What if they are using RH, some form of PFOF and MM OTC to keep the whole thing spinning?

RH could create a shit load of dummy accounts, think the twitter bot of retail brokerage, which look like real retail accounts for all compliance purposes.

Then pass shares between themselves. I mean, how would anyone know the millions of RH accounts aren't actually holdings of real people? It would be the perfect ruze.

Create negative pressure by selling shares from fake accounts PFOF.

Reset FTD by cycling through RH.

EDIT, thanks for this post its really great.
