ok, let's put it this way then, and please READ this carefully:

The OTC market and broker-dealers’ activities in the market are regulated by FINRA, the SEC and various state securities regulators. As well, companies with SEC-registered securities are regulated by the SEC. OTC Markets Group is neither a stock exchange nor self-regulatory organization (SRO) and is not regulated by FINRA or the SEC.

OTC Markets Group’s quotation and trading system is only open to registered broker-dealers and those broker-dealers are subject to FINRA rules and regulations regarding their conduct and use of the OTC Markets Group systems.

Pinksheets themselves are NOT regulated by FINRA. FACT.

Don't confuse FINRA regulating broker actions with FINRA regulating Pinksheets.. not the same...
