Don't get me wrong ohms, I'm not saying they're all liars on that site, just saying from my personal experience and that of most investors I exchange info with, that there's more outright stock bashing that occurs there than anywhere else, so use caution.

The merged entities may indeed have found a work-around due to incomplete records, but that doesn't mean your shares just go away. If anyone over there indicated such, I think their advice is questionable at best.
