T+3 is huge in this situation. That is why we all have messages from our brokers stating that the shares are indeed real/valid shares.
Back in the day i actually helped ohbull with transferring shares from Harris to Etrade (Etrade acquired Harris in 2006). Etrade was fighting it and I barked very loud to make it happen. I put ohbull in touch with the correct person to help him and i don't believe i ever received a thank you from him! :) Although his hard work and dedication to this fight is thank you enough!
This is going to get interesting. I believe the fight is long from over, but in the end the evidence supporting shareholders is so strong that we will win.
