Lenders such as GS get discounted shares at rat
Post# of 2019
rates between 20-50% to market - I believe this toxic deal was around 30% and goes way back. Tack on interest and any other punitive items and you have a sh%$t storm.
Share structures suffer tremendously and the lender can sell whenever they want which is typically immediately - they are not interested in "investing" in penny stocks.
Fortunately this deal was not for a significant $ amount and is almost extinguished.
