I posted this on Tuesday and was told that it would be illegal. I really think this is what is going on. They have been holding on to the PR for weeks now so that they could buy more at a lower price. If they continue to reduce the o/s, I really don't have a problem with it. The more they are able to reduce the o/s, the more valuable our shares will be when they finally release the numbers. Also, if they are really buying back shares, it is a good sign for the rest of the shareholders.

Thoughts on this scenario?
1. They need to raise some money, so they dilute.
2. They finally have the numbers, and they believe that the numbers are good.
3. Before they release the numbers, they need to do something about the amount of shares that exist.
4. They hold off on releasing the numbers to drive the stock price down further.
5. Once the price gets low enough (around .0005 to .0006), they begin buying shares. Have you noticed the huge chunks of shares that have been bought once or twice per day for the last 3 weeks?
6. Once they have bought back enough shares, they finally release the numbers.
Seems logical to me.
