FINRA is controlled by the hedge funds which in turn are owned by large banks and security houses. FINRA gets most its funding from them. It is not going to halt the stock if the management asks for the halt due to major announcement. And particularly not if its masters are out to destroy the company. FINRA is more compromised than health of a GMB patient. And in OTC, little can be done by the management to prevent decimation even though the announcement is “great news”. Their pockets are deeper than the Marianna Trench. That is why, it might be better to get off the OTC, if possible at all, before the announcement of approval.
