Arnold, you are almost correct.
1. AVGI took cygx to court.
The truth is that CYGX took Waldroff to court. Waldroff wanted to settle the conflict out of court, but because of the involvement of Bardwell and Boyd, CYGX sued Waldroff and AVGI. That compelled them to countersue CYGX. When the jury found in favor of Waldroff and AVGI, CYGX appealed the verdict. That would be normal and expected. Then after jumping thru several hoops, CYGX quit filing briefs as directed by the Court of Appeals. My questions concern why CYGX seemingly gave up after so many of the folks on this board assured us that the case had no merit in the first place and that CYGX would prevail on appeal. Someone earlier today posted that CYGX didn't want to throw good money after bad. If that is the case why all of the action in the first place?
Your three final points are correct and well taken.
