I hate to bring up Bodie, but I want to ask a coup

I hate to bring up Bodie, but I want to ask a couple questions about it since I finally feel like I have a good grasp on what transpired.

If you have read the claims Bodie filed in court and Marani's answer, perhaps you can help discuss this reasonably.

Marani states in its answer filed to the court, "Defendant is informed and believes and on that basis alleges that Plaintiff intentionally manipulated Marani’s stock price by publishing in public investor fora false or misleading statements of material fact, which it knew or had reasonable ground to believe was false or misleading, designed to lower Marani’s stock price."

My first question: If it is true that Bodie has "published false or misleading statements...known to be misleading or false, designed to lower Marani's stock price" and true that mediation doesn't have to be completed until 04/10/2015, wouldn't it behoove Bodie to continue attempting to "lower Marni's stock price" in the case that Bodie is awarded additional shares?

If Bodie is awarded additional shares, wouldn't they desire the price to be lower so as to receive additional shares? Could mediation (at least in Bodie's eyes) grant them additional shares?

I can't help but consider that the majority of comments made on the other board might be connected to this case.

I am by no means a sunshine pumper. I hope, want, and even root at times for MRIB to soar. However, I've been critical at times, hopefully constructively critical. Yet, trying to view this objectively, it makes me wonder if Bodie continues to influence the pps as it looks ahead to the mediation scheduled to be completed by 04/10/2015.

Any thoughts?

Edit: It just hit me: I should post this on the other board to see if it gets deleted.
