He told me that all parties wanted to settle this quickly
You're better than this Iron.
Les Goldman (RIP) was a pathological liar. This is not opinion this was fact.
I remember when he had disgraced blogger Chris LaCoursiere eating out of his hands. The BS he used to pass along to Chris so that he could pump to the board, the list is endless. Don't believe me, go to X and ask Chris.
I'm quite confident of the other side of this one. There isn't going to be a settlement, even if there is one we're years away from a negotiation.
Do you realize what happens if there's a settlement? Any stock that suffers a selloff is going to be targeted by the suits who will be looking for a quick payoff.
