Somewhat OT: Diamond Foods settlement bullish for chestnut plays that might be only mostly legit?

Diamond Foods Inc. will pay $5 million to settle charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission for its role in an accounting scheme.

The SEC said Thursday that it charged the San Francisco-based snack maker and two of its former executives for their roles in the falsifying walnut costs in order to boost earnings.

So this tells us that deflated nuts as an input isn't really that big of a deal.

FWIW, I still expect this take private to occur, even after all this time. Stock
