nwsun, I think the problem IS with the brokers and here is why:
imsoweary stated he requested his certs more than a month ago from his broker, Ameritrade. Keep in mind it took over a month for them to reply. Why? A half truth? What if the broker does have some of the old certs but they are counterfeit certs? Ameritrade tries to send them to the TA in order to get the new certs but the TA is on to the problem of counterfeit certs and refuses to issue new certs. Would not the broker then be correct in saying the TA refuses to issue new certs? Yes, they would. So they are not lying but they are not telling the whole truth either. Is Ameritrade going to admit they have counterfeit certs? I highly doubt it as they would prove Megas's argument.
