A federal court judge ruled that these emojis 🚀📈💰objectively mean "one thing: a financial return on investment." Users of these emojis are hereby warned of the legal consequence of their use. #emojis #rocketshipemoji #DapperLabs

This is not an SEC case. The SEC is not arguing that these emojis mean anything. I included a link to the decision and a screenshot of the statement so everyone could decide what this means. In my humble opinion, I think the judge painted with too broad a brush.
The fact that a judge overstates something in a decision is no reason to insult the judge or conclude the apocalypse is nigh. It is not the end of free speech. This is a decision showing that emojis used by these folks meant an expectation of profit. All is not lost folks.

There is a way for #Apes to have a direct effect on the brokerage industry in the short term. Become a FINRA arbitrator. In many cases, the list of arbitrators that we get when representing a customer is filled with industry folks. We need you. finra.org/arbitration-me…
"As a FINRA arbitrator, you have the opportunity to develop skills, give back and supplement your income. No previous arbitration, securities or legal experience is required to apply—just five years of paid work experience and two years of college-level credits." /1
"FINRA arbitrators listen to both sides of a securities-related dispute, weigh the facts and render a final and binding decision. Arbitrators are paid an honorarium for the cases on which they serve. FINRA arbitrators are independent contractors, not FINRA employees." /2

How unfair is FINRA arbitration? Court decision shows how corrupt FINRA's dispute resolution process is. Broker attorney manipulated arb selection process, then benefited from arbitrators refusing to hear investor evidence & more. #investorprotection

Wells Fargo's attorney had a secret agreement with FINRA that certain arbitrators would not even appear on the list of potential arbitrators.
