No, I'm not. But since you apparently can't interpret plain English, I guess I should forgive you for twisting my words.
*YOU* may have a defense against the authorities if you haven't sold any of your shares. This implies that you are a "true believer", or insane, misguided, irresponsible, of which none of these are criminal offenses. It only implies that you believed in what this company was telling you and places responsibility upon them to sort this thing out. (I happen to personally have experience with this myself).
However, if it can be shown that you willingly knew about false and misleading information, yet continued to report favorable and contrary information publically (tough to prove), they may be able to link you as an indirect conspirator and have enough probable cause to file a complaint and cost you a lot more money in legal fees. They may not succeed, but either way financially you will lose, along with your "reputation" and "good name".
So... have you been subpoenaed yet??
There IS NOTHING illegal about taking delivery of your shares. In fact, for those so inclined to spend the additional money, you might as well. What's another $20 or so.
And the odds are that this stock won't trade on January 7th, so you have some time.
