"Except for RM there is very little management skin in the game.If we shareholders don't end up with a $1.00 minimum then management should be embarrassed to take any money. I still own $5 shares."

Jimmi, my first thought on RM's skin in the game "a pawn". Used by management to show that someone from the company is actually buying shares to show interest.

My thought is that if a comany has come to bankruptcy and they have 2 people working in IR and one is very high paying (not sure of Andreas wage) then they should both be cut to save on expenses. Really what is the point of IR? There is E&Y monitoring the company and posting to their site.

With that said as we can see in the latest court docs that RM is included in the award process. VP Investor Relations, huh? Does the company really need to spend this money "salary"? Its a court case now. There is nothing whatsoever that can be said without a PR/E&Y site or really if you think about it ever was. As of right now the company wants to keep people on board that have been involved in the process. How many times has RM said he had been waiting or has been updated from RF. Doesn't sound like a person that is in the know or is of importance to the outcome of a legal brief for an arb case...just my two cents!

Management should be embarrassed to take any money but I really doubt they will be. They have been in it for themselves all along. Slowly the shareholders have been squeezed down to the now "pink sheets". Once on the pink sheets its anyones game. The company now has a golden parachute against shareholders so they really can take whatever comes their way. The shareholders were basically used (investing in VZ/KRY) to get their way. They have their way now but I must add IF approved by the court.
