"a lot of people can't buy shares because of this DTC fiasco"
This problem with the chill speaks to so many issues its unreal. This so called friendly financing he is wanting and talking about will sour when the inquiry into this evolves and why will be a huge obstacle. Putting handcuffs on a private placement before walking in the door is hardly a healthy situation. Eric has referred to this as a small technical glitch / issue. This is the most misleading statement one could make. This is a DTC violation not a mis shipped order. There is only one way out, go private and later resurface with a new cusip #. That approx cost to fight the DTC is known. You can bet Eric has consulted his attorney on this issue and he knows whats involved and its way beyond a technical issue. Has anyone asked about an update from him lately? If not I can't imagine why not? along with the outcome of those meetings on finance in NYC while on his /hers extended stay.JMO
