Really? Brokerage JH Darbie naked shorted 25 mil BCIT shares and paid what, 105k?

In no case can an investor lose more on a stock than he paid for it.

In the past tense maybe, however there are some present tenses that can really hurt. And one could always split hairs about the past value and the time value of money. Or else why would anyone advocate a "refund plus interest" solution?

Why would anyone who has us completely trapped in a "no man's land" offer us more than the original investment?
For the broker's entertainment, for them to avoid future risk, because people can lose more on a stock than they paid for it (looking at the time value of the locked up money alone)?
