Called Ares today. He picked up on the second ring. Says something will be out soon, apologizes for the delay. Admits they're behind schedule. Isn't willing to provide a time frame/range for when a PR will be put out because if they miss the date, it'll look really, really bad. But hopefully soon. And it'll address pretty much all the issues people have been concerned with, especially the SEC suspension. Also, they're not staying on the grey market.
Yes, I know this doesn't mean much, if anything at all, but just thought I'd share.
I still have my fingers crossed. Sigh.
