Wait, they were down to JUST $28M IN CASH in February right before taking yesterday's financing? If my math is right, looking at their 2012 financials on PrivCo:

Their operating expenses are about $1.4 Billion/year (Revenue + Operating loss = about $1.4 Billion they spend a year). That's $120 Million a month. $4 million a day. THEY WERE DOWN TO JUST 7 DAYS OF CASH! How is that NOT the very definition of a "distressed financing" situation? Correct the record Primack and admit when you're wrong - there's no shame in that - that you were a bit hasty at first, but yes they were down to a dangerously low level of cash and regardless of the financing terms or structured as technically debt or technically equity, that yes this was a distressed financing situation.
