A deal !!! Someone just blogged this. "They had to get rid of some Management for impending deal" or something like that. I think his management wasn't helping acquire the financing and he thought saving some money over next year and a half, and figure things out with less inner office stress and at his leisurely pace. Ken will never let this go for 30 cents, too much to loose. UNLESS; He his part of the new deal and has built in his position to be good for him even at 20 cents. I'd be piss'd too for investors whom bought in at 40 cents, 65 cents, 1.20, 2.00, etc... OH Yes, not to mention, what about this management/board directors that bought in between 60 cents and 2.00 or their options at over 2.00? Everone seems mad. I don't see you trying to start up the first diamond mine here LATELY either. This will go with or without a deal. Perhaps a 30 to 1 stock split. Issue 250 million shares at 7.50 with 1/3 warrents for 12.00 expiring june 09, 2019. Ken are we close yet...DONT GIVE UP... oh yes, we have enough investors here that will buy back in, so please don't sell out to the Chinese or anyone else...
