Been watching for a couple of years, and so far nothing, no evidence of shorts, no evidence of anything, this company should be able to stand on its own, but obviously not, if people are relying on a short conspiracy for their shares to rise, sorely mistaken. If such a travesty exists, why invest? Again, for the sake of argument you are correct, lawsuits are minimal and the only thing the investor is entitled to is to receive their original monies back. Not much of an investment here. but we'll keep watching, can't wait for those dividends to be paid, if ever, and watch nothing happen.
