jkelly, it appears you signed over your shares to anz in an off market transfer...............did you not understand what you were doing ?????? why didnt you ask questions ????? article todays age (not the headline) the business section states..........if you had a margin loan account, you signed over ownership of your shares to the anz bank...or to merryl lynch............. and apparently opres also loaned all clients shares to anz to obtain more loans to opres...............apparently the lending of shares is acceptable behaviour............but now anz is selling those shares to redeem part of the loans they made to opres forensic detectives have been called in
