I am sure not many CEO's spend their time reading IHUB message boards and respond to all of the comments. Seems like that would be insider information. Getting the news out with a PR is the best way to handle distribution of information. Speculation isn't facts...that's why DD is so important and sometimes trusting your gut.
I kinda figured the settlement would be low, although not 2.75 mil and had planned to bail if it was. I did not factor in the MMs gapping it down 75% in premarket. That was utter bullshit.
