OP; please respond.
As mentioned, dividends were not received by bitcoiner49er or myself even though payment was submitted prior to the dividend date. It was my understanding that purchasing the shares prior to said dividend date would entitle the buyers to dividends immediately. I received my first round of dividends on 5/29, and have not received dividends from 5/15 or 5/22 (though payment for the auction was sent and confirmed on 5/13). I presume that means that our share of dividends was received by the OP and has not yet been forwarded to the new shareholders.
Would really appreciate some transparency on what is causing the delay and for this situation to be rectified.
