This is the part of the report that made me laugh: (it took FINRA 5 years to issue the fine)
Goldman Sachs Fined $3M By Finra For Mismarked Sales | fa-mag.com (Apr 04, 2023)
"The errors occurred between October 2015 and April 2018, and were discovered during a Finra examination that included how Goldman Sachs executed large “parent orders” and their associated “child orders,” according to Finra."

"We have been analyzing the stock market and have come up with a list of stocks that we believe are among the most manipulated in the history of the stock market. The stock market is rigged by a combination of stock exchanges, big Wall Street banks, hedge funds, and market makers.
"It's no surprise that one of the stocks we mentioned, Citadel Securities, a market maker and also a hedge fund, is being accused, along with Virtu Americas LLC (including Knight Securities), of manipulating the stock of Northwest Biotherapeutics. It's worth noting that Citadel Securities has already been fined numerous times for market manipulation."
Yes, these sorts of articles make me chuckle, too, because it just goes to show who is really in charge, and it's not the voting public. The world we live in today is hilarious for so many reasons, like: 1)
Justice is a function of price—those who can afford to keep the best lawyers and accountants on retainer can freely game the law and distort the markets, elections, science, etc, while real moms and pops and kids commit suicide, go bankrupt, lose their jobs, their homes, wear silly masks, take experimental injections, all while watching their savings, pensions, kids’ college funds, etc, evaporate before their very eyes. 2) Organized financial crime is rewarded, while virtue, honesty, meritocracy, hard work and thrift gets its throat crushed, making a complete mockery of our political system, justice system, regulatory agencies, indeed the entire notion of rule of law. “Rules for thee, but not for me, the public be damned!” says Global Capital. 3) Shareholder democracy (as well as political democracy) is a total sham when the global financial apparatus can just fail-to-deliver shares in one long never-ending-game of musical chairs or “mistakenly” mark trades to make insane amounts of money in seconds; in other words, they can do whatever they damn well please. Which segues into…. 4) Picking winners and losers in a rigged global marketplace: you’ve got to love how unelected, unaccountable Central Banksters/Transnational Financiers can manipulate credit and monetary policy that selects certain investments and investors over others; a game of picking winners and losers that Wall Street happily takes part in. The Fed gets to play both arsonist and firefighter in this game, while Wall Street leverages whatever monetary morphine the Fed throws its way to create a meritless, artificial economy. Covid, Ukraine and the “banking crisis” are just the latest episodes of jamming the democratic process while Transnational Finance forces economic transformation without representation; Central Banksters are empowered to do what elected officials cannot without facing the wrath of the voters. What a hoot, indeed, my stomach is aching I'm laughing so hard. 5) We all have to congratulate the multibillion dollar, multinational corporate mainstream media for their stellar work in mass mind control—a system of deception and deceit owned and operated by serial liars and con men whose wealthy handlers won’t allow real crimes to come to surface, like naked short selling, censorship of dissent, regulatory capture, bribing politicians and other unelected public servants/scientists. No, mainstream media teaches us to fear really really scary things, like EVs, Elon Musk, our neighbors, virus spreaders, science deniers, working class people, basically people who don’t fall in line with the official narratives spoon fed to them from CNBC, BBC, NPR, New York Times, etc.
I could go on and on, but this might be too much laughter for one morning, so I’ll stop.
