It the company is selling discounted restricted 144 paper, the certificates take at least six months before they can be deposited in a brokerage to convert to free trading, and then there's stock used to barter for goods, and services as well, discounted lower than face value too.
And they won't show up for several months either.
So the company refusing to allow ANYONE to know the current Outstanding Share Structure which consists of Free Trading/Float & Restricted Shares are only cheating their current or future investors out of the ability to know what they're getting themselves into, and that has little to do with the products themselves.
It's all about the pps.
That's why they wouldn't YET be showing up in daily trading, but someone knows what those numbers are.
