I don't remember that detail, but it goes along with what I was saying. There's no evidence Ephrem actually owned a large block of stock - but he may have controlled a large block as guardian for his daughters. From S5 "Prelude in A Minor" we know between gifts from her grandparents, Mary had 45%, Elizabeth's shares were 10% (later gifted to Kaitlyn), and Juri's shares (gifted by MegaZone) were around 30%. That's 85% right there. Of the remaining 15%, maybe Clarissa received some, perhaps other outside investors, etc. - but there's no textual evidence I can find showing Ephrem holding any significant number of shares. With Clarissa's effective treason, even if she held shares, I'm not sure what would happen with them - maybe seized by the Zeta Cygni government and placed in escrow pending trial?
