Rockie, you very well may get your wish. They could make an offer of say $3.00 to $5.00 dollars to see if they can get enough takers to go under the radar and take private even though there can be a case made for ten times that amount, albeit over a two to five year time span.
If this happens then you know for sure the latter is correct as they would not anything for small potatoes. Again actions are VERY telling, the very fact these criminals still own large percentages should tell people a whole lot. If this is worth the small potatoes that I have mentioned, these type of money people would have been gone moons ago!
