DOS,

I did the math. I did not pay $30 or give up any part of my dividend.

The attached document showed the dividend amount, the Western Union fee amount, the total and the amount paid to western union by Aurus. That amount was the total of my dividend and the Western Union fee.

I suspect that if you paid $30 it was because you didn't use a Western Union branch, but some other company that provided Western Union "service" for a fee.

I may be wrong about the fees others paid, but not about the fact that I didn't pay a fee.

DOS, most of us here know how to do the math. My divy I received in cash was EXACTLY based on .0008 with NO deduction taken. Pretty simple. # of shares x .0008 = what I received. Nothing else taken out. I, as others have guessed, think some of you were additionally charged from certain western unions branches that either didnt realize the charge was already paid or they just tried to get a away with an additional charge to the customer, or thats just there way of doing business if they are not a regular franchise western union. As far as this notion of saying you think the "3 amigos" are trying to pocket the difference between .008 and .0008 is totally nonsense. Management screwed up by announcing the wrong rate. We ALL knew the divy amount based on earnings and what most people felt was the outstanding share count came to around .0008. Plain and simple, its terrible communication from management and they didnt clarify, correct, or do whatever they should have done, but to think .008 was paid out with the 3 amigos keeping the difference did not happen.
