Pretty simple, my friend. If a shareholder lost money and something outside market forces caused that loss, one shareholer or a whole class (class action) can sue for damages. Its the legal costs to OWC that are the risks. How about this, what would you think if the financier gets cold feet hearing about a potential monster class action? How about legal fees wiping out the current money thats for testing and research? Or how about this, investors put money in this company based on what they were told by an influential "investor", not knowing he was a "paid shill" who pumped the stock, with higher values coming into the company, and the company never said anything, while collecting higher prices for their stock. Not pretty.
