It or they warned in an announcement on the Internet Friday that "a deadline is fast approaching for shareholders who want to sue" Avista and five other companies.

Instead of contracting for replacement power, it bet that the price of power would drop and it could cover its shortage for less money in the spot market.You don't go to jail for trying to fill a straight.
