Huh? That's not how it works. PAIM is just ordering the brokerages to remove 95% of their clients PAIM stock. As they did in the case of the CD. But evidently they're determined not to screw it up the way they did the last time. That's what they say, anyhow.
It would look awful funny when people still had the shorted shares in their accounts after the buyback because the company refused to buy back the possibly billions of counterfeit shares.
That will only happen if they DO screw it up again, which wouldn't surprise me at all.
Note that in the PR they specify the amount of stock outstanding. That is the stock that will be affected by this action, and ALL of it was issued by the company.
