I dont work for them but I know situation in general with placing such shares- and I talked to etrade, once you get past their general instructions about such shares and talk to someone in compliance they will say the same thing.You may be a big client or have institutional connections to get around current issues, but in general my understanding from several brokers and market makers that placing shares of a low priced stock with a DTC chill is simply not possible with most brokers. Since your post indicates you havent tried yet ( unless I misunderstood) I am unsure how you are expecting to place these shares.
Also if you ahev a way to do this I would be most interested to see how you are able to do !
