Yep, The TA csrs play dumb or are dumb, they claim the company has not given them that info, For the second call i made the fellow even went off and talked to the supervisor and got the same BS.
I do not think they are an outright scam due to the high profile and reputation of the management but they have to be diluting regardless.
What do you mean by this -> "trying to suck him out."
edit- got an email reply
"Please be advised in receive the outstanding share information you must contact the company directly at 109 North Post Oak Lane, Suite 422; Houston, TX 77024."
In the end, remember who and what led you down the path.
