Well…..then…….I mean why should an executive leadership group ever have reason to be clandestine. Hmm I’m having trouble maybe it’s:


Making misleading statements or predictions about a stock price during a merger can be a form of securities fraud, which is broadly prohibited by SEC Rule 10b-5.

This includes any intentionally false or misleading statements or omissions of material facts that would influence an investor's decision. In a merger, this can involve misleading investors about the company's financial health, the true value of the deal, or the synergies expected from the transaction.

Securities fraud can also occur if predictions or actions are made with the deliberate intent to manipulate the stock price for personal gain. Tactics include:

Circulating misinformation to drive the stock price up or down.

Not saying it’s happening, but if it is There not going to broadcast it at the Standards meeting.
