I also had a market order to sell 6 AMZN FEB 120 PUTS that I placed at 2pm.

The OI is 1300 on those puts, but the market order expired unexecuted at 4pm. The spread was so absurdly wide (10 3/8 - 13 1/2) that nobody would buy, and obviously the market maker failed to provide any liquidity by meeting the market bid price.

If this continues it will be impossible to trade these securities.

What can be done about this? Any way to trade without these market makers?

Do you have a phone number? I'd be perfectly willing to spend a few hours on the phone to have these fraud artists thrown in jail, or at least slapped with fines for the fraud they are committing.
