"People who will suffer the most with a reverse split will be the management."

Your first sentence reminds me of the following story, about how different newspapers react to the same facts.  The scene, a planet-killer asteroid is found to be heading straight toward earth:

London Times:  Asteroid Headed to Earth, Planet to be Destroyed!

NY Times:   Dow Crashes By Ninety Percent!

Washington Post:  Asteroid to Strike Earth, Poor Blacks to Suffer Most
