on sept 15 2010 v.pnn settled with meo and as the pnn website currently states it has a 3% royalty on pincher. when or if meo gets its self organized it may well be the operator of pincher as im sure brown had that hanging over their heads versus a lawsuit which pennine couldnt handle. http://www.penninepetroleum.com/i/pdf/News/2010-09-15_NR.pdf personally i think its over but there is a very small possibility that brown may pull it off but ya got a better chance at the lotto without the ticket.
