vg....As I said at the beginning of this topic, no one outside the negotiations CAN know really know what's going on. So, we are all just guessing. However, whenever any type of financing is agreed to in principle, the buyers will short stock in the open market to cap the price of the financing (in this case, the conversion price). It's just the way it works. Also, IMO, the reason the deal was not done and then announced has something to do with negotiating the extinguishment of the existing notes. For all we know, could be the same group. Like I said, most of this is a guess.
