Interesting that the judged said "I hope that this didn’t happen because it’s a scheme of tremendous proportions" which is the same major point Patrick Byrne makes in his recent presentation.
I'll never forget the time when the press attacks and BONY error took the price down in chunks like a feeding frenzy. I know Globetel was ripe and juicy (possibly even set up to be from the inside imo), what with no strat and a very dubious Russian deal, but it came so hard and so fast that it certainly had the appearance of a motivated, coordinated, professional effort.
Now after years of howling shareholders and a few brave CEO's, it looks as though the loopholes may be noose-ening. (instead of loosening, get it?)
