$MMTLP... Mr. President: Fraud in the USA must stop. The US Govt stole from me and my family. A 99 year old grandma, a Special Needs grandchild. Fix ... FINRA,FIF, SEC, DTCC. or Trump Baby Accounts will fail too. GRAND THEFT. Its over 3 1/2 years. WWYD if someone robbed you? We are a civil #MMTLP ARMY, no riots, no physical conflicts, no guns, no rocks, no frozen water bottles, no assassins. The pre-market trades exposed the counterfeit naked shorting criminals.
Does @realDonaldTrump know about 65k investors, Veteran's & Elderly trapped in MMTLP? When @DevinNunes CEO of Trump Media Group DJT used MMTLP in a letter to @SECGov to expose MARKET MANIPULATION & SHORT SELLING to the @SECGov ...... @JDVance signed a letter along with 74 other members of congress asking for TRANSPARENCY! Ask why @PeteSessions @RepRalphNorman @ByronDonalds @HesterPeirce & others @congressdotgov hiding behind investigation for 3 years by @SECPaulSAtkins @SECGov instead of doing research, reading the information uncovered in Foia's or pressing for answers in MMTLP. MANY have committed to investigate & legislate to protect investors from fraud! TIME FOR TRANSPARANCY! WHAT'S THE AUDITED AGGREGATED SHARE COUNT OF #MMTLP We have been asking where the media is & why they are hiding the FRAUD behind MMTLP!

Does this include the MMTLP sharecount? That is the “data” you’re trying so desperately to bury. WHY is that, @SECPaulSAtkins? For the record… “we’ll see” isn’t gonna work much longer. We aren’t going away. $MMTLP #MMTLParmy $MMAT

🚨 BOMBSHELL EMAIL EXPOSED 🚨 A FOIA just revealed behind closed doors coordination between FINRA, the SEC, and the broker/dealer lobby (FIF) over $MMTLP AFTER 65,000 investors were trapped by a U3 halt. Not investor protection. Damage control. They knew there weren’t enough real shares. They froze trading anyway. Wall Street was protected. Families were destroyed. 📄 The email is real. 📅 The timeline is documented. The questions are now: How do we get answers?

Why didn’t @RepThomasMassie sign the MMTLP letter like @VP, @PeteSessions & @RalphNorman did? Why have they gone quiet or rather, “hush hush” about MMTLP? Instead of asking why were Cynthia West & Thomas Massie in a personal relationship, perhaps inquire why Cynthia West was in Washington D.C. in the first place? The #MMTLPfiasco is the biggest story that nobody is talking about. Big shout outs to @TheRobbCarter, @DennisKneale, @JohnnyTabacco, @kshaughnessy2, @cvpayne for your consistent, and continued support. All constituents deserve the truth. Johnny Tabbaco (re: MMTLP): "Sooner or later they gotta hash something out."

@POTUS 🇺🇸 On Jan 20, 2025, you signed EO 14147 to end the WEAPONIZATION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT against the American people. For over 5 years, the @SECGov, @FINRA, other financial sector SROs and market participants, have waged a war against retail investors for the benefit of the CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. #RICO When TRCH MMTLP MMAT got too close to exposing their racket, they ALL conspired to defraud investors. The cover-up rages on today. Does this sound like WEAPONIZATON to you???... 🚩Ignored issuer's concerns/compaints over 2M uncovered shorts that "disappeared" from NASDAQ Short Interest Report. NASDAQ claimed they were moved "offshore". 🚩Helped to establish an options chain for TRCH three weeks before a rev merge in order to provide mechanism for shorts to hold open obligations through a reverse merger to subvert short covering. 🚩Investigated irregularities in the trading of MMTLP for over a year, but failed to protect investors even when they suspected fraud. #Rule6490 🚩Ignored complaints from shareholders and issuers when a NASDAQ issued dividend, that was never intended to trade, was traded on the OTC Markets without issuer's knowledge or consent. 🚩Conspired with FINRA before during and after FINRA's U3 halt to defraud investors. #FOIA #RICO 🚩Altered an issuer's Corporate Action TWICE, in violation of #Rule6490 in order to establish a settlement issue. 🚩Issued historic U3 Halt, terminating trading two days before the published and promoted final days of trading, trapping investors for 1200 Days. 🚩Refused to enforce the law and force reconciliation of short obligations. 🚩Made claims of "threats" from defrauded investors, two days after U3 Halt, but failed to provide documentation of such threats. 🚩Potentially used operatives on social media platforms to deploy deflective narratives to subvert transparency and distract attention from institutional fraud. #XTDs #RICO 🚩Delayed issuers ability to raise capital via an S-1 Registration with malicious strategies. Longest outstanding registration statement in history. 🚩Ignored investors' complaints as brokers refused to transfer shares to the issuer's transfer agent, which constitutes interference in property rights. 🚩First ever #FINRAFAQ with false and misleading information easily discredited by The MMTLP Army. 🚩Potentially hired consultant (who holds patents to trading algorithms/dark pools) to spread false and misleading narratives to Congress amidst their investigation, who also has direct relationship to market maker implicated in MMTLP Fiasco. 🚩Lied to Congress. #GenslerLied #CookLied 🚩Conspired with Broker-Dealer lobbying firm FIF to interfere in issuer's Registration Statement to avoid short obligation exposure and trade settlement. #FOIA #RICO 🚩Interfered in Congressional investigation. #VirtualCoffee #FOIA 🚩Front-ran investor attempts to enlist State AGs to investigate potential securities fraud, by delivering compromised FINRA FAQ. 🚩Filed "Novel" Enforcement action against issuers that had already FAILED twice in other civil action. #Deflection 🚩Fought transparency in Federal Court. 10 cases. 🚩Obstructed #FOIA requests. < 2% response rate. 🚩Attempted to circumvent rules of discovery in their "novel enforcement action". 🚩Attempted to deleverage the issuer into disclosing non-public information. 🚩Refused to meet with issuer to resolve settlement issues. 🚩Weaponized interminable investigations to deflect transparency and regulators' roles as co-conspirators in the defrauding of MMTLP investors. #RICO 🚩Deleted text messages...we have them! #FOIA 🚩Set new policy to delete CAT data, right as discovery is incoming in a BK Trustee's investigation. @realDonaldTrump If nothing is wrong, why has the system refused transparency? If nothing is wrong, why has the system conspired to interfere in trade settlement? If nothing is wrong, why did Former Chairman Gensler and FINRA CEO Robert Cook lie and mislead Congress and the American People? If nothing is wrong, why have ALL of these participants fought discovery in 10 legal cases? There is a letter headed to your desk for signature. It has taken over a year of Heculian efforts to get this letter to you. For the sake of 65k harmed investors who did nothing wrong, PLEASE DEMAND TRANSPARENCY!!! @SECPaulSAtkins The MMTLP Fiasco is BIGGER than Madoff, FTX and EEnron COMBINED!!! Take this win for American Investors and restore accountibility and integrity to US Capital Markets. Like you, The MMTLP Army is RELENTLESS. WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY!!! Please sign the letter. 🖤MMTLP 🫡🇺🇸 @DOGE @DOGE_SEC @timburchett @RepLuna

One of the biggest frauds known to Congress and the White House is the daily corruption on Wall Street. Look into why Cynthia West went to D.C. in the first place — she was fighting for transparency for the 65k #MMTLP shareholders. This case is frozen in time with a 1251-day U3 halt, exposing exactly how deep the problems go. Time for real answers, accountability, and justice for retail investors. mmtlp.com #MMTLPFiasco #FINRAfraud #WallStreetFraud #FraudTaskForce

$MMTLP Amy @thatgirltrader was evasive and disingenuous. Knowledge cuts through the noise and manipulation. If you google "who enforces Reg SHO" and look at that very surface level question's answer, the answer is @SECGov. However, that is not the appropriate answer regarding $MMTLP. Drew was correct to say that FINRA is the primary enforcer in the case of the MMTLP FTDs that have been likely uncured for the passed 3 1/2 years. If you want to find the truth, don't take what anyone says as gospel and DO YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE!

Best for Last... The Turning Point in todays hearing MMAT Trustee vs FINRA motion to quash in my humble opinion was this: The judge cited TWO cases from his own independent research that informed his decision. This sent FINRA's lawer into "cannot compute" territory... and his entire body language i referenced in my earlier post manifested in front of our eyes. The two cases where: 1. Primary Case i believe our Judge quoted was In Re 204 Center LLC, Citation 634 B.R. 630 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 2021), Judge Williamson... god rest his soul (can someone please look this one up on PACER?) Our Judge then stated that Judge Williamson surveyed the landscape of Rule 2004 scope and limits. Our judge read extensive quotes from this decision, particularly the conclusion at page 639 (i believe), which established that... Discovery under Rule 205, now called Rule 2004... was NOT intended to provide a party a STRATEGIC advantage in private litigation... Rule 205 was intended to provide the trustee generally new to the case with a VERY BROAD discovery device to aid in an efficient and FAST gathering of ALL the pertinent FACTS necessary in the effective administration of the estates... 2. The Secondary Case i believe was Millennium Holdings 2 LLC, 562 B.R. 614 Court: Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware Year: 2016 Citation: 562 BR 614 This case also addressed similar questions about the limits on Rule 2004. deb.uscourts.gov/sites/deb/f… Note [I will need to further confirm the two cases once we get the transcripts...BIT it really does NOT even matter for the purposes of this initial discussion here... since the Judge's justification is all that matters... let me know below if you heard the Judge mention a different case.... and please do share!] ⬇️ How do these rulings impact positively future trustee investigations? 1. Broad Data Access Established - Trustees can now obtain market-wide data from regulators like FINRA and NASDAQ - Short interest data, TRF data, and trading volume data are fair game - This sets precedent that regulators CANNOT hide behind "burden" claims for basic data production Impact: Trustees can conduct comprehensive market manipulation investigations without being stonewalled 😎 2. Cost-Shifting Principle - The trustee bears the cost of production, removing the "undue burden" excuse from the likes of FINRA... - Judge adopted FINRA's own Rule 45 cost-shifting language (THANK YOU FINRA) Impact: Trustees with adequate funding (like MMAT's with litigation financing) can access data production for some additional $$$ 😎 3. Data vs. Documents Distinction - Judge clearly distinguished between "data" (generally producible) and "documents" (subject to privilege) - Data requests don't require document-by-document review Impact: Trustees can now DEMAND raw data exports without triggering full discovery obligations! 😎 4. Triangulation Principle Endorsed (big one) - Our Judge accepted the trustee's argument about needing data from multiple sources - Even if data overlaps, each party's data is relevant and must be produced Impact: Trustees can conduct multi-source investigations WITHOUT being told "go ask someone else first" 💪 FINAL THOUGHT I think this is a HISTORIC day. I am very appreciative of our fearless Trustee and legal teams, who have dared to face firms with unlimited resources, and our community who face every day, an army of echo chambers....already went to work tonight to claim victory... and why are they SO afraid of the trading data anyways? …But their narrative is no longer… turns out shouting in unison isn’t the same as being right, just louder about being wrong. 🤣😂

$MMTLP Yes @SECPaulSAtkins… you’re really making markets safer and more efficient. For those who break the law, that is.
THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. A rental car company with $25 billion in debt just exploded 600% in a month because two investors own over 100% of the stock. Avis Budget Group $CAR hit a record high of $608.80 on Monday, surging 23% in a single day. Two hedge funds, SRS Investment and Pentwater Capital, control 71% of the shares but when including their cash-settled equity swaps, their combined holding exceeds the entire outstanding supply. This is a company that reported a $995 million net loss last year and has been struggling under a massive debt load for months. One technical ownership glitch changed everything. The supply mismatch is so extreme that short sellers are trapped in a mathematical impossibility. With zero shares left to borrow and the float effectively non existent, the market just gave a debt heavy rental company a 6x gain simply because the math broke.

FINRA's BS "Enforcement" on Barclays: Why @FINRA is GUILTY of Regulatory Concealment. We're constantly told America has the most transparent, safest, most secure public markets on the planet, the "gold standard" for investors and companies brave enough to go public. Yet here we are again with FINRA handing out yet another limp slap on the wrist while demonstrating that they don't care AT ALL about market integrity or individual investors. Let's look at this Barclays case, and why this "regulatory action" is a slap in the face to public companies and investors alike. In their recent Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (AWC), Barclays admitted to executing 25,711 short sale orders in equity securities between December 2020 and May 2022 without bothering to locate borrowable shares. That's a straight-up violation of Rule 203(b)(1) of Reg SHO... the "locate requirement". This rule is designed to prevent exactly this kind of naked short selling, but here it is happening in broad daylight. On top of that, from December 2020 all the way through September 2023, FINRA failed to maintain any reasonably designed supervisory system to catch this crap. Reused trading accounts with leftover "market maker" coding just let them skate by, and FINRA's response? A measley $140,000 fine plus a censure. No admission of guilt, of course. Just the usual "without admitting or denying the findings." Now think about that for a second. 25,711 improper short orders over 18 months. How much cash do you figure Barclays and their clients made off those trades? Do you know how insanely profitable shorting without locates in potentially hard to borrow names can be? These practices depress prices, triggers stops, and creates synthetic supply that never actually existed... all at the SAME TIME! We're talking potential millions (or more) in profits, fees, and spreads for a massive global bank like Barclays, whose overall profits run in the billions annually. All while the investing public is literally stolen from in the process. And FINRA hits them with pocket change fines? $140k is literally nothing to these institutions. It's a fraction of their cost of doing business. Less than a rounding error. And yes, similar Reg SHO cases against big players have seen fines in the $2M–$5M range for thousands of violations, but compared to how much they MADE on this conduct? This isn't enforcement... it's a fking participation trophy for breaking the rules. As if you needed further proof of how FINRA protects bad actors while making investors a sacrificial lamb, lets tie in the MMTLP situation. Both the issuing company's estate, and the Next Bridge Hydrocarbons spinout company, and all investors involved in BOTH, have been screaming for a full share audit, blue sheets, and real transparency around the December 2022 trading halt and alleged naked short positions. One hedge fund alone (Anson Funds) has allegedly admitted to being short 10 million shares, nearly 4x the reported total of 2.65 million short shares that FINRA has stated on the record. Around a HUNDRED congressional members total have advocated for this data to be turned over, and FINRA balked at every single one of their requests. Yep... instead of handing over the data and letting the facts come out, FINRA has battled investors in court at every turn, resisting subpoenas, claiming it's too "burdensome," and burning through serious legal fees to keep the details hidden. Now... here's what really pisses me off: The companies whose stocks get caught up in this Barclays mess? They get zero notification. Nothing. Not a single ticker named in the AWC. Just vague talk of "equity securities." So if your company's share price was artificially depressed by this naked shorting, if your hardworking investors got screwed by phantom shares that shouldn't have existed in the most "free and fair markets in the world"... too fkin bad. Go play detective with old threshold lists and short interest data if you want. Spend a fortune on lawyers and forensic analysis just to figure out if you were targeted. FINRA ain't helping, and as the MMTLP situation demonstrates, will likely spend money to fight having to be transparent with you. Meanwhile, when some company has a data breach and your personal info gets stolen, you get a nice letter in the mail informing you of such, which is often followed by a settlement check of some kind. But when Wall Street players flood the market with synthetic shares that can tank your stock and strip you of your hard earned savings? Crickets from FINRA and the SEC. MONEY SPENT BY THE REGULATORS TO CONCEAL THE TRUTH. NO transparency. No help. And no one cares. This is supposed to be the most transparent market in the world? Gimme a fkin break. FINRA polices brokers with confidential investigations, generic public settlements, and fines so weak that they barely register. There's NOTHING transparent about it. No mandatory share audits. No one gets fired or HEAVEN FORBID criminally charged for what basically equates to printing counterfeit money. Then on the other side of it, no restitution to issuers or investors. No heads-up so companies can evaluate their legal options. Just more regulatory concealment that lets this shit fester and keep right on goin. So let's call it what it is. The system is built to protect the players, not the public companies or the hardworking investors upon whom our free markets were originally built. It has now become a fking blueprint for how to abuse loopholes, market structure, and "oversight" itself without real consequence. Regulators lead everyone to believe we have rules with teeth. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins is out here touting that the market is more secure and fair then ever. It's not true. Instead, they look the other way while naked shorting goes on, companies get damaged, and the fines are treated like a joke. This isn’t some isolated screw-up. It’s the pattern. And it erodes trust in the entire market. Now, circling back to MMTLP, thankfully, just two short days ago, the judge overseeing the Meta Materials bankruptcy proceedings has compelled FINRA to turn over data from their trade reporting facilities related to BOTH MMAT, and MMTLP (the preferred shares which were then exchanged for shares of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, a company that is still ongoing and not in bankruptcy). Data that when supplied, provides transparency to investors who have been, in some cases, irreparably harmed. All of this comes much to the VISIBLE dismay of FINRA's attorney, who one could swear was going to break down and cry upon hearing the judge's ruling. This situation with Barclays just further demonstrates the lengths FINRA will go to in an effort to NOT be transparent at all in their role as a "market regulator". Investors and/or a company DESERVE TO KNOW if their company was the target of naked shorting. But instead of simply releasing the data, FINRA will go to any lengths to protect and insulate these bad actors from potential claims for their THEFT. And make no mistake about it, it's theft PLAIN AND SIMPLE. When you then see how FINRA has fought every single solitary court proceeding calling on them to provide the very transparency that they are allegedly mandated to provide, you start to see the picture real clear: FINRA will spend hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to be opaque, rather then spend a fraction of that to provide transparency. Gee... I wonder why. The pattern is clear, and it stinks. But as it relates to the MMTLP shareholders fighting for justice, the round room that FINRA was scurrying to find a corner to hide in just shrunk on them. I told you many times: We aren't going anywhere until this is resolved, and I hope every last one of your collective asses ends up on the chopping block when the data comes out. And to the experts, journalists, and their tribe of trolls without any semblance of a life outside of social media, all of whom who still claim naked shorting does not exist: I very kindly ask you to read the below, and then very promptly go f (restraining myself)... get a life. Thank you.
