Besides, no matter how it is spun, those warrants were issued to serve as collateral. They were not freely given by the shareholders of the corporations and I'm reasonably sure that disposition of 79.9% of both corporations, under corporate law, would require approval by the equity holders of both corporations. There was no approval and the percentage was set by the government without further shareholder approval. The value of the warrants at the time of issuance was a mind boggling, utterly ridiculous $40,000! I would have written that check myself.
Let's have a jury trial and see if a jury could possibly be seated that would side with the government's ridiculous premise.
