And yet they can also refuse to clear unregistered shares, that is the way it works. The fees are not new and have always existed for manual trades. That is in fact one of the many risks of playing with penny stock. Any business can refuse service.
Yes the water company can very well start charging outrageous fees, but unlike stock, water is a necessity for life, crappy stock is just crap. So your analogy has failed in regards of making a logical connection.
Who said they are tracking, they are simply refusing clearing service to fraudulent share issues which they can clearly see at their level. Any one in the chain of custody can do that including your own broker if they feel necessary and most are now doing so. If they do not want to take the risk either then what makes you think anyone else should?
So take out the maple syrup "Risk" never tasted so fowl.
