jhild: If he owns the company again, I suppose that he could authorize the corporate counsel to drop that suit against himself. Heck, he might even have the company go after Jack now. I think this is right on. Everyone always talks about shorters. From a practical perspective, who are the only people who can short an OTC:BB? Those who hold shares. The insiders (Christensen? Gort?, who else) probably sold half their holdings during the run-up and shorted the other half (a covered short, no problem for a BD). Now at a penny they cover and have the same profit if they had sold 100% at the peak and have control of the company again. With control, they dismiss the lawsuit. No holes in the strategy, except for the SEC or a possible criminal fraud investigation and that can be tied up in a legal morass for years. JMHO mind you. ww
