Today’s press conference in front of the SEC featured information and testimonials from investors.

Despite some weird rock music during the first 13 minutes that hindered the hearing of some information, the press conference led by Ann Vandersteel effectively highlighted the fiasco.

The livestream recording is available at the link below and is available through STEEL NEWS on YouTube, Twitter (X), and other platforms.

The presser lasted just about an hour and featured heart-wrenching investor stories from community members like BusyBrands, Jen Kapela, and more. The audience Q&A section received no questions.

Several investors were in the crowd as well, and were brought up in front of the camera at the end in a moment of silence to honor those shareholders who have passed.

MMTLP Investors to Hold Press Conference at SEC Demanding Accountability for Historic Market Failure

MMTLP PRESS CONFERENCE PRESS RELEASE

Ann Vandersteel has confirmed the January 12, 2026 press conference in front of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding MMTLP.

Just before Christmas, we posted that a press conference was being planned for January. We now have confirmation that it is happening on January 12th at 10AM EST.

This press conference will not only be for MMTLP, but also other stock communities that have been harmed by illegalities such as GME/AMC/DJT. There’s power in numbers! And MMTLP has the proof.

What can you do to help?

1. Share this information with your local and national media.
2. Call/Write/Email Congress and make sure they and/or their office staff attend
3. Attend yourself for support

Ann is providing the platform for us to get noticed. Make sure you do your part by spreading the word about this event so our story of fraud, corruption, and collusion at the highest levels gets out.

INSEINE hosted an action space regarding the press conference, you can review the recording with the link here.

Ann Vandersteel is planning a news conference event in front of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During an appearance on The Robb Carter Show, Vandersteel said she is working to secure permits to hold the event on January 12, 2026, with the goal of publicly addressing the MMTLP situation.

She plans to bring members of the MMTLP community to share their personal hardships. She also intends to include representatives from aligned communities, such as GME and AMC, as well as potentially someone connected to Donald Trump’s DJT stock, which has also faced persistent short selling.

I want people represented, I want their stories told, and I want us to deliver hard and high impact questions to the SEC, to FINRA and to Congress.

—–Ann Vandersteel

If successful, this is our chance to get our story spread far and wide and to hopefully bring the mainstream media on board. We’re quite sure FOX Business Advocate Charles Payne will send a crew like he did the last time MMTLP was there.

MMTLP was last at the SEC just weeks after the U3 halt as part of Occupy SEC back in January 2023.

New MMTLP advocate Ann Vandersteel appeared on the Robb Carter show and they go great together.

Two of the communities more recent allies appeared together on Robb Carter’s radio program The Rob Carter Show.

The Robb Carter Show airs on local St. Louis radio stations 101.9 FM and 94.1 FM, streams online, and is also available as a podcast.

Carter became a community advocate in May 2025 after learning about the MMTLP situation and inviting community member Junk Savvy onto his program. Since then, he has continued to dig deeper into the issue, including attempting to secure assistance from local Representative Ann Wagner, with little success. He later featured Torchlight CEO John Brda on the show and has remained committed to educating his audience about the injustices surrounding MMTLP and broader problems within the stock market.

Ann Vandersteel is a well-known independent journalist and information correspondent. In recent weeks, she has closely examined the MMTLP issue and used her large social media platform to amplify awareness far beyond what the community could reach on its own.

Vandersteel plans to hold a press conference in front of the SEC in January. Together, her voice and Carter’s have become powerful advocates for the MMTLP community.

A roughly 30-minute segment of The Robb Carter Show brings together these two journalists, both trusted voices within the community, for a focused & aligned discussion on MMTLP.
