Mick, I suspect MW are now considering their actions very carefully. This "could" cost them a fortune, I think they have called this wrong and as you point out (and I have on ADVFN) I think their timings are questionable, they admit to targeting woodford, and in their desire to make a profit, I think they have gone too far.
Releasing another document to support the previous one is very dangerous. They could be on the wrong end of a hugely costly legal case here.... I think they will be thinking very carefully about their next move. I doubt they will escalate this... The optics are terrible...
We shall see what happens but I suspect they will look to crawl back under a rock. They may not be able to though and this could do serious damage to them. They may be the ones looking at insolvency... Just wait till US shareholders potentially throw a class action lawsuit at them...
It could get very messy for them now..
