You are correct in that it went dark some time ago. In fact, at the very same time, I could not even place a sell order through my own brokerage house just for the simple sake of eating the loss and offloading the remaining shares that I was stuck with. I was just trying to remove the ugly from my portfolio... like who wants to be reminded everytime they scroll past that and onto something else? Anyway, I figured those shares would eventually disappear along with the removal of NEWL’s ticker symbol from the exchange. However, that removal never occurred. At the time, I also entertained the idea of placing a buy order, just to absorb the full paper value of the remaining DARK company’s shares at less than $2,000. But the brokerage house would not allow me to purchase those during NEWL’s dark age either. However, some time ago (maybe 10 months or more) the ticker switched to NEWLF, and shares of this company became buyable and sellable, again.
So.. However that happens at a time when such a company has disappeared among the Greys, I remain uncertain. But I did take that as an indicator that somebody kept this company alive. Why on Earth anyone else would’ve done that still beats the $hit out of me. But to this day, and maybe I’m wrong, I suspect that it was either Zolotas returning to the scene of his crime (LOL!) or TransAsia securing what now appears could be necessary for their own recovery. I really don’t know any other way how the authorities could’ve caught Zolotas. But with names such as Mark ‘Lucky’ Burdon [arranged in any order] for a business partner, I mean.. the dumba$$ may as well have used Bernie Madoff, had that name not already been taken. This is just great entertainment at this point. But yeah, I don’t believe a brokerage house is legally allowed to fill buy and sell orders for shares of DARK company stock. One pretty much has to hit the pavement and physically meetup with the Devil in order for that type of exchange/transfer to occur. I could be wrong though as regulations get lifted more often than they are applied.
