            SEC cracking down on SPAC:

            https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/21/spac-transactions-come-to-a-halt-amid-sec-crackdown-cooling-retail-investor-interest.html

            “The SEC issued accounting guidance that would classify SPAC warrants as liabilities instead of equity instruments.”

            “SPAC mania has come to a screeching halt.”
