I have asked this of a few that faced some of these brokers in court, and won. Why isn't the "Femia letter" the arrow in the Achilles heel for all?
Sure, it takes the proper deliverer with the right connections, and money, and maybe the Megas accusations, but we seemed so close once of twice over the last 19 years.
As far as brokers, when I asked for my certs, they said send them thousands, and they would see what they could do. Soon after when I couldn't come up with the thousands they erased my shares with the reasoning of cleaning up my 0 value shares. Funny thing is I have 0 value shares that are older than my BCIT shares, and they are still there.
Oh well.
If I only had more time.
