SEC could have sent out a warning saying PHOT is suspected of violating the following laws and provide a time line when they will/might suspend trading PHOT stock. Giving current shareholders an opportunity to either cash out and sell the stock now or wait it out and see what happens when the court convenes and decide whether PHOT and its management are guilty. This way not causing major losses to current and possible future shareholders. Your argument is very lame at best. If this is the way we should run the world then we should shoot all the innocent people because one day one of them might be a murderer right? Does that make a lot of sense?
