No, Brown going directly to 10 billion shares would take all the drama out of it. You see, he's filled with honesty and integrity. He needs you and other shareholders to feel his pain. He doesn't want to raise the A/S count every 15 days, it's just that, well, the new board members will be coming by any day for their shares now and the new CEO who may or may not take over the company has to gain control somehow just in case. And those pesky naked short sellers are really put off when the CEO of the company dumps another 200M discounted shares into the hands of the PIPE funders twice a month which the PFs immediately sell into the float...because it destroys the illusion of their conspiracy and makes it look as if honest, intregrity filled, hard working, pious, charitable men like JD and Harrs are low life, grifting dirtbag chump change artists who would sell their mother's shoes for a nickel (that's 250 shares if you're counting...well if you're counting quick, it will be 500 tomorrow) in the dead of winter which of course we all know they never would. Probably. IMHO.
