Retail customers. They are and were not "criminals". The judge demanded that they turn over the information in question. They had no objection to doing so. Remember: COR was suing them, in the hope of getting some money out of them.
Needless the say, that didn't work. The information in question was kept under seal because most retail shareholders didn't want their names made public.
Beaufort, one of the firms that bought debt, converted it, and resold it into the market, was disciplined by the SEC; its London branch was disciplined by the authorities there. Nobilis has disappeared. Alpine Securities is still in business, though the SEC is pursuing it, along with its owner, John Hurry.
COR itself was disciplined by FINRA. It was purchased by a competing firm.
