That is most definitely not a stock certificate. I can clearly read the words "certificate of deposit" in boldface at the top of the document. It takes a little doing but it also says that it is a certificate of deposit issued in lieu of an actual stock certificate in the body of text. What company and the amount of shares are irrelevant. What you said cannot happen...happened. I pray that you are more prescient in your view of the potential for our economic destruction.
