doog....we have no way of knowing how many retail investors sought legal opinions...and were told by their attorney that when you invest in a company where all the regulatory agencies have posted warnings (Buyer Beware)...and you ignore their printed warnings...you have little recourse regardless of the lies you were told by the CEO. Any judge would laugh your attorney out of the court.
How many investors have tucked tail for that same reason in how many pinky stocks?? There are seldom any assets left to fight over in Caveat Emptor land.
