Their major claims are easily disproven. Empty off

Their major claims are easily disproven. Empty offices? Nope. (And though Philip Kim tried to claim that the Boston Business article writer was not a trusted source, HIS source, an anonymous article with a picture taken in the middle of the night, is obviously so untrustworthy that no one would believe that BS.) As far as the science being "flawed," that is also obviously untrue, and again Rosen/Kim's anonymous imaginary biochemist source was easily refuted by the large amount of data (and articles by respected scientists -- like the Seeking Alpha one by the guy writing under his own name) that even the most cursory internet search (and the company's website) would have revealed.

So what they can try to fight for are minor claims: that long before the period in question, Menon was erroneously listed as having gotten a Ph.D. from Harvard. And, now they are trying to dig up some other dirt that no one knew about -- so even if something heinous were true, it in no way could have affected anyone's decision to invest in the company.

They are so screwed. Even as poorly as the court system often functions, I don't think this judge is going to want to waste time on a trial, when her docket is undoubtedly filled with cases that genuinely need to be heard for a decision on their merits.

That doesn't mean, of course, that they won't try to drag this out. Far from it, they're going to try to drag it out as long as they can, hoping that the company will give up.
