Quite possibly the worst made up story to date, no shit, a physical certificate isn't tradable....lol... did you honestly think that you could drive down to the brokerage, deposit the certificate within minutes and start trading again....lol... freaking hilarious.
It takes business days to deposit a certificate from a real company, nevermind the fact that no brokerage will accept a physical certificate of shares from an OTC penny stock purchased from the market to deposit in the first place.
"We couldnt sell our certifcates".. ba ha ha ha ha ha ha.. no shit
