skiguy - "That being said, given STSI's past of releasing press releases on everything possible, I cannot imagine how they would not have put something out by now at the very least giving an update on the situation."

@skiguy - That is incorrect. One of my complaints with management is that they do NOT make full use of the free promotion that can be generated through the issuance of PRs. It has now been over three weeks since the company issued a PR. They did not even issue a PR for the peer reviewed article from Johns Hopkins being published in the journal "Endo". That was only the second peer reviewed article on their primary product and no PR? This company has to be the most reserved, non-self promoting company I've ever seen.

Given your history of denigrating anything and anybody associated with Star, I suppose the inaccuracy of your statement about Star's PRs is to be expected. Similiarly, I am also not surprised that your "pure guess" about the settlement is negative. But my "pure guess" is that your analysis of the settlement will turn out to be just as flawed as your reference to anatabine as "snakeoil".

One thing is for sure, the truth is coming. And the wait will not be as long as it has been. When that day arrives, perhaps you will tell us who you really work for...

skiguy - "My guess (pure guess) is that Star agreed not to pursue Reynolds any more in court and Reynolds agreed to drop their claim to the $35 million they wanted for legal fees."

You persist in this argument even though attorney's fees were not an issue. RJR used that false issue as an excuse to get Star into court ordered mediation. RJR did not want to appear to be going to Star "hat in hand" and used this as cover. Given that CAFC reversed most of the District Court ruling, RJR was never going to be awarded attorney's fees. But CAFC settled the attorney's fees question when it issued this ruling, "AFFIRMED-IN-PART AND REVERSED-IN-PART Each party shall bear its own costs."

The mediated settlement conference was NOT about attorneys fees. Therefore, Star had NO reason to walk away empty-handed. We'll know what they walked away with in a few weeks...
