Thanks for chiming in, nodummy. As usual, great work.
One thing, though... the ex date for the cash divvy was 8/19 and they were obligated to pay out to all holders of shares as of that date. By then, with the massive volume which was approaching 2 billion just in the last 10-15 trading sessions, the o/s and float were clearly vastly inflated. And there were many reports of people receiving divvies that were well over $10k. Including the insider holdings, I guessed that they were on the hook for somewhere around $3million.
The question I have, is how they are getting all these newly issued shares freely tradable. Via illegal opinion letters as Janice suggested to me? We're talking upwards of 400m new shares. Could that have been allowed for prior to the a/s being that high?
