According to @rogerhamilton, CTVNews, CTV Toronto, and QuantumBP released a series highlighting spoofing, illegal shorting, and market manipulation to raise public awareness (source: @rogerhamilton on X, Nov 30, 2025). Spoofing, defined as placing bids or offers with the intent to cancel before execution, is prohibited under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act 7 U.S.C. 6c(a)(5)(C) and enforced by the CFTC as a manipulative and disruptive practice (source: U.S. CFTC; 7 U.S.C. 6c(a)(5)(C)). Illegal short selling, including failures to locate or close out, violates the U.S. SEC’s Regulation SHO and anti-fraud provisions under Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, impacting borrow requirements and settlement discipline for traders (source: U.S. SEC, Regulation SHO; Securities Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5). For equities and crypto traders, monitoring order-book cancellation patterns and verifying stock borrow availability aligns with regulator and exchange rules targeting manipulation, and major crypto venues explicitly ban spoofing and abusive shorting in their market integrity policies (source: U.S. SEC, Regulation SHO; Coinbase Exchange Rulebook on Prohibited Trading Activities).

According to @rogerhamilton, Genius Group (GNS) plans to file its market-manipulation case this week after 1,000 days of collecting data and evidence. Source: @rogerhamilton on X, Nov 9, 2025. According to @rogerhamilton, SEC chair Paul S. Atkins told Charles Payne on Fox Business that the SEC is conducting a spring cleaning, has active surveillance and the tools to address dark pools, synthetic shares, and illegal shorting, and aims to protect investors.

According to @rogerhamilton, the stated filing window creates a near-term legal catalyst for GNS trading and centers attention on short interest dynamics and broker-dealer compliance tied to the cited practices.

According to @rogerhamilton, the enforcement stance described by the SEC chair highlights heightened oversight of manipulation across securities markets, a posture relevant to SEC-regulated digital asset securities and crypto-exposed equities that intersect with SEC jurisdiction.
