That's a good question, looks like you'll just have to trust "on word" ...
PS: I also bought 1000 shares ...
I don't think it's just about trust. For example, when you are buying ASICMINER shares, you are registered somewhere as is written here on havelock website.

Anybody has a link or anything where I can learn more?
