      I guess they won't be able to get money from absolutely anyone. I'd like to know what happens to the stock someone already bought when they're delisted... money-go-poof?

          I wouldrecommend anyone using this companies product to migrate to a different company as soon as possible.

        They could do a reverse stock split to get the price back above $1. But that is only a temporary remedy, whatever the underlying pressure that has been driving the stock down is likely to continue, and probably accelerate.
