The next market fraud with NS is in the making (NYCB)

[Quanto]

The next market fraud by suddenly declaring option strikes as "Non Standard (NS)" is in the making, IMO.
I saw this scheme too often! The outcome is sure: big losses for the current holders!.. b/c such NS strikes stop being served by the market makers!... And that's the true intent of this whole crime action, IMO.

NSstrikes stop being served by the market makers

Non standard strikes are still quoted by MM's. Customers can also open orders here as well (if their broker does not prohibit). Liquidity may fall as new trades are generally in the standard options.
