1. Deadweight's sole ambition is to be CEO of De Beers - MPVD just steppng stone to De Beers top job
2. Mr Cleaver, current CEO, in line to be CEO of Anglo American
3. Mr Cleaver and Deadweight close - worked together in past
4. Deadweight making frequent visits to London to raise his profile - incluing meetings with diamond analysts and TV appearances - which MPVD paid for
5. Deadweight has no interest in promoting MPVD to raise value of company
6. If he becomes CEO of De Beers, Deadweight wants to buy MPVD - cheaply
7. Irish oblivious of Deadweight's plans
8. Analyst thinks Deadweight is dilusional and doesn't have snowball's hope in hell of becoming De Beers CEO
Well, well! No we know why Deadweight is so disinterested in promoting MPVD to get fair market value.
