LongRVZer - You may be overreacting just a little IMO. If the CUSIP is the same that's all your broker needs in order for them to buy or sell the shares when you give them the order to.
How these listings happen is a mystery but ZCC isn't the only one I have seen in the years that I've been trading. It has happened with a few different mining companies that I've owned over the years as well. What makes me a little uneasy is that each of those companies eventually closed their doors.
"Here is my theory which may or may not have any truth or facts in it whatsoever."
When a small company that has wide distribution hits the skids and there is no market for their shares or the volume on the Canadian markets is so low that insufficient share volumes exist the brokerages in this country look to get these shares off their books as rapidly as possible. At this stage most of these companies are considered ultra high risk. More specifically the compliance departments of the large brokerage firms want all or as many of these shares off their books. IMO this OTC market was created by an entity that wanted to clear these shares from their book of business. Setting up an OTCBB listing suits that firms requirements to clear their books. Because that OTCBB listing is not exclusive to the entity that set it up anyone can use it. I have no idea what the mechanics are to set up this situation or to keep it operational but that's my theory.
(The above is my theory alone. Do not trust any of it to be fact. If you don't like it please give this board your theory.)
As far as the answers you are getting or not getting from Zenith, don't expect anything more than what you have received. They have stated very clearly on multiple occasions that they are not involved in this listing so saying nothing is the best way for them to be not involved.
