Sprocket, in this case F-3 was going on advice of their attorney which, IMO, was not good advice. Attorneys are attorneys, they are skilled in matters of law, but most are definitely not skilled in stocks or the stock market, they use a broker for that. A little research on the attorney's part would have revealed that gagging a TA, especially when residing in the Pinks, is not a smart idea, especially in light of the fact that F-3 has always provided stellar illuminating transparency to its shareholders. IMO that is the ONLY reason we are seeing what we are seeing.
