Bill Singer's Comment
OMG!!! Did FINRA actually write "forged"?  For a long time I've been complaining about the array of euphemisms that FINRA used to avoid calling this spade and spade, and now, we finally have it in plain English. Geez, if FINRA keeps improving at the pace that this October report suggests, I may actually have more nice than nasty things to say about the regulator.
