I agree. The suit will do little to get your money back. It will tarnish the Company's tattered reputation that much further, and top management, as bad as they are already, will have to spend inordinate amounts of their time with account types and lawyers providing countless depositions. The whole process works in the favor of the lawyers and auditors. Guilty or not, S3 shareholders are far better off not to have the Company going through process so they can collect 0.20 -.40 per share (that they show can show $ 3- 5 losses on). Heck, the day the suit is announced the Company stock will slide more than you will recover in the settlement... after the lawyer's take their cut of the action.
