The carrots, i.e. the PR's you refer to are required as are any unscheduled material events. It's not like they could have kept the recent events quiet just because they've had issues in the past.
Regardless... The previous issues you refer to are the reason this stock was available to purchase sub-penny in the first place and are the reason the stock can still be purchased at less than 5 cents per share. Without the checkered past there would be no opportunity to get extremely wealthy from this company. Be happy the price dropped to levels to make such gains. Such wealth is rarely achieved without a fair amount of risk and the good news is that our risk has been mitigated after our debt was taken over by NAK and even further once they started spending money for claim maintenance and further exploration.
If you were in on LBSR prior to such news, there is no reason to not be on board now. Sorry, but if you want a company with a perfect history and the kind of potential value LBSR offers you won't be purchasing it at .05.
