QNTA mgmt recently held a conference call, and they DO respond to email inquires. I would not consider that "in hiding". They do have to work through the SEC mess. If they can clear that hurdle (big If), then it's back to business as usual.
The most important thing from my perspective is - we do NOT want a r/s. As the O/S and float grows, the risk of an r/s increases.
So if QNTA mgmt is reading this board --- to stop the cash flow bleeding (salaries, advertising, construction, etc), we suggest that you put your business operations on HOLD until the SEC investigation is behind you. That is how you can weather this storm without hurting the very shareholders who supported you in prior years. Otherwise, resorting to a devastating r/s will seriously damage your credibility BEYOND repair as you seek to attract future (new) shareholders to support your vision and business initiatives. You NEED the shareholders support.
