You are right, I didn't know that ... just as I didn't know before the HALT, how it traded since Monday ... I would be rich beyond my dreams if I knew.
When the stock was removed from trading, it fell into the delisted category, not because of hanky panky.
Yong's SC has a lot of time to vet the books and weigh in before their recommendation.
I like your SA comment. Succinct and powerful.
Just like YONG is about to ... and throw in another heavy weight like Morgan Stanley.Place your bets:

HRBN began in June 2010 and closed on Nov 1, 2011:
from 31 Oct 2011S
The process had its beginnings in July of 2010 when Harbin's Chairman and largest shareholder, Tianfu Yang was introduced to Baring Private Equity to discuss a potential management buyout. Following these discussions, Yang and Baring decided to pursue the buyout and formulated a $24/share proposal which they provided to the board on October 10th.
After receiving the proposal, Harbin's board formed a special committee to consider the proposal and began to select advisors. On November 12th, Baring withdrew from the deal, bringing into question whether or not Yang would be able to proceed with the buyout with or without another partner. From November to January, Yang sought various financial and strategic partners for the buyout.
In the course of the process a number of proposals were received including a formal proposal to acquire Harbin for $24/share. As the buyout selection process continued through April, Abax emerged as Yang's preferred partner and it became clear that any buyer consortium would have to include Abax. Accordingly, several other potential bidders dropped out of the process. On April 19th, Harbin's special committee received a proposal from Yang and Abax to acquire the shares of company they did not already own for $24/share.
On June 9th, Yang and Abax received a loan commitment from CDB to finance the buyout. Shortly thereafter on June 19th, the Special committee voted in favor of the Yang/Abax proposal and executed the merger agreement. Following the execution of the merger agreement, over the course of the next few months Harbin continued to work towards the shareholder vote and ultimate closing.
Despite the progress and the advancement of the proxy filings with the SEC, Harbin shares continued to be challenged by doubts created by accounting irregularities and other accusations right up until the very last days. Few of these issu
I think it is a big player placing large orders on both sides to trap sellers at $5.00 ... soon, it'll be over and volatility will return to the upside. Just mho.
Up and away finally after one and half day of margin calls and weak hands.
HOGS were under short attack for years and they tried defending themselves in the media, threatened to sue the shorts, share buy backs and finally going private.
It was halted on 3/18 pre-market. For what it is worth ...

Ignore the shorts. KPMG signed off the 10K. Morgan Stanley filed SEC doc to show share ownership and declared that rumor of indicted MS member was untrue. Buyout partners did the same.
Closed at $5.05 on a single transaction though tens of thousands of shares traded at $5.10 immediate prior to that low ball sale by the market maker.

Why take so freaking long?
hear hear.
springs,
Yep, pork is a favorite for both parties. They all beach and moan about deficit but keep on adding to the pile and stuffing more money to FAA, Military while slashing education and healthcare.
Go figure.
851K shares -- lots of stop losses taken out . Insiders are cleaning up. There is no volatility for day traders.
Still stuck at 5.7K. There is a sell order 0f 100 shares at $3.99 but hardly worth anything after commission ($16 round trip).
