H2NRG, that is discouraging, very much so. Poor imsoweary. He was one of the few who ever seemed to be able to get a reply out of Megas. This hurts all of us.
However, even within that discouraging note is valuable information. Megas just verified that the issue is indeed a naked short issue when he said the brokers could no produce a cert because they do not have one. Notice he did not say they didn't have a genuine one. If the problem were counterfeit certs, then he would have said they can't produce a valid one.
