Can't say its beneficial or not, its really neutral. No bearing. Kind of like having someone coming in 1 hour late to a movie and you are asked to explain what has happened so far, and would it be worthwhile to sit until the end of the movie. If I had a copy of the script I would hand it to him.
But the share price now, or even if a 'whale' bought in, will not influence the amount received either in a settlement or in a court case. The tail does not wag the dog, which seems to be what you are thinking.
