If common shareholders were not protected, there would soon be no stock trading. Therefore, I expect you and others are correct. Otherwise, scammers would quickly destroy the market. In our case, insiders would be vulnerable to prosecution if those with lesser shares were 'ripped off'. In any case, I don't think Mr. Carter has intentions to cheat fellow shareholders. That does not compute. What transpires here is very public, and obvious. Court records every step of the way!
UOIP!
