BCIT - It is interesting that brokers still "hope" for write-offs. It never made sense to me whey they would spend so much effort and resources trying to get shareholders to write down their shares. Then you factor in the liability they are still carrying for a revoked stock, that "could" trade again, and it all makes sense. Some where next to the Securities Fraud lies attempted Tax Fraud, IMO. The SEC is captured, but I doubt the IRS is!
