¶ Some Tricksters' Tricks with RESTRICTED stock...

I bet McBride knows about this Trick...

Restriction for Insiders/Affiliates is 2 years and 1 year for non Insiders... However, Insiders often DISCOUNT (50%) their RESTRICTED shares to specialized Brokerages in Canada for CASH... These Brokerages in turn short the stock, using the Restricted Certs as collateral for cover...

Here is another trick: Pledge your restricted shares as collateral for a Cash Loan, then default on the Loan... The Creditor can then easily obtain a Court Order to have the Restriction lifted and sell the previously UNSALEABLE RESTRICTED shares... Proceeds get divided by Agreement...

But, there is no teaching Tricks to an Old Monkey...
