Good post, Medinahminer, sadly I think stories like yours are common. Glad you got out.

When the piano man and the guy from SLC bolted, it was time for us all to jettison.
hits home. To Kirkland's credit, he did his best to warn stockholders that the deal Medinah was negotiating with the Letts, et al, wasn't "necessarily in the stockholders best interests", or something to that effect. Kudos for that heads up, and a "F U" to Les and the rest of the scoundrels running the scam on his way out.
Stupidly I never sold, or at least haven't since 2013. It is an immaterial portion of my portfolio (becoming more and more immaterial every week, LOL!), and held in retirement accounts so harvesting tax losses does nothing for me. Part of the reason I've hung on is I feel I have license to post truth as a stakeholder.
It is so enlightening to hear how "bashers" upset some, especially those who fail to place the true blame as to the complete disintegration of common shareholder value.
