How difficult is it to understand that any shares issued are done so in exchange for something else.

In Bodies case, he was awarded CASH in the form of a restored debenture. To convert that debenture to CASH, he would accept common shares. The cost basis is what the exchange rate will be.

Excuse me if I don't entertain any more nonsense about "zero cash basis shares". There is no such thing unless shares are stolen or counterfeit, PERIOD.
