SEC Chair Gary Gensler is now dodging MMTLP inquires from Congress after several letters have been sent without any update or response for the general public.
Congressmember Barbara Lee is the latest member of congress to request answers from Chairman Gensler on MMTLP.
On Monday, December 4, she sent the following letter:
“I am writing regarding an action taken by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on META Material’s Series A Preferred Shares (MMTLP).
This has been brought to my attention by a number of my constituents who have expressed concerns with the holding and status of their MMTLP shares.
On December 8th, 2022, FINRA halted trading of MMTLP and announced deletion of the MMTLP symbol five days later.
My constituents have expressed that as a result, they were left without clarity on the future of their investments.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and FINRA have a responsibility to protect investors and safeguard the integrity of our public markets.
Given the financial distress constituents have experienced because of these decisions, I want to ensure that market decisions are being made by regulators in an efficient and transparent manner.
I request that you fully investigate the events surrounding the trading halt of MMTLP and ensure no wrongdoing took place.
Furthermore, I request that you make nay findings publicly available and that you to provide clear guidance to my constituents about what they should expect to occur regarding their current MMTLP holdings and under what timeline they should expect a resolution to take place.
I also ask that you identify any regulatory or legislative gaps that could be addressed to better protect investors and market integrity.”
In November, two letters were sent to both the SEC Chair and FINRA CEO on by two different members of Congress.
As of today, no public announcement has been made by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on his findings regarding the inquires from Congress and retail investors.
This is a developing story.
