JT- I wouldn't worry about the past to much at this point. A lot has changed since then and most are buying due to the fact they believe in the company and their word. Buying on speculation at a lower price is the option right now and buying at a higher price when the deals are done is the next option. It's hard to imagine this is all bs but if one is thinking that or questioning things then the 2nd option is the best plan. Everyone will make profits on this stock if the company sticks to the plan.
Anything can happen tho and this is just my opinion. Everyone should do their own dd and decide for themselves. Good luck trading!
