A louder voice regarding dealer broker s role as gatekeepers and the problematic terms of service they keep inking for retail to consent to is needed
Along with the question so why aren’t those who ink the industry codes of conduct still not bothering to compare what dealer brokers are setting out (the are deceptively worded liability disclaimers) against what the regulators are inking
So that the regulators can detect the disconnect and enforce their statutes.
