Why mess with all this shit unless you're trying to retroactively justify a really heavy bag you're holding.
If you invest in good companies making good profits you don't have to care about any of this stuff. Free yourself, you have nothing to lose but your bags
You literally produced 0 arguments. Market maker is pretty irrelevant to the situation influential institution who's goals are aligned with other major players having pull on DTCC actions would be more relevant. I again have not dug in too much as was not relevant to me but looked fairly suspicious. I have direct knowledge of relevant situation where investment bank arm or top 5 US bank had Knight Capital Group type moment. They had enough pull to make all transactions not clear and get unwound so exerting that type of influence would not surprise me.
