Read the SEC warning about stocks in bankruptcy:

http://www.sec.gov/reportspubs/investor-publications/investorpubsbankrupthtm.html

There is no federal law that prohibits trading of securities of companies in bankruptcy.

Note: Investors should be cautious when buying common stock of companies in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It is extremely risky and is likely to lead to financial loss. Although a company may emerge from bankruptcy as a viable entity, generally, the creditors and the bondholders become the new owners of the shares. In most instances, the company's plan of reorganization will cancel the existing equity shares. This happens in bankruptcy cases because secured and unsecured creditors are paid from the company's assets before common stockholders. And in situations where shareholders do participate in the plan, their shares are usually subject to substantial dilution.

BIOAQ shareholders will get nothing, as the debtors and creditors in front of them will not be paid in full, either.
