  When it comes to company stock liquidity isn't really binary. There are degrees.

  You can't transfer the stock, but you can sell a contract promising to sell at a specific price once it's liquid.

    Except if the company has a right of first refusal.

    And in some cases, eg financial services companies, this can be a major violation.

    Isn't that essentially shorting the stock?

      It’s a put option.
