Sage, The answer to your question, “wouldn’t it be a simple exercise to tally up the shares versus the official outstanding shares and bring that to the SEC’s attention?” is two parts:

1. The actual vote numbers are hidden. NWBO is not able to see those “extra” naked shares voting and has no access, so it would not be able to tally and submit it to the SEC.
See “Side notes: trimming services” at bottom of this 4/28/26 post:

(In other words, the system treats “over-voting” as a processing error rather than evidence of potential criminal activity, ie a way to by-pass SEC laws, ie the FTD reporting clock.)

2. When retail buys through a brokerage, they are buying a legal claim to a mark-to-market financial asset. It is not a specific stock certificate number. They do sum up the number of shares, but it is substantially ownership of a dollar amount.
I explain this in a post to Gary on 4/25/26:
