I doubt the TA is at fault, they may have simply delivered stock certs on record date.
I have a stock cert lying around here somewhere for 200,000 shares or so of some stock that has since done a massive R/S but not changed their name. It doesn't give me the right to deposit it with a broker and sell 200K shares when I really only have about 200 shares after the reverse.
The guy at the company said in one conversation "I am not sure why the stock symbol is not correct, I'm trying to fix it" Sorry buddy, that should have been your first clue you were selling something you do not own
