RE: just a re post here guys The people behind A*L know all that; they are smart enough to know the risk of hogwash. Thing is, they would not really care if it is hogwash or not; just whether (a) it accomplishes the goal of depressing the stock price for a period of time (I expect there were hoping for more depression and for a longer period of time -- Rui killed that); and (b) provides them an "out" to lay blame elsewhere and get them off the "willful misrepresentation" hook. It's the latter that will be at play in the SC suit. We'll see how they make out there on that matter.
