There’s a long history of postmaster corruption

It’s only a loss if you’ve been invested for a short time. The market is up a ridiculous amount. It would need to drop close to 40% to be back around 2014 levels. You could still sell shares from 2010 that would be sold at a profit, if you’ve been investing for a decade
