In which case of course the trading has to happen on totally unaudited, unauditable exchanges like Bittrex’ (GME:USDT) pair and settled on the blockchain - which is absolute free for all in terms of shenanigans.

Blockchain doesn’t keep up with Bitcoin trading either, but you can always withdraw your assets to a private wallet and not have to worry about getting Mt. Gox’d. There’s no way to “withdraw” securities from the opaque financial system, so you are always at risk of fraud.

I guess why that’s why there’s never any fraud in the blockchain ecosystem
