While everyone is getting PAID....I'm getting this gobble-dee-gook.


Thank you for contacting TD Ameritrade concerning BITCF. TD Ameritrade has made the business decision to not allow opening transactions on this security. While we cannot go into the specific reasons for this restriction, we strongly believe it's in the best interests of our clients and our firm. You can still place closing transactions if you currently hold a position in this security.

Some of the possible reasons a stock may be restricted to Closing Transactions only include:

- Corporate Actions in which a lack of information, confusing terms, or unclear objectives may be involved. All corporate actions should be transparent as to objectives.
- Apparent or possible fraudulent activity by a company or its officers, with potentially manipulative actions to affect a stock price.
- Frequent unsubstantiated press releases in an attempt to affect the stock's price.
- Deceptive or contradictory statements regarding past or projected performance.
- Corporate Identity Theft
- Valid companies associated with 3rd parties (i.e. transfer agents, consultants, etc.) that have shown a predisposition to any of the above activities.

Some of the criteria NOT used to make this decision include:

- Stock price of this security
- Positions of our clients and the firm (TD Ameritrade does not participate in the trading of non-listed securities in its own account for the purpose of making a profit.)

Again, I cannot go into detail with you why this decision was made. I can tell you that we take the decision to restrict trading very seriously. Both you and TD Ameritrade take on risk whenever a security is traded. While you may be willing to accept any risk associated with this security, there are certain business risks TD Ameritrade chooses not to accept. While all trading of securities involves risk, sometimes the level of risk associated with a specific security is escalated beyond what is considered reasonable to TD Ameritrade.

At this time, there is not a set timeline for when/if the restriction will be removed. If you have any further questions or concerns please reply to this message or contact a TD Ameritrade Client Service representative.
