There are two different issues with those shares. Yes, they are restricted, but they are also unregistered. Yes, some have gotten them, after paying $400-$800 to go through the process.
I don't think NSAV can get out of the pinks until that's all cleared up. If share price isn't the holdup, the unregistered shares might be, and it might be why NSAV couldn't get through a new accounting firm and had to go back to PST.
I'm not going to pay anything. I think they will eventually have to give them to us, as was promised.
As the stock price rises, they just become more valuable anyway. 500K X $.10 is $50K. I don't NEED to sell them, so they are fine just sitting there.
