I believe we're seeing a good bit of market price manipulation but any company that enters into an agreement to keep confidential the terms of a settlement that is 'MATERIAL' is just asking for this kind of market valuation.
It is hard to understand why this kind of agreement was made. OK for the defendants but when it's the only kind of revenue Patriot has they are acting directly against the best interests of shareholders.
Just telling us what they have in the bank as of Dec 31st would help enormously. Don't have to tell us where they got it, just that they have it.
