I think you got it exactly right. Think about it people. We know WL has said this lawsuit is frivolous. We also know that the plaintiffs want to hurt mmte and the pps. What a better way to do it than file a complaint or useless lawsuit to not allow people to buy the stock or at the least cause problems. From the plaintiffs point of view, they may think this helps their cause.
Likewise, there are some speculations now that the suit has become personal now and not based on business/investing decisions.
