Thank you, Joe. Your broker can issue you a certificate that you have so much stock in their possession. Then they wipe off your account of such ownership. If it becomes valuable again, your broker's certificate entitles you to whatever the stock is worth from that broker. This is legal. If they go out of business too; you are left holding the bag (the broker's certificate).
