<<<< The preferred holders owned 3.5M shares that could have been shorted initially with 21M shares being offered as conversion shares. >>>

It was my understanding that one of the limitation was that they could not own more than 5% of the outstanding stock. 3.5M is well more than 5 %.

Also, "21M" shares being offered ? Prior to this non-sense there was a total of about 12M shares outstanding. Kerry suggests that after conversion, there will be a total of 21M to 25M shares outstanding, depending on conversion price. How do these numbers reconcile, particularly with the apparant 5% limitation ?

It seems very odd that a singular (even sleezy) financing deal could, according to what you are suggesting, allow the outstanding shares to potentially increase from 12M to 25M. If they never sold, does this suggest that they would own 1/2 of the outstanding shares. Again, how does this reconcile with the 5% limitations ....!!??
