"Why is Fish not taken PTSC stock. 5,5000,000 shrs @.60/shr = $3.3 million dollars vs the $3million he gets in the settlement."

I noticed the above as well and could only conclude that Fish took a discount for cash avoiding the risk of SP volatility. The Family Trust has a proven history of poor judgement regarding these patents and probably wants to cashout and move on in disgust. I have encountered similar mindsets within my own family affairs. Some folks are by nature their own worst enemy when it concerns money and wealth. They just can't deal with it. Thankfully I can.

Best wishes to all and keep your cool!!
