The timing of a pronouncement regarding a BOD meeting approving a R/S is very odd if true. Seems an attempt to scare sellers. If there was a recent event it should be looked in to. It might just be banter, but it could cross a line if inside info is being used to scare shareholders. In the whole big picture who cares, except for the fact that someone the Board of Directors trusts is back stabbing leaking information.
There could be a concerted effort by MM to try to make the stock go down. If they are trading just 5,000,000 shares a month at a .002 profit that is a profit of 10g's a month. I doubt anyone believes that a press release over a year and a half ago would have relevance today.
