Auric -- Let's see: The SEC indicted 20 people from FUE in an investigation that focused on stock manipulation involving, among others, ASTN, and yet they did not indict Rittereiser nor any other member of ASTN management, nor even mentioned them as unindicted co-conspirators, or even as being involved in any way. And that in an investigation where you KNOW that every FUE broker who testified before the grand jury and didn't take the fifth probably said something to the effect of "I was only telling people what I was being told by management".

And then you say you are "pointing out where the federal government came out". Followed by innuendo totally unsupported by the indictment ("it's rare that underwriter activities are unknown to management . . . ). And you call yourself a seeker of the "truth"?? What a crock.

This is old news - kicked around on CNBC in 1997 when FUE went under, and nobody is arguing that those guys deserve the indictment. But to leap from there to ASTN's demise??

I'll tell you where the "government came out" on ASTN:

eVWAP: Approved.
Amendment to eVWAP on price structure: Approved.
Amendment to incorporate credit authorization features: Approved
Amendment to modify price structure (a few weeks ago): Approved
Quoted at length in Reg ATS
Approved just yesterday by the Toronto Stock Exchange

Save your garbage for the trash man. As usual, you know nothing but talk a lot. I'll see you at 10 when (hopefully) you return to short this again.
