It is possible.

I didn’t review that part of the original economics proposal very closely. The 
original intention was fairly clear to me: a player who has deregistered has 
three days in which to give _someone_ eir shinies, before the Secretary is 
obliged to transfer them to Agora. The rule text is more than a little shaky, 
though, and may not implement the intention perfectly.

Personally, I don’t think the three-day window adds much. Someone who 
voluntarily deregisters can’t come back for thirty days, and someone who is 
deregistered for inactivity has been disregarding eir assets for at least a 
month prior to that. That’s why the draft I’ve got going right now causes the 
final asset transfer to happen immediately before the relevant entity 
transmutes into something else or ceases to exist: it’s simpler, and harder to 
have this kind of edge case in.

I’m going to book-keep this as an uncleared transaction with a note about the 
CFJ, for now, and make any actions I take with these Shinies conditional on my 
actually having them. I’m very interested in seeing how the follow-up CFJ turns 
out, however.
