... you're saying that the laws of supply & demand has
been temporarily suspended in this instance. Maybe the court
approved that too? I mean, doesn't water flow up hill if
your ideology demands that it do so?

Yep

.... That's all they tell you. It is certainly
not a fair conclusion that the shares held by people who wanted to sell
represented a majority of the outstanding shares.

And when the price goes from $80 to about $15 (both prices
split adjusted) a share?

You're tapdancing on a very wobbly plank, Dave.

But like I said, if your ideology demands that you say water
flows up hill, you say it vehemently and try to prove it
with all your lawyerly wiles. I guess that can be a good
characteristic. But the fact remains that water does not
flow up hill.
