The status quo was not good for the pps. Even if there was no whistleblowing, there still were no financial disclosures. Share value is a reflection of psychological utility assignments. Even if the product on QTN is relatively valuable (which I cannot confirm b/c have not seen it), the shareholder value is extremely low due to lack of disclosure. If anything, these public disclosures put pressure on QBID to make public the company's financial situations. Additionally, these measures, while painful in the short run, are better in the long run for acquiring equitably fair financing, and for implementing sustainable policies.
On the other hand, we could have gone on kissing .0001 pps for the next 6 months.
Which would you rather have?
