The fact that there was volume in trading of the stock prior to an announcement lends to the "possibility" that info relating to that announcement was discovered by someone prior to the announcement. Whether PTSC management has offered to compensate shareholders in various circumstances has nothing to do with that. I would think that if a shareholder was offered compensation it would have been in return for services rendered. If that was not the case, yes, I would have a problem with that.

It seems you are somehow linking the fact that SGE has talked to management before and the possibilty that SGE has been offered compensation by the company. I have talked to management at many public companies in the past. Does that mean they've also offered me compensation?

Maybe the surge in volume before the settlement announcement was due to some info that Laurie or Wolf had discovered but had only shared with a select few. We know that has happened before and we know the philosophy of Laurie and her defenders is that there is no obligation to share info and she will withhold info if she feels like it. Maybe you can ask Laurie and Wolf whether they knew anything before the settlement announcement. Maybe you should ask Ron as I know he has talked to PTSC management in the past. Maybe you should give Brian a call as we all know he had connections in the past.

Shall I continue?
