reaper.... that's a good question. A while back there was a case of a guy who had bought ALL the reported float of a company only to find the company had been shorted and had massive dilution. I never saw the outcome of that but may have the article somewhere in my archives.
I see some flaws in that myself, but like I said, if the audit came back saying the transfer agent said there were 100 shares out there, and the brokers say there are 200. I would cover my ass by making sure I still had the majority %.
They conterfeit money, I imagine stocks can be counterfieted as well and how would you prove one stock with the same number on it as another is the right one.
