RE:Instinet washtradersUnfortunately there is no penalty for stock manipulation anymore. Our regulators are the worst of any major exchange. If you look at their fines and prosecutions just last year alone, it's embarrassing! There is no reason to not break the law when you make millions and total fines for last year were a few thousand dollars. A total joke. Best job in the world. It would be great to know what these regulators are doing all day, not work anyways.
