LOL, I had a friend who had a Vonage account in the name Captain Kangaroo. He told all his friends to give him money to pool into the IPO. Then he obtained a tax ID number for Captain Kangaroo to try to get the shares, but the system wanted an SSN, no commercial accounts. He logs into Vonage and changes the account to his real name. He goes into the pre-IPO website and it has his first name and Kangaroo as the last name. So he spends like three hours on the phone trying to get it fixed. They tell him he had to be the customer at the time, blah blah, he says it was his nickname, all this garbage. Finally, they fix it. So he's ready to go, ready to invest everyone's money into Vonage. He's going to bid for the maximum amount of shares you could buy pre-IPO. He says, "It's gonna triple in a month, another GOOG."
At the last minute, he just didn't do it. Didn't know why, just didn't do it. Gave everyone their money back.
