ALPINE and COR, (defunct now), both Colorado clearing houses of these convertible debentures. Both have been admonished by the SEC/FINRA, one of them forced out of business. Thanks to DBMM pulling the proverbial rabbit out of their behind, now ALPS could be facing oblivion. No one can confirm NSS, naked short shares, because it is illegal. The corrupted clearing houses just continued to cellar box the companies into BK or reverse splits.
This DBMM story just got a whole lot more interesting now, in particular tonight.
