If they did that, wouldn't it have to be reported somewhere in the fine print of their required filings as a publicly traded company? No history to check for that on Wit, but should be some to be found on E*Trade for sure. Hmmm....

"Is there any rule an Underwriter has to allocate an allotment?"

Rule 10b-6
An SEC rule prohibiting anyone engaged in a distribution of securities from bidding for or purchasing those or similar securities until their participation in the distribution is complete.

Also, as has been explained before, the number of shares a firm agrees to underwrite (i.e. Wit 48,000 Juniper) is totally unrelated to the number of shares they actually receive.
