"Don't confuse FINRA with being true" ? LOL ok we'll trust Alpine? You? ..everyone whose been around a while or knows people in the industry knows what Alpine was and what they did. More importantly though From the wells notice investigation:
"Alpine executed sales in 230 stocks quoted on the OTC markets"
"Alpine did not act as bona fide market maker in any of these securities at issue"
"In more than 97% of the 5,598 instances, Alpine maintained either just one sided quotes (i.e. only a bid or ask) or maintained "unpriced quotes"
Funny out of all those 230 stocks that a GTII short would trip them up(and don't say they forgot to call it in because it was over several days and the borrow rate was over 1200%) Anyone looking at this situation and the 40 years of lies by Alpine(including their off shore ties) and the Kramers literal BILLIONS of unregistered shares on top of seeing TRILLIONS of dollars in FTD'S in the market in general and doesn't wonder where exactly is all this money being funneled to needs their head examined.
Beginning with "miscalculation" of their net capital requirements, them saying they could pay the NSCC fees imposed,
then oops No they couldn't to not knowing how to do the math on 10 million in Utah. Every single time they get caught and let off the hook..why kick them out now???? I mean REALLY think about it..we know who is in and runs FINRA and the NSCC etc but now? Why now? Common sense should tell everyone why.
