I have found 5 resumption of DTC services none of them are CBAI, the claim by the company is of course "chill" has been lifted, but no notice of a chill exists.
In fact the only thing that currently exists is a reorganization notice, which possibly may remove the other notices since they would no longer apply. But there is no way to confirm historical data being removed on name changes.
It is a claim by another sleazy OTC Pink called BCAP who claims to be setting up clearing and settlement services for non DTCC eligible companies. Their CEO stated that a name/symbol change allows a company to avoid a chill or get one removed. But I cannot find any evidence of that,
As far as spiking volume in these illiquid stock, someone is paying a nasty fee when the volume exceeds 25% of the 20 day average volume. The NSCC implemented a rule for illiquid stock and these "surges" in volume. I will dig it up, but someone has to come out of pocket big to bring shares to the market. Essentially every angle is getting more restricted by the day, you pay more to bring more shares to the market, you will pay huge margin for volume exceeding average volume and as you said Penson the second largest clearing firm with 470+ Particpiants says screw all of that.
