Just a few points:

The Biden administration had a $25 million bounty for information leading to the arrest of Maduro.

According to one Venezualan nationalist commenting yesterday (https://twitter.com/i/status/2007470498196729957)

This is a message for my American friends watching the news today in English. There is a serious inaccuracy in the coverage. Venezuela is not undergoing a regime change. Venezuela already has a democratically elected president. Edmundo González. He is the president. Nicolás Maduro is not the president. He never was. He stole the last election and led a criminal organization linked to terrorism and drug trafficking. El Cartel de Los Solis. And today, thanks to the vision and courage of the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the decisive leadership of President Donald Trump, and the actions of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, the United States has finally recognized a fundamental truth: Protecting our hemisphere from terrorism, drug cartels, and authoritarian ideologies is a matter of national security for the United States.

According to Bloomberg News, Venezuelan journalist Mariana Atencio declared that Maduro's arrest is not about regime change, and it is not about "blood for oil"; it is a humanitarian crisis and a catastrophe for which the actions of the Trump administration have created a bulwark against the flood. In addition, she said:

This is about us as a nation wanting to come back to the fold of Western democratic nations and to the values that those nations represent, and I believe it is in the interest of the United States and every single American citizen to want that as well. We have tried by every means necessary, including democratic means to get rid of this regime.

Part of the problem is that many consumer-related companies seem to have taken to hiding their phone numbers (customer service or otherwise) from the web. It makes it easy for a scammer to pop up as the only phone number to be found. It happened to me when I was at a wedding reception and an emergency change of travel plans popped up. I needed to call Delta and couldn't easily find a contact number, so I stupidly did a Google search. Standing there in a crowd, I wasn't diligent and got scammed. Thankfully, Delta eventually cleaned up the mess for me.

Instead of adding random delays (which might introduce their own workarounds), just quantize the trading intervals. All trades that occur within some time interval would use the stock value at the start of that interval. Make the interval one second -- that would be fair to everyone.
