"I'd also add that to think some pinksheet stock can't get restricted shares converted prematurely, to dump into the markets, is impossible is naive, because it happens all the time." - Agree. You get a sleazy lawyer to do up an opinion letter, and viola, free-trading shares...they need to change the rules to force the T/As accountable for rubber stamping those transactions. Don't see that as going here, but, like I said, I have been spectacularly wrong in the past!
