Wouldn’t it be criminal to withhold this kind of information from their investors and future investors? Is Barry asking them to “lie by omission”?

Not asking but forcing them to lie.

Absolutely and unequivocably. SEC regs compel listed companies (eg; those who have issued publicly-traded stock) to make public any information *as soon as they become aware of it* which may affect or influence their financial results.
