So you have, what, all sorts of certificates spread out all ASSOCIATED REPORTERS OF NEVADA (702) 382-8778 106 SYLVER - CROSS 1 over the country or the world? 2 A. Do you -- can you imagine how many shares in IBM are traded 3 every day?

No. We don't know it's issued. We knew it was issued -- 9 when we get a transaction report. 10 Q. So you give shares of Amazon to all sorts of people signed. 11 A. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. A transfer agent holds all the 12 certificates. Every transfer agent in this country holds 13 facsimile signature certificates, blank. 14 The transfer agent, a neutral agent, is supposed to 15 transfer the stock for brokers, for individuals. The company 16 that relies on the transfer agent is their individual. We 17 don't -- 18 Q. Who was the transfer agent that had the original of this 19 certificate which you attached to your complaint? 20 A. A company called Fidelity Transfer. 21 Q. Who sent the original certificate with the signatures on it 22 to First Fidelity? 23 A. Attorney by a h- a gentleman by the name of Attorney 24 Leonard Burningham (phonetic) at the closing of the Amazon 25 Natural Treasures' merger with Concorde Capital on March 27th ASSOCIATED REPORTERS OF NEVADA (702) 382-8778 107 SYLVER - CROSS 1 of 1996. 2 We signed those certificates in his office, and he took 3 it -- we didn't even sign those certificates. We signed the 4 SCC document that is supposed to be signed by the president and 5 secretary of the company for the transfer agent. 6 The transfer agent then in turn took that signature and 7 placed it on the certificate as they are supposed to do by law. 8 Q. So almost two months after you signed your subscription 9 agreement with Whitecliffe and Shoreline where they were 10 supposed to pay you $1,000,000, two months later, you hadn't 11 been paid a dime according to your testimony.
