Would you like to tell us how the NYSE is corrupt?

Or do they just get tarred with 'Well, they work in finance, of course they are all crooks' brush?

NYSE sells preferential access that allows favored players to skim without risk. The industry regulations around “market makers” and pay-for-order-flow are incredibly crooked.

There’s also a clear tolerance of securities fraud as long as you subscribe to certain ideologies — eg, NYSE allowing Disney to trade when they’re clearly stealing/destroying shareholder assets to advance the ideology of a cabal of executives and fiduciaries.

Just google what they do when they don't like some trades

The standard for corruption is higher than “I don’t like your decision.”

So you think anyone can get their trades reverted on the stock exchange if they ask nicely? Oopsie, I clicked the wrong button, now please revert the trade that lost me some money. If some get such preferential treatment it's clear cut case of corruption, you don't need to catch them with the proverbial smoking gun to know it

Still waiting for all this evidence of yours.

Much easier to just go by gut feeling though isn't it.

What now? I'm sure you are going to say that they settled because they were innocent, right? And that they halted trades 'by mistake', not on a purpose

The internet's full of garbage. All that'll find me is a mountain of people who don't understand what they are talking about shouting very loudly.

I'm not going to waste my time sifting through it to find evidence for a claim you're making.

Make a specific claim of corruption, and provide evidence for it.
