"For the record, I do not own this stock, and I am not short this stock.
I was involved with an associated company and have lost many thousands of dollars
with my original shares in this company. I used to own Pratt Hotel Corporation which
no longer exists. You can believe me or not, it means little to me.
I am only trying to make sure that other people don't lose their shorts as well."
