In November of 2020, I purchased shares of Barclay’s VXX which I assumed were registered according to the supplied Barclays prospectus. On September 12, 2022, under Barclays rescission offer, I found out the harsh reality that the shares of VXX would not be part of the rescission to my utter dismay and shock. I still have NO explanation on why the shares were denied which is inexcusable. I have suffered losses of over 95% of my total investment in VXX which I still hold today. Now, I’m currently perplexed on why the holders of Barclay’s VXX are once again shutout of the fair fund in receiving minimal compensation for the unlawful action on the part of Barclays. Why should the holders of Barclays ADR's and ordinary shares benefit from the holders and losers of VXX shares? If we were back in the early 80’s this won’t have happened because the VXX shares would have been certificated form and not book entry. There would have been a physical accounting of the shares issued and not someone sleeping at the wheel. I would trade my 95% loss in a heartbeat for a 3.4% or 3.7 % loss as stated in the current up for comment distribution proposal. I’m hoping that the distribution proposal would be reconsidered in benefiting VXX shareholders. Not all of us in the loop received money back on the rescission offer.
