THIS IS SIMPLE

The people of the united states need government support to enforce the regulations established, penalties need to be stiffer, companies are on the SHO list for hundreds of days, why is this continuing?

the punishment MUST fit the crime

millions of dollars are being syphoned from investors to these illegal traders

something must be done to identify and stop these transactions as they occur, not months later if at all

SEC must act responsibly
