According to Endovasc's attorney, James W. "Wes" Christian, "The theory of our case has been adopted by other companies that have experienced similar losses from 'death spiral' conduct by lender/investors. This spread of other cases and criminal investigations by the attorneys general or U.S. Attorneys of several states has been fueled by the civil enforcement actions and criminal complaint against Thomas Badian, his brother Andreas, and various SEC actions. Mr. Thomas Badien is currently believed to be a fugitive. The conduct of those defendants is the same type of conduct we believe our defendants have engaged in."

Attorney's John O'Quinn and James W. "Wes" Christian represent several other bulletin board companies in their claims for damages against alleged stock manipulators. The cases claim alleged SEC 10b-5 violations, stock manipulation and fraudulent misrepresentation misrepresentation

 by alleged "investors" whose true intent allegedly was to drive down the company's stock prices through short-selling in order to receive much greater amounts of the company's shares when converting from preferred stock, debenture, or other convertible provision in financing deals with targeted bulletin board companies.
