in listening to the call a second time, Cyrus / Anthony referred the SEC and DOJ ongoing investigations. He talked about the "hurdles" he was confident could be addressed which would be those legal items, the hold, etc. One thing i had not thought about - it's clear we don't get a partner until the hold is lifted. Could the same be true about the other legal proceedings with the SEC and DOJ - would a partner want those resolved before signing on with us?

i'd be curious if anyone with legal perspective has an opinion - how big a deal are these things and realistically how quickly can they be put to bed?.
