Well we do know that 5 billion shares was not enough as of
Dec. 08. Folks made a big deal about that first reduction from 10B to 5B which was termed "an error". He raised it to
10B for a reason.....not 6, 7,8 even 9. Nope he needs 10B.

Back in July we knew that all the JV's and acquistions with restricted stock + the float was 320 million shares. Since then he has only done the EZZE deal....thats the only missing variable I believe to this puzzle. So all the deals were done except EZEE for 320million.

Gene won't tell shareholders where they stand yet there are those who will strongly defend his action and come up with
excuses for his behavior. Reminds me of the Patti Hearst
syndrom where the victims support the perpetrators because
they are tramatized.

Are you changing the subject?

Do you know the OS no... do you know what is restricted? no

We were discussing how the FTD data proved that there was no naked short position. Now you are talking about restricted shares. I don't understand what you are getting at.

BDM, this was such a twisted truth reply i had to answer:

Twisted Lie about the FTD Charts:
"So the highest short position EVER could not have been greater than 35 million shares and even then most of those were delivered soon after."

Its so funny to read things like this, everyone, (well honest people know and will see NSS is real), to actually say "the highest short position EVER could not have been greater than 35 Million shares" is just a twisted truth.

We know NAKED SHORT SELLING TO DRIVE THE PPS DOWN IS ILLEGAL, THE REGSHO LIST IS FOR LEGAL SHORTING!

The highest recorded FTD is 35M, is this the highest possible short possition? Of course not....WHEN I READ TWISTED LIES AND HALF TRUTHS I LOVE BEING IN RCCH

This is how Hedge Funds Hide Short Positions:

Ameritrade, for example, will enter into a repo agreement with a hedgefund so they can legitimately short Ameritrade's customer's shares (whether they're in a cash account, non-marginable, doesn't matter). Ameritrade receives an interest rate from the hedge during the time the shares are lent out. Good money for them. This transaction avoids being shown on the legit short report. Why? Because the SEC still considers the hedge fund's strategy to be confidential and protects them. They allow and support this type of transaction. Imagine you owned your own hedgefund, you looked up the legit short report for a low float stock with 100mm shares shorted by another hedgefund? You could absolutely crush that hedgefund.
