Seller(s) could be any of these 5%+ owner(s) {as of May 27, 2008}...looks like 46 million shares between the 5% owners. Subtract the officers and directors {2.9M} leaves around 53M in the "float"...seller(s) could also, of course, be anyone with less than 5% {5M shares}. Looking at filings to see if I can find anything that may jump out. Most important is renegotiation of covenants in their contracts with creditor(s), imo.
