Richard you forgot the category of people who are both shareholders and lenders. I am one of those. My loan (unsecured) has already been exteded 3 times, and will probably be extended a 4th time in the near future. I agree that we are too close to be filing lawsuits, trying to divert their financing, etc. When I got in I knew this was a risky venture with a potential good payoff at the end. Right now we are going through the time that tests your mettle and your character. I made my bed and now I am going to sleep in it. And while I would much prefer a nice dream to a nightmare, I won't know what I am going to get until after it all plays out.
Now I must also say that I did not invest my life savings in this. If I did I might be a little more desperate to try and get it back. I consulted with my financial advisors and the consensus was not to risk more than 15% of your worth into a risky venture. And I more or less followed their advice.
