WHY THIS IS UNDENIABLE:
The FULO (Full Obligation) flag is the smoking gun. As of March 2, 2026, the LSE began using this signature to mark Mandatory Settlements. When an MM fails to deliver into a London trade, they don't get a "grace period"—they get a Cash Debit at the £1.31 floor.
Powers and Black didn't pull this out of thin air; they waited for the UK to change the laws (POATR/PRM on Jan 19th) to build the cage. Now, the Rule 9 Bounty Hunters are simply collecting the debt.
