If you take it at face value, they commited tens of millions of dollars, including buying secondary shares from people with a significant information advantage, on the basis of a 10-K (and let's not forget those gaudy earnout targets). <br /><br />Amazing - reminds me a little of the suits that came out when the subprime bubble burst.Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636207632554906989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-65259862305086679712011-03-23T07:58:54.535+11:002011-03-23T07:58:54.535+11:00Hi John,

Or perhaps it is just a ruse to deflect attention from his initial dirty deal - that doesn't now look so good - who knows ? <br /><br />Hank - come into the bubble bath- it is warm in here. <br /><br />Bunga onSilvioBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-67495173667125968922011-03-22T08:50:56.466+11:002011-03-22T08:50:56.466+11:00You have presumably seen this John?
