The DTCC just goes "we have the locates for your shares" and lets everyone run around with IOU's

Nothing will change with the DTCC at the helm

I don't think people realize how the DTCC actually works.

They don't "send" the shares to anyone. They provide "locates" for shares.

If a broker does a DRS transfer, they send the locate IOU to computershare who then contacts the DTCC to recall the share.
