FINRA had to know how ARS were being marketed to the public, they bought $650 million off someone. They couldn't have missed it, it's there mandate to know. So did they withhold this info from the public? Why? If FINRA didn't understand the risk, and they didn't know what they were buying, why? Were ARS misrepresented to them? How could anyone say the public should have known what they were buying when FINRA didn't? Was the marketing so slick they fooled FINRA? What purpose did ARS serve in the FINRA portfolio? Why did they sell all of their holdings shortly before the market collapsed? Is there a connection between there involvement in ARS and their lack of effort in helping the rest of us? Why is FINRA late in filing their 2008 Financial? There is a thousand more questions we need answered. Everyone involved should be looking under every stone until every question is adequately answered. Thank you for finding and publishing this information.
