More obfuscation, Doctor. I pay only $8 per transaction to TD Ameritrade but they told me that there was a fee of about $400 to release those crummy shares levied, not by my broker, but by the issuing agent.
It was, as accurately described here previously, a way to give free shares to large shareholders (i.e. hedge funds) and further hoodwink small shareholders such as myself into thinking there was goodwill coming from management.
In my estimation (IMHO if you must), DECN management is as dishonest of a company as I have ever invested in.
