🔫This is one of several smoking guns. The 1st $MMTLP Corporate Action stated shareholders would receive one (1) share of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons on 12/14/22, while simultaneously declaring MMTLP shares cancelled effective 12/13/22. As written, that is logically impossible. A security cannot be cancelled before the date required to receive the distribution. Had this Corporate Action been properly reviewed under @FINRA Rule 6490, it never should have appeared on the Daily List. Meanwhile, the SEC was engaged in email communications with FIF, a broker-dealer trade organization, regarding concerns over synthetic (fake) shares and uncovered short positions being carried by broker-dealers. Rather than force reconciliation or require shorts to cover, FINRA, the regulator overseeing those same broker/dealers, ensured they never had to. FINRA later claimed it relied on language from a December 23rd press release, yet still failed to include the correct 12/14/22 (after market close) share cancellation date. Instead, FINRA doubled down by deleting the MMTLP symbol on 12/13, an action that typically coincides with share cancellation. By doing so, FINRA, not Meta Materials or Next Bridge, forced a Mandatory Exchange/Reorganization on December 13, regardless of issuer intent. Every brokerage was compelled to comply because it was FINRA’s Corporate Action, not the issuer’s. Then, just three days before the position was set to close, FINRA invoked a U3 halt, an extraordinary measure reserved for industry preservation emergencies, to halt a security that was never supposed to trade in the first place. The result: short positions were frozen in place, reconciliation was avoided, innocent investors were locked out, and entire #MMTLP portfolios were effectively wiped out leaving a path of destruction and despair for over 65,000 #MMTLPFAMILY members. FINRA later removed the requirement that MMTLP be held through 12/14/22, a change that appeared only months later in its first FAQ, after the damage was already done. This is a clear example of regulatory coordination and FINRA acting outside its scope of duty. Unless someone can point to where FINRA is authorized to rewrite an issuer’s Corporate Action in a way that causes settlement failure and protects broker/dealers, this was regulatory misconduct. Perhaps representatives from FINRA and the @SECGov or @SecScottBessent would like to comment at the upcoming Press Conference in front of the SEC? Will the @TheJusticeDept send anyone? The #MMTLPARMY will be there...💪

The 1st $MMTLP Corporate Action said "...will receive one (1) share of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons Inc. for every one (1) share of MMTLP held on Pay Date of 12/14/22." It then goes on to say that "MMTLP shares will be cancelled effective 12/13/22." As written, it was impossible to receive shares of Next Bridge on 12/14/22. If the Corporate Action was properly reviewed according to @FINRA Rule 6490, this Corporate Action never would've made it to the Daily List! The 2nd image includes wording from the December 23rd PR that FINRA claims to have used to create the MMTLP Corporate Action. Observe that using the correct December 14th (after market close) share cancellation date would've prevented the issue that FINRA created. But FINRA didn't include the correct December 14th Share Cancellation in the revised Corporate Action either. They instead included that FINRA would be Deleting the MMTLP SYMBOL on December 13th. SYMBOL DELETION is an action that usually coincides with SHARE CANCELLATION. So essentially they were doubling down on December 13th being the SHARE CANCELLATION DATE because they didn't include the correct SHARE CANCELLATION DATE until 3 months later in their first FAQ. FINRA also removed that part about having to have held MMTLP on December 14th in their revised Corporate Action. Whether the MMTLP SYMBOL was Deleted on December 13th or not, every brokerage had to take part in a Mandatory Exchange/Reorganization on December 13th because it was always FINRA's Corporate Action, it didn't matter what Metamaterials or Next Bridge wanted to do! A clear example of FINRA acting outside of their scope of duty! (Unless someone can comment below where it says that FINRA is allowed to modify/revise/amend an issuer's Corporate Action in such a way that it CAUSES settlement issues.) I'll wait!

Magnificent analysis. Let me add this Mr. Palikaras: MMTLP investors defrauded by counterfeit shorting sent 40,000 letters for help at the SEC, we were ghosted and never got any help. FIF members send 1 email and they access everything they want and collude with the SEC to defraud us more.

Dear Ms. Fischer, You once warned that transparency matters more than ever. You tweeted that FOIA offices were being gutted by people who “don’t understand or respect government.” We agree. But now ** thanks to FOIAs ** we have a clearer view of what “respect for government” looked like inside the @SECGov during YOUR tenure… and in YOUR inbox. According to the record, right before Chairman Gensler’s public appearance with @dlauer, you received narrative-steering talking points from Cromwell Coulson, CEO of @OTCMarkets , framing $MMTLP investors as “amateurs” defending @FINRA, and PRE-CONDITIONING the Chairman’s messaging. Then, hours after the live event, around midnight, you received another message from him. If that’s not government being steered by industry, what is⁉️ After three years of denials, delays, and deflections, the @SECGov told the public that Chairman Gensler’s phone texts had been lost. No backups. Just… gone! But thanks to #MMTLP FOIAs, 65 pages of those messages resurfaced earlier this year, including ones showing direct discussions about MMTLP between FINRA, OTC, and senior SEC staff before and after the trading halt. You were there. You were named. You were informed. And you were Gensler's gatekeeper. Yet we’ve seen no clarification, no correction, and no explanation from you. So I have a few questions, not just from the public, but soon perhaps from Congress: 1. Did you forward or brief Chairman Gensler on Cromwell Coulson’s MMTLP talking points prior to the Spaces call, or had any discussion post with Gensler or Lauer? 2. Did you alter, filter, or suppress any internal SEC communications related to MMTLP complaints or investor protections at any time? 3. Did you receive similar inputs from any industry players ahead of any public messaging from the Chair’s office? If so, who and for which stocks? 4. Did you notify Investor Advocate, Rick Fleming, or Enforcement teams of any concerns raised internally about the halt, threshold list, or synthetic exposure and any time? 5. Did you or your staff participate in delaying, redacting, or downplaying FOIA response processes related to MMTLP or any other stock during your tenure? Coinbase? $TSLA? $BTC? $GME? $DJT? 6. When you saw the narrative shaping from the CEO of the OTC Markets, did you FLAG it as INAPPROPRIATE, or did you AMPLIFY it internally? 7. And now that the documents contradict public statements, will you issue any form of clarification or acknowledgment? Retail investors were told they misunderstood. Issuers received no timely explanation. Then they were all told to move on. But now, the documents speak. 🗂️ The texts were NOT lost. 🗂️ The oversight was NOT accidental. 🗂️ And your role was NOT invisible. If you still stand by the values you post about ***and that @BetterMarkets claims to promote*** this would be a good time to show it. Respectfully, The Public, and Congress, are watching. @DennisKneale @RepDonaldsPress @SenatorHagerty @cvpayne @FoxBusiness @elonmusk @zerohedge @EleanorTerrett @RepMattGaetz @SecKennedy @TheRobbCarter @WallStreetApes @WhiteHouse @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @PeteSessions #RegulatoryCapture #MarketIntegrity #CongressionalOversight Some further reading on FOIA denials: poliscio.com/mmtlp-investor…

Amanda Fischer@amandalfischer

A couple responses to this stunt: 1.If the FOIA office still responds independently (ie the Commissioners don’t coerce responses or non-responses) much of this should be covered by exemptions. It’s a good test for if Commission functions have been compromised by politics.

George Palikaras@palikaras·
Dear @cromwellc Mr Coulson, It seems you were particularly engaged the evening of the #Gensler Spaces call with Mr David Lauer @dlauer. According to FOIA-released correspondence (below), you reached back out to Amanda Fischer, Chief of Staff to the SEC Chair, around midnight EST on the same evening, following the broadcast. One wonders: what exactly was so urgent? Was it the Chairman’s tone? The lingering possibility that something could have slipped through the preconditioning filter? Or the relief for those topics omitted during the call, namely #MMTLP? Because by that point, you had already sent Amanda a pre-call memo titled “Gary Gensler and Dave Lauer on Twitter” in which you explicitly referenced MMTLP, described retail investors as “amateurs" **shame on you!**, dismissed concerns of synthetic shorts, and provided suggested talking points for the Chair. A few questions, then, for the public record: 1. Do you consider it appropriate for the CEO of a trading venue to privately brief the SEC Chair’s Chief of Staff in advance of a live Q&A with 1,000s of retail investors listening in, with an aim to steer narrative framing? 2. Was any part of your near-midnight follow-up designed to monitor, evaluate, or “correct” the outcome of the Chairman’s appearance? 3. Have you ever briefed the @SECGov before any other public appearances by its leadership, or was $MMTLP uniquely deserving of late-night concern? 4. How frequently do you communicate directly with senior SEC staff in advance of public-facing events, especially those with retail audiences? 5. And finally: if your remarks to the SEC contained partial or misleading representations, which now appear to be contradicted by subsequent FOIA disclosures and broker-dealer admissions, do you plan to issue a clarification or retraction? Everyone has been focused on the U3 halt. But the real breach didn’t happen at the end. It happened on Day 1, the moment #MMTLP was allowed to trade. By the time the U3 was triggered, the damage was already done. The halt didn’t cause the crisis. It concealed it. We understand that market stability keeps many executives up at night. But the midnight timing of your note suggests it may not be volatility that’s disrupting your sleep, it may be the truth. So if you're serious about market integrity and not just another market hypocrite, start the timeline and your briefing at the beginning. Not when they pulled the plug but when they plugged in a security that should never have gone live. Bonus question, if everything you did was all above board, then why did your senior staff (Patti Cassimates) refuse to share with @Metamaterialtec (the issuer) the NAMES of those who got MMTLP to start trading? What's the big deal keeping you from sharing a couple of names like GTS with the issuer??? The public *and Congress* look forward to your transparent answers. And if you refuse to answer... respectfully, stop hiding behind the SEC's skirt, and immediately resign your position. Let someone else lead the @OTCMarkets before it is too late. @TheRobbCarter @denniskneale @SecKennedy @JDVance @cvpayne @PeteSessions @RepDonaldsPress @Jim_Jordan

$MMTLP New FOIA reveals OTC Markets President/CEO, Cromwell Coulson, reach out to former SEC Chief of Staff, Amanda Fischer, in a last minute preparation for SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s public discussion with Dave Lauer. His intent was CLEARLY to steer the narrative around MMTLP.

DrewDiligence@KarmaCollects·
After going through and comparing @FINRA's recent response to @RepRalphNorman's inquiry into $MMTLP, it's unmistakably clear that several crucial questions have been addressed with insufficient clarity, or left out entirely. While I'm sure that @bleedblue18 and the crew will tear apart the VERACITY of the claims that FINRA is making, here's a breakdown of these key issues FINRA failed to adequately address and/or blatantly left out of their letter: 1) Provide a timeline of trading of MMTLP on the OTC markets; the actions taken by the SEC, self-regulatory organizations, the issuers, the transfer agent, and any other relevant parties during the time MMTLP was traded, and the transaction that produced NBH shares. - The absence of a comprehensive timeline detailing the trading of MMTLP, actions by relevant parties, and the transaction leading to NBH shares is concerning. Such a timeline is essential for transparency, providing investors with a clear understanding of the sequence of events surrounding MMTLP's trading and the actions taken by regulatory bodies and market participants. Without this information, it is challenging to assess whether appropriate regulatory measures were taken to address any irregularities and ensure market integrity during MMTLP's trading period. Additionally, insight into the transaction producing NBH shares is crucial for understanding the distribution of shares and its impact on shareholders' interests. Overall, the lack of a detailed timeline deprives investors of critical information needed to assess the fairness and transparency of the trading process, regulatory oversight, and corporate actions related to MMTLP. 2) The Former CEO of Torchlight Energy Resources stated that “MMTLP was never designed to trade.” Please provide a detailed explanation, including the relevant statutory authority and procedures, that allowed for MMTLP shares to trade on the OTC market. - FINRA's response lacks clarity on the statutory authority or procedures enabling MMTLP shares to trade on the OTC market, especially given the above statement made by John Brda, the former CEO of Torchlight Energy Resources. Understanding the legal framework and regulatory mechanisms governing MMTLP's trading is crucial for all market investors to gauge the legitimacy and regulatory compliance of such activities. FINRA stated that "It does not appear that Meta Materials took effective steps to restrict public trading in MMTLP". They don't say they didn't take ANY steps, they only say that Meta Materials was not EFFECTIVE in the steps they took to restrict public trading. What FINRA does not specify, is what steps they would deem to have been effective. The investing public has already been told that both John Brda and Meta Materials reached out to FINRA to request that the trading be stopped, and both were told that FINRA's decision to allow the security to trade under the MMTLP symbol was FINAL. Without a clear explanation from FINRA, concerns and outcry will persist regarding the regulatory oversight and adherence to established procedures in permitting MMTLP shares to trade, particularly if the former CEO's assertion implies irregularities in the trading process. After 14 months of opacity, investors deserve transparency and assurance regarding the legal basis for MMTLP's trading status on the OTC market to make informed decisions about their investments. 3) Provide the relevant statutory authority, jurisdiction, and adherence to established industry standards regarding the U3 trading halt of MMTLP issued on December 9, 2022. - While FINRA provided some information, there are still gaps in understanding the statutory authority, jurisdiction, and adherence to industry standards regarding the halt. They have continuously referred to "uncertainty in the settlement and clearing process", however they neglect to mention that EVERY SINGLE MAJOR U.S. BROKER DEALER informed their clients that trades on 12/9 and 12/12 would be STRICTLY limited to closing orders ONLY. That means, NO BUYING. Understanding the legal basis and regulatory protocols governing such trading halts is vital for ensuring market integrity and investor protection. Without a clear explanation from FINRA that considers all of the above, concerns remain regarding the justification and regulatory compliance of the U3 trading halt, potentially leaving investors without the necessary confidence in the regulatory framework surrounding MMTLP trading activities. 4) Provide the exact date and circumstances surrounding FINRA’s determination to implement the U3 halt, including all unredacted communications between FINRA, SEC, governmental agencies, any outside organizations, FINRA members and non-FINRA members, and any other individuals. Also include all information surrounding the SEC or FINRA’s knowledge of the share price in any public or non-public exchange before issuance of the U3 halt. - While FINRA did touch upon the U3 trading halt in their response, the details provided were insufficient to fully understand the sequence of events leading to the halt. They did not offer specific dates, circumstances, or communications leading to the halt, nor did they provide information about the SEC or FINRA's awareness of share prices before the halt. In fact, not a SINGLE communication was offered. As a result, there remains a significant gap in understanding the decision-making process behind the trading halt and the regulatory oversight exercised by both the SEC and FINRA. 5) Provide the first date and time that FINRA or its agents advised any market participant in any manner that MMTLP would no longer trade on December 9, 2022. Include any relevant documents or communication. - FINRA's response lacks clarity regarding the specifics of when they first informed market participants about MMTLP's cessation of trading on December 9, 2022, and whether they provided relevant documents or communication to support this. While they mentioned their role in implementing the trading halt, they did not offer precise details about the initial communication with market participants, leaving uncertainty about the transparency and timeliness of their notifications regarding the halt. Considering that in the days prior to the halt, broker dealers, members of the investing public, and even the VP of the OTC Markets, Jeff Mendl, were all led to believe by FINRA that we would have until December 12th to close our positions, this is especially concerning. 6) Did FINRA issue a Blue Sheet request for MMTLP during the period of October 2021 through December 2022? Why or why not? - FINRA's response lacks clarity on whether they issued a Blue Sheet request for MMTLP during the specified period, despite the knowledge we learned via FOIA that they did request such data on December 5, 2022. Additionally, there is no explanation provided for why they pursued this avenue of inquiry, or what they learned FROM the blue sheets, leaving even further gaps in understanding regarding their investigative actions related to MMTLP trading. This information is crucial for transparency and accountability, as the issuance of a Blue Sheet request could shed light on the trading activity surrounding MMTLP and potentially uncover any irregularities or manipulative practices. Understanding why FINRA did not provide this information is essential for evaluating the thoroughness of their response and ensuring that all necessary steps were taken to investigate the trading activity in question. 7) How many questions, complaints, and/or inquiries have you received regarding MMTLP? - FINRA's response does not include a specific count or detailed information regarding the number of questions, complaints, and inquiries they received regarding MMTLP. Meanwhile, we KNOW that they track this information for their annual reports. Understanding the volume and nature of questions, complaints, and inquiries related to MMTLP is vital for assessing the extent of investor concern and market disruption caused by the trading activity surrounding this security. Without a clear account of the number and substance of these communications, it's challenging to gauge the severity of the situation and the adequacy of FINRA's response. This information is essential for ensuring that regulatory bodies are adequately addressing investor grievances and taking appropriate action to safeguard market integrity. 8) Provide the statutory or legal justification used by the SEC and FINRA to ignore public requests and congressional inquiries regarding MMTLP. - While they provided some information, there are still gaps in understanding the statutory authority, jurisdiction, and adherence to industry standards regarding the halt. There's no clear explanation provided by FINRA regarding the statutory or legal justification for the SEC and FINRA's handling of public requests and congressional inquiries concerning MMTLP. Understanding the statutory or legal justifications behind the handling of public requests and congressional inquiries concerning MMTLP is crucial for ensuring transparency and accountability in regulatory processes. Without clear explanations from FINRA, there may be concerns about the regulatory bodies' adherence to legal mandates, their responsiveness to public and congressional inquiries, and the fairness and consistency of their actions. Clarity on this matter is essential for upholding the principles of regulatory oversight and maintaining public trust in the regulatory framework. 9) Provide the delivery of a certified audited and consolidated count of shares that were held by all U.S. and foreign financial institutions, together with their clearing firm counterparties including trades not reported in the consolidated audit trail (CAT), related to MMTLP on the date of December 12, 2022... - Believe me, we're not surprised that this was avoided. That withstanding, it is important to note that the absence of a detailed and certified audited count of MMTLP shares held by financial institutions and counterparties raises concerns about the accuracy and transparency of the information provided by FINRA. Clarity and transparency in this regard are essential for ensuring market integrity and investor confidence, as well as for facilitating informed decision-making by all stakeholders involved. How can there be any confidence in the market if our regulators can not keep track of how many shares of a security are in circulation? When you are an SRO with absolute immunity that is tasked with providing transparency to the investing public, responding a request for the most quintessential form of transparency there is (a simple share count) by saying "we can't do that", is absolutely unacceptable. Full stop. 10) Have all MMTLP shareholders received their NBH shares? - What is perplexing is even though we already know the answer (NO), there's no explicit confirmation or denial provided by FINRA regarding whether all MMTLP shareholders received their NBH shares. The lack of explicit confirmation regarding the distribution of NBH shares to all MMTLP shareholders raises concerns about the completeness and accuracy of the corporate action process. Without clear assurance that all shareholders received their entitled NBH shares, there remains uncertainty and potential discrepancies in the distribution process. This ambiguity could undermine investor trust and confidence in the fairness and transparency of the market, highlighting the need for thorough and transparent communication regarding corporate actions and share distributions. 11) Do you have evidence to suggest the existence of fraud and manipulation related to MMTLP transactions, such as illegal forms of naked shorts and counterfeit shares, that could distort the market? - FINRA keeps saying that they have "found no evidence that there was significant naked short selling in MMTLP involving FINRA member firms at the end of its trading ". However, they do not expound upon what they deem as "significant". What does that mean? You found some? How much, exactly if you don't mind? While recent public relations from NBH have discussed attempts by short sellers to acquire more shares than reported currently short by FINRA, the lack of direct acknowledgment or evidence provided by FINRA regarding fraudulent activities surrounding MMTLP transactions raises concerns. The absence of clear confirmation or rebuttal regarding the existence of illegal naked shorts and counterfeit shares undermines investor confidence in the integrity of the market. Investors rely on regulatory bodies like FINRA to actively monitor and address instances of fraud and manipulation to ensure a fair and transparent trading environment. Therefore, the failure to provide conclusive information regarding these allegations leaves lingering doubts and underscores the need for thorough investigation and accountability measures to uphold market integrity. 12) Have you seen any indications of insider trading and/or pump and dump related to MMTLP transactions? - We know who submitted this question to Rep. Normans office, and we know why. What is curious to me is there's no explicit acknowledgment or denial by FINRA regarding indications of insider trading and/or pump and dump related to MMTLP transactions. FINRA's response to inquiries about potential insider trading and pump-and-dump schemes related to MMTLP transactions lacks any clarity, presumably to continue allow the perceived uncertainty related to this matter to linger. The absence of a clear acknowledgment or denial regarding these concerns leaves room for speculation and raises doubts about the effectiveness of regulatory oversight. It's crucial for FINRA to provide unequivocal statements regarding the presence or absence of insider trading and pump-and-dump activities to reassure investors and uphold the integrity of the market. While certain members of social media did TALK about this security through various mediums, we know there was NO concerted campaign to pump this security amongst insiders, and we know that none of them sold an amount of their position off that would justify the use of the word "dumped". Just come out and tell the public so that they can finally know it too. 13) Are your organizations willing to work with NBH to determine a resolution for existing shareholders? For example, some investors have expressed concern that, even though their brokerage account statements include shares of NBH in their account, these shares may not have actually been delivered to their broker-dealers. - This particular response is especially concerning. FINRA's response lacks a definitive statement regarding their willingness to collaborate with NBH to address investor concerns regarding the delivery of NBH shares. Investors who hold shares in NBH expect regulatory bodies to actively engage with issuers to ensure the fair and timely distribution of shares. The absence of a clear commitment from regulators to work with NBH (after 14 months of this issue persisting, mind you) to resolve these issues is absolutely egregious at this point, and raises questions about their dedication to investor protection and market integrity. It's imperative for FINRA to demonstrate a proactive approach to addressing investor concerns and facilitating communication between stakeholders to uphold transparency and trust in the market. 14) Identify any regulatory or legislative gaps that should be addressed to ensure the SEC, FINRA, and other regulated entities may better protect investors and strengthen market integrity. - FINRA's response fails to pinpoint regulatory or legislative gaps that could be addressed to enhance investor protection and strengthen market integrity, despite the specific inquiry. Identifying these gaps is crucial for regulatory bodies like FINRA to effectively fulfill their mission of safeguarding investors and maintaining fair and orderly markets. By highlighting areas where current regulations may fall short, FINRA could contribute to the development of targeted reforms that better address emerging challenges and risks in the market. The absence of such insights raises concerns about FINRA's ability to adapt to evolving market dynamics and adequately protect investors in the face of changing threats and vulnerabilities. Are we to believe that you did absolutely nothing wrong here? We're sorry but the extensive record clearly demonstrates otherwise. Overall, the tone and content of FINRA's response leave much to be desired in terms of addressing investor concerns and ensuring market integrity. While the response provides some information, it falls short in addressing key questions and providing sufficient clarity on critical issues surrounding MMTLP. Investors and stakeholders expect regulatory bodies like FINRA to be transparent, responsive, and proactive in addressing concerns related to market activities. However, the lack of comprehensive answers and detailed explanations in FINRA's response may further erode investor confidence and raise doubts about the effectiveness of regulatory oversight. As such, there remains a significant gap between the expectations of investors and the actual responsiveness of regulatory authorities, highlighting the need for greater transparency and accountability in regulatory practices. Bottom line: FINRA had the opportunity to methodically address each point raised in the letter, one by one. However, they chose to compile 16 pages of mostly insufficient responses, seemingly in an effort to sidestep or outright disregard the true essence of the inquiry. I've said this once, and I will say it again: @SECGov and FINRA: Get on the phone with Greg McCabe and resolve this issue. Because we are NOT GOING ANYWHERE... until this is resolved.

@zsaeed, $QNTM and a handful of others are fighting an asymmetric battle on behalf of EVERY public company. They deserve to be thanked, supported, and celebrated. If you’re a public-market CEO or Board member and think your company is immune… guess again. Remember, remember the 9th of December, the halt, the deception, the rot. On the eve of the 3rd anniversary of the #MMTLP fiasco, let’s stop pretending this was ever an isolated “one-off”. @FINRA In 2021 they stole the BUY button from @GameStop $GME investors... because enforcing Rule 15c3-3 would have exposed the shortfall. In 2022 they stole the SELL button from $MMTLP investors... because enforcing Rule 15c3-3 would have triggered mandatory buy-ins they couldn’t survive. Same playbook. Same pipes. Same back-office CARTEL! Two different tickers, one terrified network scrambling behind the plumbing… and hiding behind @SECGov’s skirt. Now, thanks to FOIA releases and some extraordinarily persistent shareholders, the real story is emerging, and the official version is about to look very stupid, very fast. What comes next will make a lot of very comfortable people… very uncomfortable. Some very polished institutions are about to discover what accountability actually feels like. #FAFO

The letter (below) to SEC from $QNTM is requesting Chairman Paul Atkins to reconsider his decision to delay the Short Disclosure Transparency Rule that was supposed to go into effect in February of 2026. We would like to encourage other CEOs and anyone who is in this fight against naked shorting/market manipulation to send similar letters by registered mail. Let’s all unite and become a voice that would be hard to ignore. I would like to personally thank @kshaughnessy2 and @FlyEaglesFly529 in guiding us on composing the letter and where to send it.

@rogerhamilton thanks to you and your board for this effort to expose what appears to be blatant corruption in our markets. It will be interesting to see if you get beyond MTD, if this will get to a jury trial or if the pressure to settle will be too great. The only way this stops is if there is a ruling by the jury and not a confidential settlement. Hopefully the mindset is to see it through.
Roger James Hamilton@rogerhamilton

After the filing of our $GNS lawsuit below, a message for our long-term shareholders: (1) First, THANK YOU for your ongoing support through the darkest days (and for those who lost and left, know the Class Action seeks to recover your losses during the Class Period from April 2022 to May 2025 - all of them for everyone - and this period may very well extend). (2) Second, this is just the FIRST MOVE. We are now going after the entire food chain, and we need your help: We are putting on notice ANY and ALL BROKERS who have TAKEN AWAY THE BUY BUTTON on $GNS (while keeping the sell button). We consider this to be ILLEGAL MARKET MANIPULATION and demand they immediately reinstate the buy button and provide all our investors with a fair market. We have had reports from our investors on the following brokers who have at some time or other taken away the buy button / forcing our $GNS investors to call in their buy orders while keeping the sell button, creating ongoing one-sided sell pressure of GNS shares: Robinhood @RobinhoodApp Schwab @CharlesSchwab Fidelity @Fidelity Vanguard @Vanguard_Group Interactive Brokers @IBKR If you are a client of one of these brokers (or others), could you please DROP A MESSAGE BELOW to let me know if - as of today - who your broker is and are you able to place a buy and sell order on $GNS with equal ease online? Or if you still have no buy button and find it much more difficult to buy vs sell your GNS shares? I'm looking for both positive feedback for those brokers who are delivering a fair market, as well as negative feedback for those who are still providing an imbalanced (and obviously unfair) trading experience. I've also copied in the X handles of the highlighted brokers above so the managers of those account have their own golden opportunity to drop a comment and give us good news you're responding to investors interests of a fair market. I'll be reading every comment. And we will be taking IMMEDIATE action (ie. BEFORE THE END OF THIS WEEKEND) against any and all brokers where we receive feedback their buy buttons on $GNS are still off. We will also give a thank you to each broker who has reconsidered / reinstated the buy button for $GNS. Please give your honest feedback. Don't worry about your broker getting mad at you. There is ZERO reason for any broker to deliver an imbalanced trading experience on $GNS that leads to market manipulation, whatever their excuse. In fact, it's illegal. Let's work together on this. Not just for you, or me, or Genius. Let's do this for a fair market - A clean, honest, transparent market. It's a long road. But together we can do this. Thank you!

Once this is over, I will never understand how MMTLP has gone 3 years without any Government action. No FBI, No SEC, No AGs, No FINRAOMBUDS, No Department of Justice, No Secret Service, No Congress, nothing. Just a bunch of appeasement letters and finger pointing. MMTLP has completely destroyed my trust in not only the US stock market, but many institutions, agencies, and even congressman. It is shameful and so disappointing that law enforcement and oversight allowed this to go unresolved for this long. All this crime in the markets, threatening the US economy, all of these companies over-leveraged, massive corruption, hundreds of billions of dollars stolen with all the counterfeiting. When it comes time for these crooks to pay the Piper, and square up on their debts, its game over. This whole house of cards is going to come caving in. This cannot, will not go on forever. Its only a matter of time. #FINRAfraud #MMTLPfiasco

Call for a Transparent, Public Congressional Hearing Given the latest ridiculous developments, I am prepared to participate in a public hearing in front of Congress if @FINRA, OTC Markets, the SEC, and all other relevant parties are also called to testify, covering all relevant dates and events, both pre- and post-merger. This must be a transparent, unscripted hearing, where: •No one takes the Fifth Amendment. •No one hides behind attorney-client privilege. •No prepared testimony. Each of us should sit, answer questions directly, and be cross-examined live on national television. In my case, I would arrive with nothing but my laptop to show contemporaneous emails and records on a large screen, free of “I don’t recall” answers. I estimate that 3–5 days would be enough to reveal the full pattern of misconduct (or corruption at the highest levels). Yes, I would be at the greatest disadvantage, as I am not a lawyer, not a native English speaker, and I have never participated in a trial or hearing. But that only underscores my commitment to full transparency. Why This Hearing Matters •The Gensler “lost messages” latest episode: We are told that the @SEC Chair’s communications during the exact period covering the U3 trading halt have vanished. Are we truly expected to believe this is coincidence? It looks more like a Hollywood script than reality. I dare say these missing messages likely contain evidence that Mr. Gensler knew far more than he disclosed to Congress… •The Trustee’s subpoena vs. FINRA’s motion to quash: If FINRA genuinely believed this was a simple “pump-and-dump” scheme orchestrated by insiders, why would they resist providing evidence? Why not help the Trustee by producing the data that could supposedly prove their point, eh? Instead, they are obstructing. That silence speaks volumes. •FINRA’s role: It is long past time for FINRA to stop hiding behind self-authored FAQs, opaque rules, and armies of lawyers. The public deserves to see who they are really protecting. I call upon: •The Administration and @POTUS •Investigative journalists •The FBI and State Attorneys General …to dig deeply into this case. Every new twist makes it more ridiculous, and more urgent. On Congressional Protocol While House and Senate committees traditionally require written testimony, and usually allow legal counsel and privilege claims, the Chair has authority to waive these rules in the interest of public transparency. It is rare for all parties to voluntarily waive privilege, but the public demand for full accountability in this case is overwhelming. So… let’s offer the American people the truth, uncensored, unfiltered and unscripted. Convenient narratives don’t change inconvenient facts about systemic misconduct. Meanwhile, when CEOs rely on their counsel, we are called naive or worse, but when regulators ‘lose’ the SEC Chair’s messages during the exact period of the U3 halt and other events (FTX), that’s just a technical glitch. Convenient. The truth is, I show up here with a laptop (which the former MMAT management moved into an undisclosed wooden crate… along with the company server to potentially “lose them”forever under one of the business unit sales… Mr CEO Uzi Sasson should have taken notes from Gensler… Uzi bud… I think your time is coming soon). FINRA and the SEC show up with armies of lawyers, motions to quash, and selective amnesia. If that’s not a Hollywood script, I don’t know what is.

FINRA is trying to quash or limit subpoenas filed in the $MMAT bankruptcy case. Why don't FINRA executives and members want to explain under oath why 65,000 people have had their investments in $MMTLP, $MMAT or $TRCH frozen for nearly three years? Jeffrey Stephen Pittman says more than $50,000 he invested has been frozen since FINRA halted trading of $MMTLP in December 2022 $MMTLP was a dividend that was never supposed to trade. FINRA is fighting efforts to reveal, under oath, who got it to trade and who was involved in decisions to halt trading. Pittman believes the subpoenas issued by the Chapter 7 Trustee are essential to uncover the truth behind these market events, and he is concerned that FINRA’s motion to quash will kill any chance for investors to find out what really happened. @kkep @anna_trades

FINRA’s motion to quash was expected, but I have to admit it is HILARIOUS. 🤣 Beyond the twisted lies and throwing in the kitchen sink in utter desperation in this doc… the FEARLESS “self-regulator” just sprinted past the Nevada bankruptcy court straight into D.C.’s arms. 🏃‍♂️💨 🤡 BAHHAHAHAh! Running home to D.C. make sense I guess ⁉️😂 … it is where the emails and trading data are archived, and their “supporters” know which files not to open! 🗄️🔥 FOIAs gave us the receipts. Nevada has the questions. Nothing says confidence in your position like running to DADDY when the grown-ups start asking questions. #FINRA Funniest part? the only thing they are “self” regulating, is how fast they can run from real scrutiny while trying to limit the narrative to MMTLP, as if this was a one off event. The difference between us is I welcome scrutiny ;-) Now run to your daddy and please ask this for me: to make ALL MMATF/MMAX/MMAT/TRCH/MMTLP COMPANY EMAILS (sent to and responded by FINRA+OTC) publicly available, just like you did with NBH (showing a fraction of the real communications), leading to the merger (period 1), the start of the MMTLP (period 2) and the NBH spin off (period 3)… Your failures are continuous, pre-merger and transcend one issuer, it is widespread. We have all the receipts. Let’s see… which of your clients- “members” - are behind the systemic market manipulation, especially surrounding the OTC market? Perhaps start with the ones on the UPC committee during the relevant period…you know, the ones who’ve magically vanished from view…😂 On a serious note: @FINRA is the only entity holding consolidated data across all brokers/venues… more efficient than broker-by-broker subpoenas. This case represents a watershed moment for market integrity and regulatory accountability. FINRA's motion to quash is not about protecting legitimate regulatory interests, it's about concealing evidence in one of the most sophisticated market manipulation schemes in modern history, one that has cost the Meta Materials estate $ billions of dollars, while enriching the very firms that sat on FINRA's board! You cannot run from this. Fix it. #RunFINRARun #RegulatoryUsainBolt #PoultryRegulator #CluckCluckCapture

So, are retail investors and issuers "fucked"? If we are being blunt, structurally, yes… unless we change the race TRACK itself. We should be pushing towards a future where domestic and global markets are running on blockchain-based, deterministic matching engines with verified time stamps, public audit trails, and hard-coded latency floors. Everyone gets the same start light. 🚨 No more invisible jets lapping the field before the green flag drops. Which brings me to the regulators: 1. How do you justify letting nanosecond trading operate alongside retail without a common rulebook? 2. How is it legal that co-location, FPGA super-fast hardware, and private data feeds give certain players an unassailable structural edge? 3. Why is blockchain market infrastructure not being mandated when it could remove these asymmetries entirely? And most importantly, if fairness and transparency is truly your mandate, why are you still running a race you know retail and issuers cannot win? Fix it. Without speed equalizers (like enforced latency floors, true transparency on order flow, and access parity to market data), the outcome is predetermined... -Retail will always be late to the move. -Issuers will always be ghosted when trying to expose manipulation. -The “winners” will always be those with the multi-million-dollar tech, proximity, and influence to bend the system to their speed. And the regulators? They’ll always be there to hand out a few “speeding tickets” to keep up appearances but never to actually close the track i.e. #FINRA It’s not that retail and issuers can’t participate, it’s that they’re permitted to play only in the parts of the game where they cannot ACTUALLY win. The golden days of Wall Street are over; Welcome to High-frequency #SpoofStreet Era! #CoLocateAndCoCorrupt #LatencyLaundering #GreedInOverdrive #RiggedTrackFINRA

📢 I AM NOT SUICIDAL
I am a whistleblower exposing massive financial corruption—market manipulation, regulatory fraud, and the theft of America’s pensions. I filed a federal RICO case that was forced into private arbitration, despite the systemic issues it uncovered. I have submitted evidence to Congress, the DOJ, and regulators. Due to escalating threats and psychological manipulation, I have filed an official police report and will continue updating it to document all concerns. This step was taken to protect myself, my children, and the work I’ve done to expose the truth. My report uncovers how FINRA-operated dark pool venues—including OTCBB, OOTC, and XADF—are laundering counterfeit shares, hiding failed trades, and offloading synthetic exposure into pensions, 401(k)s, IRAs, TSPs, and ETFs. These practices are destroying U.S. companies, jobs, and retirement savings—while regulators look the other way. I love my children, my family, and my friends—and I deeply value my life.
I AM NOT SUICIDAL.
If anything happens to me, it is not by my choice. I am doing this for everyone. I have been targeted and manipulated, but I will not be silenced.
Please share this post.
Making this public and visible helps protect me—and it would mean a great deal just knowing people are aware and standing beside me. #Whistleblower #IAmNotSuicidal #MMTLP #FINRA #SEC #MarketCorruption #ProtectWhistleblowers
$MMAT $DJT $FNGR $GTII $QNTM $GME $AMC $BBBY $TSLA $SUNE — and thousands more are being attacked and destroyed through synthetic shares and unregulated dark pool venues. @JamesOKeefeIII @RealAlexJones @TuckerCarlson @kshaughnessy2 @FlyEaglesFly529 @BAMinvestor @Hamnakedshorts @FBIDDBongino @AGPamBondi @POTUS @elonmusk @MarioNawfal
