Vette, IMO it's a combination of two dynamics.  1) Hedgies who never want to cover their NSS positions in combination with personal vendetta's for a multitude of reasons.  A guy who wasn't hired or was fired, another thinks his rig was stolen or are these just made up stories?
Maybe ex- shareholders taking these basher's sides because they lost money on the stock? 
2) Combine  all the above with a company who couldn't PR anything accurately prior to Sean coming on board.  They still can't schedule accurately or complete a milestone or financial on time. 99% of Mulshine's 2011 and 2012 PR's were borderline fraudulent IMO.  The PR's were blatantly advertising huge projects and new leases that were never inked yet sold to the public as imminent.  What do you think the average longs PPS is after averaging years of buying common and restricted?  Sickening!
