Funny, but it is not going to matter for the NSS cool-aid drinkers. They are still going to believe that this is just part of a continued cover-up by the SEC for not addressing a rampant NSS problem.
No matter, that the rampant dilution by USXP is fact, as it is with all other heavy diluter. To them it is all a myth and offshore NSS funds are the real villains. Altomare is being silenced because of his outspokenness on the subject.
That said, I do know several OTC companies that have been heavily shorted by prospective Reg 504 lenders, which then used the 504 stock to cover once the deal was inked. However, that practice is illegal for all OTCs as of today.
But again thats not going to matter. The first thing the average newbie learns on these boards is to blame others, never themselves, and NSS is such a handy culprit.
