Having read the LATEST research report, and no mention of "creating a false market", I can only assume one of the following possibilities:

1) The report was commissioned by the board and was written with a desired outcome. Does this possibility question the independence of the "research"?

2) The report was written by analysts not aware of the report to ASIC by the auditors. Does this possibility call into question the degree of depth of the "research"?

These 2 possibilities are not mtually exclusive.

There may be more possibilities, which may also not be mutually exclusive. I would love to hear any sugggestions as to why the "creating a false market" allegation has not been explained by either the board or the analysts.

PS: it appears that John's explanation has been "The auditors we THE BOARD employed were incompetent". To me all the more reason to simply explain it and move on. Can anyone explain why we haven't heard a word about that?
