By some estimates fully 90-95%of penny stocks are, at best, run by unethical scoundrels who operate in bad faith to outright criminal frauds. These tickers have insanely low thresholds of oversight and compliance which naturally attracts hoards of fraudsters.

Recent attempts to reign abuses went into effect on September 28, 2021 resulting in many non-reporting/ non-compliant tickers being thrown into the new, "expert market" dumpster. Gone are the days scammers could still operate with an OTC "STOP" sign flashing. This new regulation got rid of a lot of garbage but more remains to be thrown out.
