"if FASC sold 12-14 machines this fiscal year would anyone have negative feelings towards BN and/or the company?"
Given that it is utterly academic what the private company does in the future as far as the retail victims of FASC are concerned, that group are perfectly entitled to feel aggrieved about the (at best) gross mismanagement that rendered their shares not only illiquid but also devoid of any real monetary value.
Add to that the inescapable truth that Nichols lied deliberately to long term holders about the very existence of correspondence from the SEC regarding the delinquent filings, and I would say any victim of this company's shenanigans should be mightily displeased with what passes for FASC's "management".
