Well, they're going to have a lot of explaining to do when a dump truck shows up outside of their house with 4,294,967,290 stock certificates.

Like: What happened to the street when a dump truck loaded with 8500 tons of paper drove down it leaving deep trenches through the pavement.

4,294,967,290 at one sheet of paper per share is about one entire freight train of box cars. Depending on the paper.
