It could have easily been a disgruntled shareholder as there are many but if they had real info they wouldn't be searching for info as the release suggests. This looks like classic fishing expedition based on the opinion of someone who is upset but has no evidence but thinks it exists. Who knows maybe evedince does exist but there is no way to evaluate what they are trying to suggest since there is nothing revealed. These things are a dime a dozen in the US system and until there is something to evaluate I plan to ignore it. I'm more interested in the company getting back to mining in the coming months and want more info of the details of the plan they are developing.
This may however help explain some recent weakness because someone with stock may have known this was coming, this is a big maybe as it would be considered trading on some knowledge the public doesn't have as only the law firm should have been aware.
