Mirage, I am still here.I think JungAheer is mistaken. He is just angry he (oops, I mean David is angry) he got caught in the academic cheating scandal. Scared too, I imagine, as the Boston office of the F.B.I and U.S. Attorney/ U.S. Justice Department are not susceptible to being bribed. David will have to resign from all of his board appointments and the felony plea/conviction will prevent him from any and all board memberships in the future. Regarding David's statement about the empty office and telephone in B.C. that is true. David and others have been paid hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of dollars over the years in exchange for no doing no work on their parts. At least Nick and Chase Management, kept up with the mandatory public filings. It appears that David's only contribution of late, was to engineer a failed attempt of fleecing the EW shareholders out of most of their investment in EW via the Juva deal. Thankfully the B.C.S.C. was able to stop this sham of a transaction! The Romanian government closely monitors ALL drilling in Romania and Gazprom has to play it straight and honest. The Romanian authorities want their fair share of the taxes and royalties that are due and Gazprom will be monitored closely as to the NIS/EW asset production. EW has a thirty five year lease on the four blocks that have roughly 25 more years to go until expiration of the lease. NIS is litterally months away from commercial production and when they hit a production level of 7 million barrells per year, EW's 15% portion (1 million barrels per year) will make EW shares worth $100 million to $150 milliion. For now, EW is on autopilot, as it has been for many years, awaiting succesful drilling in Romania. JMan has been keeping us apprised of all of the exploration successes that have been taking place and soon we will be hearing about the production successes. David has brought shame to himself and his family, this company and the Guayanese people. Maybe he will have time to reflect on this while in prison and will devote the rest of his life to one of service, as opposed to the devious manner of conning, scamming and screwing people.
