nothing is being "twisted"...this is your statement..."Of course FINRA absolutely can slow down, retard, arrest or even delay-beyond-being-worthwhile any given 211 application"
and you are absolutely correct...and that is what i was saying...
i know you wish you hadnt spoken the truth since it went against what your buddy was trying to say...but oh well...
it IS the truth...and you wont find it in the rules and regulations as such...and if you call they will tell you they give every application its due consideration and strive to act quickly and appropriately...
