Release: Overstock Reminds Investors, Broker-Dealers of Trading Requirements of Series A-1 Preferred Shares – Naked Short Sellers are Boxed In

Release

Overstock Reminds Investors, Broker-Dealers of Trading Requirements of Series A-1 Preferred Shares

“It has come to the company’s attention that shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are being sold on platforms other than the alternative trading system (ATS), operated by tZERO ATS, LLC,” said Overstock Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Johnson. “These transfers are in violation of the transfer restrictions imposed on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock by the Certificate of Designation. Overstock is considering all options, including legal action, to stop sales of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in violation of the transfer restrictions.”

Read full release.

Comment: The naked short sellers are boxed  in — but they are trying hard to dupe naive investors and inattentive pension fund managers into accepting alternatives that are counterfeit — compounding their previous fraud with new fraud. There are probably 30 million counterfeit shares out there, if not more. If the SEC were honest, which it is not, it would be all over this as a pilot project to rapidly nail every naked short seller of Overstock now active.

DarkCyber: Exclusive Interview with Robert David Steele, Former CIA Professional

Louisville, Kentucky, US – WEBWIRE – Thursday, May 21, 2020

DarkCyber, a video news program, interviewed Robert David Steele, a former Central Intelligence Agency professional. Steele publishes books about intelligence strategy and procedures.
