Exactly...Especially when you have 5 other fraud tickers you can move to and sell through. When the evidence is presented, you give it up to stay out of orange. Vakser saw the evidence that Kent presented and made the wise choice...he settled...the new share series is what was created as the settlement. Genius on the behalf of Kent.
That makes sense in PRIVATE dispute..but this is a >>PUBLIC<< company. If Linduff uncovered evidence that Vakser, Blumenthal and others have been ripping off investors I don't think he (Linduff) has the unilateral authority to "settle the matter out of court" in order to enrich himself. Imo the SEC has a dog in any fight that involves questionable if not illegal activity.
