If the subpoena had anything to do with impropriety by the co or officers, and the CEO felt he needed to cover his butt, then maybe yes, you would see some fluffy PRs. The subpoena is not material to the company's endeavors, do you get it? It's like there was a horsefly biting you and the other campers got mad because you didn't tell them about it, instead of continuing to cook the great BBQ they were about to have. Sheesh!....kabob! ;-)
