Simply put, the judge should immediately put a stop to new applications. It’s obvious the corporations (likely Revel and Hertz) are playing games with applications for vehicles that don’t exist at the moment, meaning they don’t have legitimate VIN numbers and are just submitting applications with phantom, made-up VIN numbers. These applications, too, should be denied as they are making a mockery of the judge’s order and the spirit of these applications are to circumvent the judge’s intentions. At the end of the day it looks like there will be a stay issued by the judge that actually had no teeth and, in fact and counterintuitively, only accelerated the problem at hand: the over-saturation of FHV vehicles in the NYC market. Not since the 1930s have we had a problem like this that the very agency (the TLC) that was supposed to have prevented it is actually responsible for it. Absolutely incredible.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought this could ever happen. The whole thing has just seems surreal and, as someone who has studied economics, I am incredulous to the denial and ignorance of basic economic principles. The depth of stupidity is so stunning that the ONLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION is that there has been some form of CORRUPTION to have made people made decisions that will eventually ruin many drivers earnings, livelihoods, and possibly even their lives (suicides all over again). Considering that the FBI is now seriously investigating the actual Mayor, it’s possible the other parts of City government (including the TLC) are compromised because as the prophetic statement goes, ‘a fish rots from the head down.’
I've been driving for 20 years I don't own my plates I wanted a EV but the lack of infrastructure put me off buying one, will commissioner Do be held accountable for the mess he's created!

Why once the Stop Order is given should there be a deadline days in advance. It should be immediate!
