They decided 100+ years ago to make a scam up to create a fake business and eventually go bankrupt so they could steal a couple of bucks a share from you and me?
It isn't a scam. It's typical Wallstreet and Lawyers doing what they do.
It's like winning the lottery and getting paid over 20 years. You didn't win the lotto. You won the money and gave it to a banker who will pay you from the interest on your own money for 20 years and then keep what you gave him.
The money is somewhere collecting interest for a decade. The lawyers leech it and Wallstreet leverages it.
But it it still yours. And once they have collected the interest on your money they will give you that interest and keep your money. That way it coat them nothing.
