Way to go Popps!
On behalf of all of us thank you so much for your sizeable contribution! I wish I was in a better position to fund this movement but as my handle says I am a foolandhermoney and we were soon parted!
I first bought in after it was a top pick on BNN back in 2009. I invested way too much in this company over time as I saw the sagging share price as a good value instead of a warning. I relied heavily on the Press Releases, balance sheets and Analysist opinions indicating it was still a good investment. I stand to lose about a third of my portfolio if our shares are cancelled. My husband and I are only about 10 years from retirement and this has set us back another 10 years. This is people's lives they are messing with, their dreams, their hard earned money.
I have learned a very valuable (and costly) lesson in all this and will never be so trusting again. I also looked up the firm before contributing and feel very confident we are in good hands. The fact they have taken on our cause so readily gives legitimacy to the notion we were all decieved and mislead, and are being fleeced.
Having this bullboard to support each other and knowing I am not alone (actually quite the opposite, I am in good company) has been the only saving grace in this whole process. There is no shame in being the victim of fraud, which I believe is what we are. We have to stand up to this company and it's creditors and thanks to the incredible effort of key shareholders that is exactly what we are going to do.

Thanks for your post, and take care. For ALL: Consider my challenge: Contribute 2 tenths of a cent per share................ Ain't a lot considering the benefit we will (likely) see. Popps
