RE: Whaler - You can not

[whaler]

"Why were the GERMANS "Allowed" to pay $6 & 7 dollars a share.
The placement should have been done at no higher than $ 1 ...... a $60,000,000 Market cap not a $ 500,000,000 Market cap. It was HYPE and a FRAUD. "


Maroons, that's a great question for Dundee and the others mentioned in the following NR.
I assume this is the PP you refer to as the price is closest to what you have mentioned.


As well here is the historical trading range for the stock on a weekly basis centered around the time the PP closed
