Holy crap, I have no idea what's going on here. 
So, Goat, should I contact you with my claim code? Is there a plan?

Only GLBSE can accepts the claim code. This explains why rather well...

Just give your code to GLBSE and once you get back your assets maybe we can work something out.
This is misinformation. Goat is trying to confuse his customers, hoping they get angry at GLBSE. The fact is that Goat holds your shares. The claim code is used by Goat to verify that you are the owner of the shares.
GLBSE have given shareholders a claim code that they are suppose to give to Goat so that he can track shareholders himself. Goat has a list of claim codes and the number of shares associated with each code. Shareholders should contact Goat with the claim code and contact information. The result of this is that shareholders can only trade shares with Goat until he lists the shares on another exchange. Once he has moved to another exchange, shareholders can trade with others again.

Thank you.
I agree that it could have been handled better -- more securely. But that post simply suggests that there could be problems. Anyway, it seems pretty simple to me, though it is a big hassle for Goat and his shareholders.
