Flatly denies or refutes the Altria story.
Seems funny about that reporter googling and finding stuff , which he repeats twice.
And then James just lets the subject drop.
He does not dig deeper, he just moves on!
I wonder why? Seems he is not a very good investigative journalist himself.
He (Vic) got off too easy in that interview in my view.
The press release does not outright deny or refute the fact that they met as well.
Too me this is the exact same as ACB & Coke. and we have heard nothing more of that from ACB and that is 1 month ago.
One thing I think we can be fairly certain of from the CEO's language is that they are not in the final stages of any talks to sign an agreement with Altria as the Globe & Mail suggested. They might have been some exploratory discussions between the parties but I doubt they are ready to put pen to paper without a lot more DD being done by both sides. In the meantime life goes on and Aphria must still do what it does best. Whether that is good enough is for the market to decide.
