I currently have a six figure tax bill because of exactly this issue. And I can’t sell the shares to anyone because transfer is forbidden.

IMO this should be illegal. It's your property and they should not be allowed to bar it's sale.

Shares aren’t really ‘property’. They are a financial / legal instrument created by statutes and contracts.
