VD,/h/sb,
Do you really think that the SEC lets you slide for selling unregistered shares at price A just because you buy back an equal number at price B?
I'd like to know what Pike's motivation was as much as anybody else, but I don't think that covers it.
Also, I'm not so sure about the "whole SEC debacle unfolding back in October (before the suspension), is it possible his legal counsel advised him to repurchase everything he has ever sold" stuff, because some of his buying occurred prior to mid-September.
It's all a merry mix-up as far as Mr. Pike is concerned.
