cassie - as usual you misrepresent/lie - Fred exercised 751,684 shares Q1'2000 @ $5.46 per shr - total value $6,962,470 - his cost $4,104,194 and paid taxes on $2,858,276 per AMT tax schedules - he also exercised options around June 2000 when the share price was around $6.00 and paid taxes again - RP exercised some options around the same time frame - as for your stuff on Diaz what you stated is when the company issued the restricted shares not when purchased - that was done a few weeks earlier when the share price was around $.325 per share - this should be obvious to someone as well informed as you??? - it is illegal per the rules to do a private placement at more than a 7% discount to the average share price on the day of the transaction - try rising above your negative self once in awhile
