Really? you've obviously never tried to get the restriction removed on 144 shares. Many brokers will refuse to take them or even hold them.
If real investors in companies ( not retail investors just buying shares on the open market) cannot sell their 144 shares then the entire under $5.00 market is toast.
It is coming within 6 months in my opinion, accredited investors are walking away and when they go then the small time retail investors are stuck.
