I seriously doubt it was done purposefully. I don't think anyone anticipated the financials becoming a problem, and then becoming a problem for this long. I'm guessing that the share price will be about the same, maybe even better, the first day they are free trading than where the stock was on July 1(or whatever exact date it was) when they were suppose to be.
To know the truth, one must get rid of knowledge, as nothing is more powerful and creative than emptiness.
