It really has nothing to do with the bashers looking for arguments, there are plenty available to them at this stage. While there are many otc stocks that trade much higher with no audits, how many of them had audits promised that did not come to fruition, along with several missing updates. It appears apples and oranges to me. For this reason alone, in my opinion, the audit is needed. Will it stop all bashing, no, but it would aid to lessen of the efficacy in their argument/s.
