Listen I gave up on this stock a long time ago. I have heard all this bs year after year. I don't know what is going to come of this. It sounds realistic, bob and Al and the others sound like they have evidence that their is money for us. The point that I'm trying to make is, this is not a done deal and if their is a way for AL to say to the sec or white house, make us an offer to go away I think that option should be on the table. I'm pretty sure if news came out that we were getting 10 cents a share there would be no one on this board who would have lost money on this investment. So talking this BS that "I'm going to wait til we get all our money, $6 a share" is ridiculous. Bob I have never asked you a question, I have really only posted on this board 3 times, but can you ask Al the liklihood of the powers that be making a deal to end this ordeal and to get the shareholders some money. Just throwing the idea out there. I'm pretty sure we have reasonable people here that want to put this behind us, instead of being strung along for another 5 years.
Thanks

I hear everyone that is saying take a deal, but if it was a dollar, why would we agree to .10? That is just letting the bad guys win. If it was $2.00 would you take $1 and let them keep half? Doesn't sound right does it?
Did this all get setup just for us to give up right at the end? Are we going to listen to all the new posters coming in here and saying we should accept so much less?
What would Bob (Maheu) do?
WWBD?

jeremiah007, Finally some reason on this thread...THANK YOU. To all the others who want to sell out....shame on you. This is about what is right regardless of PPS.
So many correlations could be made about this thread and the mentality of people today. Forget the past and the hard work of those before us. Dont go the extra mile, etc, etc, etc.
I do understand that some on OUR TEAM may be in financial hard times. That any settlement will help and the sooner the better. The rest of us need to support them and work harder so that we can help get this finished.

Thanks i agree maraman......everyone thinks there is $6pps sitting in a fund somewhere.....yet we still havent seen any evidence of such a trust of gigantic proportion.....i think if we get a reasonable offer with evidence to the money collected from IBM, i would hope that the plaintiffs give that consideration since after all they are the ones that will be accepting or declining NOT US.....

Hurricane:
Shame on me?!
Let me explain something to you. I bought stock in a company. I bought it looking to make a profit - a large profit. I did NOT buy it with the thought of correcting the ills in the world. But, after buying into pretty much everything that was being floated about this "too good to be true" investment, and hearing all the .23 pps and .54 pps proclamations... I deduced that somewhere around .07-.08 pps was a reasonable expectation... and would be extremely life-changing for me and my loved ones.
Now, here we are many years later, as I approach my 60th year... and as circumstances worked out, I have virtually nothing for my wife and I to retire on.
I did not get into this to change the world... and watching deserving evildoers do a perpwalk will not put food on the table or pay off my mortgage.
Would I like to see all the bad guys get theirs? Certanly! Would I like to get gazillions of dollars, instead of the relatively small amount that I originally projected? Okay. Sure, why not?
Would I be willing to take what my original projection was, if it meant riding into the sunset and leaving all this drama behind? ABSOLUTELY!
...and if that is shameful in your eyes... then, so be it...
Ed

Not sure about anyone else here, but if $3.87 trillion dollars is on the line, which accounts for what roughly $6 a share and we are supposedly entitiled to this money. Can someone get in contact with Al and tell him to make a deal for less if it will get this deal done. I'm pretty sure most people here would take .50 to a $1 dollar per share and if that means the government can keep the rest, hell let them. I would be very happy with .50 cent per share. Any other takers. SO AL LETS MAKE A DEAL......BOB PASS THE MESSAGE ALONG!!!! WTFRU smokin' and not sharing? Absolutely asinine post.

two term limit, drop the senate from six to 4 yrs and increase the house from 2 to 4 yrs, keep those suckers from constantly being in election mode.
Pass the amendment that Congress Shall Pass no law that doesn't apply equally to them and the normal citizenry.
Abolish the unconstitutional income tax on wages, tax only profits as the the constitution allows.
Tell the FED to stuff it. Get our currency backed by gold and other commodities.
Tell the rest of the world to piss off and deal with their own shi*. Use previous foreign aid money to fund our crumbling infrastructure and research. Do what it takes to become energy independent
Shoot the Bankers.
It'd be a d*mn good start.

ONE MORE TIME............
I don't know if this is true or not, but about four months ago a reliable source told me when I asked how much, he said somewhere between .54 & $2.00 a share and not to belive all this crap about $6.00 a share!!

One thing I forgot, repeal the perks that Congress has written for itself over the years, including that obscene retirement and health care package.
