Actually, it's a pretty good scam. Stock price went though the roof for about a year. Still there is room for improvement. Some weaknesses:
- it's dragging on too long. for a stock scam, you want a quick cash grab. the longer it goes on, the more certain that the truth will leak out.
- too many shares to unload for such a lightly traded stock.
- OSS community is too movited, too fast, follows the case too closely. About an hour after something is filed, it's all over the internet. every document and transcript is scrutinized.
- Linux loonies have more power than estimated. They can actually sway a companies purchase decision. Right Sunw? Ev1?
- no honor among thieves. boies and msft will screw scox over faster, and harder, than the OSS folks, or the courts.
