The going private thing does seem like one of the possibilities as to what is going on. But if they are intentially tanking the price to do so, that is in theory something that the board is supposed to not allow. Their general duty is to do things that look out for the value of the company.
So if that does end up being what they do, there may still be grounds for a civil suit.
But its also possible that the companies actions are either because they are doing other shady stuff and trying to hide or it could just be they dont give a damn and are willing to flip the bird too the shareholders. And either Gene doesn;t care because he makses his money on royalties and his affiliated companies or he figures at some point in the future they will start acting like a real company when he want to sell.
So who knows whats going on, other than them telling the shareholders to go f off. I wish they werent in Australia, otherwse someone could go visit their office and demand talking to someone.
