What could possibly go wrong with getting rid of the one check that helps prevent widespread investment fraud? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Nothing. That’s why Trump wants to do it.

They're suggesting switching it to 6 months, not removing it completely. I can't speak for other countries, but in Norway it happens annually, and I highly doubt Norway has more investment fraud than the US.

I think this might actually be a good thing. C-suite only caring about short-term profits to look good for the next quarterly report causes a lot of short-sighted decisions.
