According to Sterling, he only said that it was a blessing in disguise.
I was asking did we have proof that FINRA actually denied the split, or are we just under the assumption that this is what happen?
Sterling has explained he's quite close to Ken Teknus. He would know. If you read his other posts on the subject, he was quite specific about what FINRA told BLDV it would have to do if it really wanted a split.
And it isn't a "blessing in disguise". Under the circumstances, FINRA is likely to deny any other corporate action they'd need to process before it became effective.
