Hi Doc,

you atually raise very interesting questions here.
If these shares that were given out to CMF or the people involved in the Veneto deal, were in fact restricted, why on earth would they have been able to sell them at all? So why did they leave it at all to them/chance to adhere to the agreement or not?
If I am making a deposit for a rented apartment, that deposit is kept in an account that has restricted access. So neither the landlord nor the I myself am able to access the money, until it is released by both parties.
Why has GNBT given the CMF guys access to these shares at all then if they were "restricted". They could have as well show them that they exist and then keep them save for them in a restricted account, until the agreed upon time is elapsed that the restriction was applicable for!?

It is like giving chocolate to a child on Xmas eve and telling it, at the same time, that he/she is not supposed to eat until the new year. This is trusting in the child's will-power to stick to the made promise not to eat it before January.
