I read the same passage and did a double take. If you give someone ownership of your company, obviously they're not obligated to give it back. It's their company now. You were dumb enough to give it away; why do you think they'd make the same mistake? Also, to the extent that this had worked, it feels like an attempt at setting up a straw transaction to hide control of the company. Why exactly did they thing they needed to "temporarily" transfer ownership of the company?
