"The amount of the settlement was so small as to be embarassing or they are trying to get rid of shareholders by pizzing them off."

What would be the motivation behind getting rid of shareholers, If there is not a plan to unite all patents and patent holders into a portfolio owned solely by one company ? Sure would save some cash not having to pay PTSC board fees, bonuses and salaries. Along with closing PTSC s' physical place of business and terminating PTSCs' own legal representation team. More money could be conserved by closing down PDS and Alliacense. Selling off all the worthless subsidiaries under PTSCs' umbrella might even add a small amount of capital to TPLs' coffer.

And the biggest advantage to the money-grubbing, ...becoming a non-reporting, private business. After which, all evidence of prior mis-appropriations, co-mingling and fiduciarary mis-doings, will never resurface.

There's no accountability to shareholders, at all. What can we do if this is the road we travel down ? PTSCs' leadership has been as effective as a "fart in a hurricane" when it comes to creating shareholder value. I would not be surprised if they are secretly involved in a conspiracy against their shareholders. (locking themselves in as BoD members to keep "new blood" out, to maintain their secrets and goals.)

I used to think having 400 million shares would act as a good poisin pill. Todays shareprice negates that strategy.
