What are you suggesting, the the US Congress pass a law saying that anybody who bought
shares during one of the nonpublic rounds of financing is not permitted to sell them until
the company makes profits (rather than 6 mths after the IPO)?


Tom,

You missed the point. Did Covey buy her shares?

Hi Dr. Tom,

Most of the money raised goes to themselves, executives and officers. Look at the company is in debt, practically book value is zero, yet the executives and officers are worth more than a billion.

What a joke!
