LOL that would be a huge surprise, all right. I've heard of a zombie stock but I've never seen a zombie CEO!
I must be the only one who remembers this stock from a dozen years ago. The device never existed. Welch was a shameless con artist and criminal. When the SEC closed in, he pretended to move the company to London but in reality he went on the lam to the Bahamas where he hid for a few years.
Until he was murdered -- stabbed, two fingers cut off, and throat cut. Ouch. Not clear in what order that all happened.
