Additional Details

We could find nothing of substance about this company, its investments, success or failure. The chances are that it was, like so many such schemes just that; a means of separating a person and his money. It was duly notarized and the back of the certificate bears the image of a woman named Alice Street, whose visage we presume was supposed to inspire trust.
