I have read your post, still have not seen anything to convince me that USRI is nothing but your classic pump and dump. The shares the management own is not the shares you should worry about, those are restricted, it's the dilution you should worry about thats the dump after the pump.
Is it possible, the reason for the stock dividend was in hopes of investors holding onto not only their 'dividend' for the required 12 months, but hoping they also hold onto their original shares... thus keeping the PPS up as much as possible till the time comes where they can sell their restricted shares?
