We shoulda' seen this comin'.........
...well, here's one highly uneducated guess.
...After the July 3 H-bomb PR, when SP starting tanking, an investor (or maybe a group of them) who had big skin in the game, were lucid enough to put together some kind of roadmap for ASC to review, laying out their accusations, complaints, and/or a misreprentation case.
...with that in hand, the ASC would likely have forced at least to take a cursory look into what had been presented. Whether this has been ongoing, or whether the initial complainants felt unsatisfied with ASC's ruling regarding the QP changes and core handling protocols, and again lobbied ASC for a second round of examinations is unclear.
...but in reading the complaint, it's clear that they are ready to issue more formal penalties. The initial halt was to "review" company policies and protocols; Possibly ASC allowed trading to resume with those changes mentioned above immediately needed, but this might be the finalization of whatever loose ends were left.
...LaLa?................thoughts?
