Certainly, nothing wrong with gifting someone stock. But what does that have to do with deli? This guy has brokered billions of shares since revocation. He's made a nice living the last few years for his troubles. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he's kicking back to the likes of Acca, Mona, and a few others for keeping the skids greased.
It would also be interesting to find out whose stock he is selling.
Do you think you'd be allowed to "gift" the stock to someone?
Of course. And over the years some Xers have died. The owner (or the estate) sends the cert to the TA with instructions, and they issued a new one to the new owner.
But nobody profits, except, probably, the TA, who would charge a small fee.
