It's been so long now that I can't really remember, but I have it in my head that Nixon basically got WCVC revoked himself - that he filed paperwork to stop being an actively traded company, and one of the reasons that he might of done this was to protect shareholders from manipulation due to the lawsuit?
I personally never understood the SECs decision to disallow trading on Expert Market stocks in the US, whilst the rest of the world could still trade them - they said that it was to protect shareholders, which might be true, but in OTC land it also could put US shareholders at a disadvantage when a ticker comes back from the dead. I know I, being in Canada, can certainly buy Expert Market stocks… and I'm no "expert". Maybe Nixon didn't agree with that either? Or, maybe I'm just out to lunch, and Nixon was just fine with screwing over his shareholders!?
