RE: AGMJudging by what Heck said, it doesn't appear that there are plans by any insiders to take the company private. He said he didn't know of any plans to do so and I would think he would have been informed if that was an option.
What I do believe is that some of the deep-pocketed BOD could put together some more cash to invest in the company. That was shares are issued at half-decent prices without going to market and having your head handed to you on a platter. ID did say he would do everything in his power to help iFire along. This could be in combination of selling a portion of Nucryst. They probably only need about $30 million to help fund, along with existing cash, 2 more years of testing (the seemingly worst-case scenario).
IMHO
