,...don't expect a PR today (even if a deal has been made). Even the SEC would look at that sequence of events suspiciously.

The whole "process" has been farked all along now, why change the trend? The SEC never got involved in any of the shenanigans yet and seems there have been a number of suspicious items on both sides. (You have been correctly eluding to the bought financing deal, and the stock price action that week.)

Chavez still no comment,

Kry no comment further explaning the sitch........

Chinese should be back to work by now after the holiday, where is their 2 cents in this matter?

Bring on the PR. I do not care what it costs, a PR announcing bare bone cutbacks (and arrbitration plan) would save money. Who knows where the PPS goes after that? I guess UP.

IMO HB
