Maybe this is the reason why the cram down is being pushed so hard, maybe the main reason why Fannie and Freddie are not released. The phantom shares go away by wiping out the existing common shares.

Failure to Deliver, Fannie and Freddie, this possibly could end as the greatest take down in the history of Wall Street. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission knew about this, it's reported on their website.

In a "naked" short sale, the seller does not borrow or arrange to borrow the securities in time to make delivery to the buyer within the standard two-day settlement period. As a result, the seller fails to deliver securities to the buyer when delivery is due; this is known as a "failure to deliver" or "fail."
