I'm all for transparency, truth and the rule of law. It has produced the following results.
1) EIGH was suspended from trading and then banished to the greys. Why? Because the SEC evaluated the company and determined management and promoters where misleading investors. Now you can't sell your shares if you wanted to......there is no market.
2) CDIV was suspended from trading and will be banished to the greys. Why? Because the SEC determined the company and related promoters were issuing false and incomplete information on the company. In the future these shares will also have no market.
3) Monk remains under investigation and this has caused he and his inner circle to go radio silent. Obviously because they know that continued promotion of misleading information and false theories (ie. FLDs and your "airshare" nonsense) will land them in jail
4) Monk's deposition related to the civil lawsuit against him revealed that he was dumping FLD shares while you and the rest of the team were exhorted to buy and hold
5) All publicly available information related to EIGH, CDIV, etc. reveals there is no short position. The only people flogging this claim are EIGH mgmt (who also brought you lies of the $40M windfall, the related dividend that wasn't, various untruths related to mergers, etc.), promoters and unsophisticated investors
6) The intrinsic value of the shares is the ultimate data point. You hold shares that are "valued" at a penny, but are really worthless because they no longer trade
Yep, I think that this investigation has been a great thing for investors. Not for those holding EIGH and the FLDs, but for future investors who will be properly warned to avoid this scam.
