"and his iron fist control ended with the run-up to $2.20, with him holding nearly half the stock."

I don't believe Swartz ever held anything close to half the stock. Care to share your calculations on this.

"but only the BoD (& Swartz) have been making money on this stock the last 4+ yrs."

I don't believe the BOD has ever made money on this STOCK. They've made money as employees of this company, as all employees do for the company they work for. I do agree with you that they've been overpaid, not based on the stock price performance, which as a BB stock is not as controllable by them as some posters here would like to make you think. But they've been overpaid based on the amounts they've awarded themselves for committe/committe chair positions.
