Here is the email response I got from Atrade. I had to use few choice words to get their response...
Dear Mr. XXXXXXX,
We do understand your concern regarding the summons you received; however, TD AMERITRADE route orders placed to the appropriate market makers to be filled. We do not sell shares from our own inventory. We are unable to provide any information regarding the summons you received. The purchase was legitimate and the shares were placed in your account. I would suggest that you contact the firm that summon you to inquire on the condition of the summons. According to news on Ant & Sons web site, http://www.antandsons.com/2005/08/bancorp-international-halted-on.html, which is not an affiliate of TD AMERITRADE, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the temporary suspension, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), of trading of the securities of Bancorp International Group, Inc. ("BCIT"), a Nevada corporation, at 9:30 a.m. on August 31, 2005, and terminating at 11:59 p.m. on September 14, 2005. The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of BCIT because it appears that all of the securities currently trading in the name of Bancorp International Group, Inc. ("BCIT") and purportedly signed by Thomas Megas as President and M. Puig as Secretary are counterfeit. BCIT is quoted on the Pink Sheets LLC. This is the first time the Securities and Exchange Commission has directly took action on counterfeit shares that have flooded the market. Please be aware that as stated in the TD AMERITRADE Terms and Conditions, TD AMERITRADE accounts are self-directed. TD AMERITRADE clients are solely responsible for any and all orders placed in their account(s).

Please review the OTCBB Securities Trading Rules (found online in the Help Center, under the link Privacy, Security, and Other Important Information) carefully to determine if investing in these securities is appropriate for your investment goals, financial resources, risk tolerance, and experience. Because accounts with TD AMERITRADE are self-directed, please review the Terms and Conditions of your account and perform your own due diligence before investing in any security. TD AMERITRADE does not provide investment advice; therefore, any investment decision made or strategy utilized is done at the discretion and risk of the client. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
