Quote from winter:
It appears that some customers that participated in the directed-share program are balking at actually going through with paying for their allocated shares (that have dropped more than 30% since the IPO). And now because of errors VG committed they actually may get away with it. Also the lawsuits have started already ("materially false and misleading joint Registration Statement and Proxy-Prospectus")
This was already planned by these piker investors in the first place. See this previous post before the IPO
Quote from cohenmichaela:
The fine print for the Vonage customer IPO offering states that you must fund the limited brokerage account within three days AFTER Vonage trades publicly. It also says that in order to receive profits from the sale of these offered shares you must fund the account.
Would it then be possible to make a conditional offer for IPO shares and then sit on it for a day after the shares trade public? If it's in the money then sell the shares and fund the account. Otherwise walk away.
Is this realistic or am I being overly opportunistic here. It seems like a risk free bet. Will men with guns knock on my door if I don't pay up and walk away from the transaction?
