One of my friends from law school works as a junior associate at a law firm called K&L Gates in Los Angeles. I work in the northeast, so we don't hang out anymore, but we shoot the crap every once in a while on gchat and talk about what we're currently working on. These past few weeks, he has been complaining about this awful project he has been working on, with this awful senior associate he calls "Tran" (which I think sounds like the villain in a Kung Fu movie). Anyway, he's been pulling all nighters left and right, blah blah blah. So I finally figure that I'll call and ask him about what he's working on so that he'll get it off his shoulders and then shut up about it. So he starts going on about working on SEC filings and I sort of tune out, but he keeps accidentally blurting out the name of the company and then trying to cover it up with "er, uh, the client". So I do some searches for the company and get to this message board. The company, folks, is none other than... you guessed it, Fuqi International. At the expense of my friend's health and sanity, it sounds like they are going to make the filing deadline that seems to be the sole topic of this message board, so congratulations to all of you faithful shareholders out there. Just thought I'd share this here, as it doesn't really look like anyone else on the web really cares about this little company.
