I know some people have a low view of custodial plays. They like to call it "hijacking".
Most (or perhaps all) of those people have a low view of the entire OTCM. They don't think it should exist, and therefore cannot like what Lazar does.
I see the OTCM as having a distinct purpose. Kinda like a Used Car Lot.
Not everybody can purchase a new car. Tote-the-Note steps in to help those people out. It serves a purpose — even if New Car Dealers have a certain bit of distain for them.
That's the OTCM in large part. An island of misfit toys.
David Lazar recycles old shells. In the process he gives old shareholders a chance to at least recoup some of their money (if they held on to them).
