    They still have wings, dude. They swim with their wings. Well you can call them flippers if you want, but since it's a bird, they're actually wings, and you would be committing a taxonomical abomination.

    Probably because Baystar wants their $20mil back, RBC is expected to follow this week wanting their $30mil back, both with 20% penalties against SCO, nobody else will loan SCO money after major investors wanting their money back and SCO doesn't have enough to pay them back, much less continue the lawsuits afterward. Oh, and they don't seem to have many actual revenue-generating customers anymore.

    Speculation considers that most of SCO's assets could be frozen pending settlement with Baystar/RBC assuming SCO fights the redemption claim.

    But I wouldn't be surprised to see SCO spin an up story for a week or two and have the stock jump again before everything crumbles in two weeks to a few months.
