Carter hasn't done anything illegal - he had a well thought out strategy to screw over shareholders. But the shareholders didn't recognize or believe it.
"Was what Billy did 'legal'?
If not, would be able to get $ out of it.
I believe that any action that benefitted him and hurt us was not legal. Further, I do think we would be able to get $ in case of a settlement."
Leane states in her complaint that Carter doesn't have standing to negotiate a settlement without her consent.
Carter and Leane will settle but that doesn't help shareholders - neither she or Carter care about the shareholders - as they aren't going to receive a penny.
This is what happens when you trust a patent troll.
There isn't a pathway for shareholders to receive anything from a settlement. The equity holders are always last in line to be paid - so Bentham is paid first (and Carter is so broke he is living off of the litigation funds) - next are the Attorneys - then IPNAV etc and when it is time to pay the shareholders the settlement funds are gone.
