The DTCC issue is not at all common but broker-dealers restricting buys but not sells is not. Broker-dealers who see risk in the company actions will stop shareholders from buying stock. Could be because of the delays in clearance from the DTCC. They do not stop their current shareholders from selling because - well they bought those for their shareholders. I learned all of this the hard way years ago.

It could be that this DTCC issue is old and that is why you see no FTD data - they can't report was is not clearing thru the CNS system (i.e. not an issue regarding non-reporting but an issue of not DTC eligible). FTD's are reports based on DTC eligible trade settlements.
