Currently I'm the leader of a faction I don't own.
To help increase the value of the faction I lead, my faction's owner decided to put in the complete stocks of another faction he owns and protect them.

Today as I was looking at the protected stocks in my faction, I realised I could actually unprotect these stocks and make them over to myself if I wanted.

I informed my faction owner, unprotected the stocks and sent them back to him.

This is unfortunate for a faction who needs to raise capital before the new rules are implemented, but it's too much of a security risk.

Is this a bug or an intended feature?

Hmm, I have protected stocks in the faction I lead, but can see no option to unprotect them (or anything else). Admittedly I am relatively new to leadership of a faction, but still, I'd say it was more of a bug.

An important thing to note, is that the faction stocks were to the amount that my faction actually owned the other faction

Anyone had a similar problem?
