A few rebuttals if I may: A. What part of "illegal" don't you understand? The part where extended presence on the SHO list became prima facie evidence of illegality. Second, I said the Sith Lord's role is murky to me: If it exists So the Sith Lord, who, last week was supposedly identified as an infamous corporate raider of the 1980's, now may not exist at all? And if he does exist may have little (or even no?) connection to any of this? Backtracking much here? Other than that I just talked about relationships: Again, did they look like a conspiracy to you? If he's not trying to suggest all those relationships could be part of the conspiracy, why did he mention them in the first place? Why pay to buy up counterfeit shares? Why would he think he would have to do any such thing? There is a very firm accounting of how many OSTK shares are supposed to exist. To take the company private, you buy the difference between the shares you own and the shares recorded as outstanding. Simple as that. What is next, I wonder. Will Byrne refuse to file a 10-K on the basis that he can't attest to the number of shares of stock outstanding? Thus, I now think that the miscreants understand the threat that an uncaptured financial news source like The Fool represents to them. They will seek to capture it. So you guys should be on the lookout for any journalist who suddenly shows up at The Fool trying to further the hedgies' agenda (by, say, bashing their shorts, spinning our lawsuit as being about Sith Lords and naked shorting, etc.). So apparently he has the Fool's spot in the "Miscreant's Ball" all picked out for them in the event they decide not to buy into his story anymore. How thoughtful.
