Hmm I think their agenda is to get shares by convincing you to take a tax write off, then convincing the IRS to hand them over because you aren’t using them anymore. They know about the secret deal even though the company, monitor and courts said that wasn’t happening, so they are trying to collect shares through this mechanism of write off and IRS collusion.
If this sounds dumb, remember, you admittedly have no idea so I have to make it up as best as I can.
