Jet, JF posed a good question for you and you can't answer it, except saying they can take some shares and go to corner store to cash it at some brokerage. Why would they go to all that trouble to do so? I surely wouldn't . If they didn't have the money, I wouldn't do the work for them. There has to be more to it than your simple explanation given. Can you come up with a more plausible explanation for taking shares for payment. Your thoughts again, with a little more astuteness. Thanks,
