I would say no. Other than custody, the DTC, with the help of the NASD, dumped this back into the hands of the brokerages.
NASD even told the brokerages to verify their share positions with the Transfer Agent.
That why I keep posting: Have the Transfer Agent notify anyone if there is a failure to deliver. There has been no notification yet. No "blue-sheet" warning to all broker-dealers.
