The way I look at it (and this is only my opinion based on what I am reading on these forums) is that, concerning the lawsuit, there are 3 possibilities. This is all based on a possible hearing to take place in December.
1. We get paid sometime before the hearing takes place. (What we all want.)
2. The hearing takes place and it is determined that this will go to trial. This would be a lengthy process, and the fate will then be in the hands of the jury.
3. A dismissal happens on or before the hearing, in which case we still may receive a settlement, although less likely, and the lawsuit would then lose its “leverage.”
In the meantime, there are many discussions on whether or not the shareholders should demand investigations from Senators, Attorney Generals, Congressmen, the FBI, the DOJ, the DTCC, etc. I have to wonder if these actions will:
a. Help put the pressure on to release the funds.
b. Interfere with and hinder the process of releasing the funds.
c. Have no effect whatsoever on the outcome.
The problem that I have with these discussions is that I do not know whether or not these actions could cause detrimental interference. What I do know is that Attorney Hodges knows exactly who is holding up the funds, is a qualified attorney, and is using legal means to get the funds released. What we are discussing is making demands towards those who may or may not be involved, without legal recourse.
I believe that Attorney Hodges is negotiating with the proper people behind the scenes. Do we really want to take a chance on bringing a halt to those negotiations because of interference that we caused? I don’t. Although I believe there are people on these forums who would like nothing better. I have never understood why any real shareholder would seriously want Attorney Hodges to put forth evidence on these forums for those people to see.
As long as the lawsuit is still being actively pursued, I prefer to leave it in the capable hands of the person who knows exactly what is going on. If he asks for my help, I will give it. In the meantime, whenever you shoot an arrow in the dark, you never know if you may hit a friend or a foe. Perhaps it is best to wait until there is better visibility. My reasoning is to reduce the chances of shooting ourselves in the foot.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. This is mine, right or wrong.
