I believe all that your friend told you is definitely feasible. Not only feasible but absolutely probable. The only issue that I have with it being applied here, and in the case of the many other 1 share securities that they hold is the minuscule monetary value. 550 shares at .0001 is $0.055. Even if this was a hot RM and it shot to a few pennies, heck, that's barely lunch money. If those numbers represented a multiple, (they don't, it is actual shares) then they would have a real stake, and what you spoke of would be real food for thought Even the smallest of individual investors, with the smallest bank account would toss more than a nickel on a play. No, there is something more to it, I'm sorry I don't know, but it would be fun to find out. And, I have a feeling that you will one day get to the bottom of it. Hahahahaha. Kudos to you for digging this up, and bringing it to the board to chew on. GLTA and goodnight.
