The SEC has been benevolent to the DTCC for years, that scenario of yours has a certain ring of plausability to it, giving the brokers/MM's a free pass by avoiding a short squeeze. Like I said many posts ago, the SEC target certain Co's @ their masters bidding, they can tie Co's up for years, de-register them, or more often taint the Co's image by investigating them for the benifit of shorters. I smelled a (SEC)rat as soon as I knew they were involved, & I still believe they have a lot to do with present circumstances. IMO. tlo.
