Good info. Some traders/observers appear to have already assumed Honig's involvement, maybe due to his deep pocket. Interestingly, BSR apologized only to Pershing, ChromaDex, and Honig. Not Brauser. It also puzzles me why Honig's did not sue PumpStopper for similar articles before.
His (and Frost's) not going after Lakewood may be a little easier to understand, given (potentially) Lakewood's powerful attorneys.
Could this somehow be related to the degree of distortion involved? I keep on thinking this way because I know for fact that some legal threat never materialized in relation to SA negative articles. Representatives for companies/major investors (just like Honig in this case) made threat but never actually sued. Common among those few cases: they didn't distort. One author simply updated his article by adding a couple sentences of caution. And that was it.
Jaksch really was weak/slow in handling this crisis. It's good that Mr. Honig came to rescue in the end.
From this point on, they probably should vet each board candidate carefully. Bring in someone who would be an asset than liability. Should not be another Dunkerley, Honig, or Brauser. And then preferably he/she would have expertise to help with the company's ingredient business. Age wise, maybe someone in the 40-70 range? Or maybe it does not matter. A retired executive might have more time to advise on the company's business.
My 2 cents too. Not up to us anyway.
