Thanks and your welcome.....but I didn't have to figure any of that out. The case has been publicly available to look at for around 5 yrs or so and it listed all the charges. In fact you can see them delineated on their stupid website (locksmithfinancial) that they haven't updated in years, but it does show (for the benefit of vplm'ers) what they were suing for. I thought vplm sued 1st and then countersuit from Locksmith but someone says locksmith sued 1st, which doesn't make sense to me. The whole thing became public knowledge when sawyer posted a PR back around 2014 or so stating an audit revealed the missing shares and that they were taken w/o authorization (yet sawyer was likely the one who signed off on it in the 1st place, altho I guess it could've been Chang? He said all the proper gov't authorities had been notified and he was freezing the shares (or maybe he just meant he would attempt to freeze the shares?). One source says that the shares were never taken or missing in the 1st place. I know for a fact that at least some shares were paid to Kipping for his loans to the company. Next thing I knew (as far as I remember) vplm filed suit and then later I thought RK countersued with the suit you can see on their website, but it was for fraud, et al, and nothing mentioned about shares (maybe the shares were mentioned in a deeper look at the locksmith suit, but thats not mentioned at all on the info on their site. And maybe I have the order of sue me/sue you backwards, I'll have to look that up again.
In any event, to call this verdict a win for vplm, well, lol, says alot!
