    That would apply to listing it in the first place, they’re still morons for thinking they could claim innocence about it in court.

      Again, modern strategy for corporations in lawsuits is to delay, delay, delay. The purpose is to continue drawing things out as long as possible. They knew full well it would fail. But it’s a delay.

        Cool story, they’re still morons who likely did think they would get away with it.

        Honestly, I don’t know why some of you act like you’re the only ones who understand corporate legal strategy.
