InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[hock1]

The reason IDCC made the statement of "substantial progress" is that they believed they had a deal. Rick Simonson pulled the rug out at the last moment and apparently enjoyed saying that he wasn't as optimistic as investors (in IDCC). How often do you hear a CFO of a major company make a statement about a particular day's trading in another company's stock? The answer is that he was very tuned into IDCC's stock price and was (maybe still is) involved in the suppression (i.e., manipulation) of IDCC's stock. AIMO.
