The SEC thing has definitely been a side show.  My ultra-conspiracy theorist thoughts lead to JBI setting this up themselves to buy time for developing the machine and providing the distraction.  Of course that's nonsense, but hey, this is JBII where anything's possible. I mean it's funny how the SEC settlement and the final design of the machine could happen simultaneously.

Make it go away. Maybe some time in the future a separate case can be brought against those responsible if there is a place to clearly place blame outside the company where people instigating the case made big money from the mess.  But I doubt it is that cut and dry.  Yes, there may have been people looking for a way to bring JB/JBII down.  But I still believe that JB left the door wide open for it to happen and those people jumped at the opportunity.  And they may have made a ton of money from it, but I don't know how that plays out in a court of law. Especially if shares were not short sold until after the news was made public.

So I'm with ihubdetective on this. Just settle and put this in the past.  If nothing else, techisbest can quit harping on it.
