Haywood, Zipfel, Simpson, Saladino and Millar

1. Haywood Sell activities

To get a better understanding of Haywood dunps it is important to select a right time frame

Haywood has sold (shares):

a. since July 2018:        36,336,856 shares
b. since Feb 2018:        34,557,911
c. since 1 July 2019:     33,150,619 
d. since 1 Sep 2019:     31,966,093
e: Since 1 Oct 2019:     30,966,093
f. since 16 Dec 2019:    30,866,093
g. since April 20, 2020: 26,963,000  

Haywood also has order for almost 2 Million more shares to sell and he may even add more. 

No doubt the last 3 months orders by Haywood were all from the same seller. But what about the older ones?

2. Insiders holdings

By July 2019"

William Simpson: 40,401,268
Gary Gene Zipfel: 29,553,627
Peter Saladino: 22,939,151

I like also to include:

Phillip Millar: 3,137,081

A: Peter Saladino

He was my first guess but it turned out not to be true. Haywood has dumped much more. than his holdings.

B: Gary Gene Zipfel

He resigned from GLH borad on Sep 2, 2019. But like Saladino Haywood has sold more shares than his holdings. Unless assuming the massive sell since April 20 is from him. In this scenario so far he sold 27M shares and has 2M shares more listed. After that he will have only 0.5 M shares left to fully deplete his hand.

C: William Simpson

He had the most shares and could be behind all the dumps.  He has been on a sabbatical leave of indefinite duration since February 4 2019.

Assuming:

a) his trade activities will not be reported on SEDI if on Sabbatical (I am not sure about it)
b) all Haywood sells since then are by him

He has sold 34.5M shares. Is selling 2M more shares and after theses he will have 4M more shares to sell by his iceberg orders that will come up.

d) Phillip Millar

His case is very confusing to me. But why Millar? He barely had only 3M shares left in his holdings. Simply not true. 

Millar has 3 lines of openning balance on SEDI from OCT 2017. That time he had 39,666,650 shares

But there are also OTC reports to review:

User image

July 31 2018 Millar owned 33,928,572 shares. This shows a reduction of 5,738,078 shares.

But there is another huge reduction: OTC report in May 2019 reveals he had only 5,323,810 shares by 30 April 2019.

a) either sold 28,604,762 shares in this period.
b) or transferred them to a relative before being a member to be listed on SEDI. This way he could sell whenever he wanted without being exposed and also lend them to the short sellers meanwhile.

Later according to SEDI Millar sold 7.734M shares between  May 6 and July 17 (through canaccord and Anonymously). Interestingly in the OTC report he did not have that many shares. Is he obtained them as part of his sallary and sold them immediately between the two OTC reports in May and July? needs further investigations.

Any way, if scenario (a) to be true Millar is not behind Haywood. But if scenario (b) being correct then at least he had 31741843 (28,604,762 + 3,137,081) shares to sell since last August. 

Interestingly GLH terminated the employment of Phillip Millar, effective September 30, 2019 without any explanation. As I remember, GLH has also compensated him with some millions of more shares but did not find it by googling.

3. My own guess

a) Millar has all the records to be the top candidate. His shares is very confusing and it seems to me since begining he was involved in a game and literally being fired by GlH wights more on this guess. Because of complexity of his case it is hard to for me to find how many more shares he has to dump but it should be close to its end by him but maybe not others such as the new dump by CIBC.

b) the next question will be: is there any possible link between Philip Millar and Chris Parry?

Why the management does not comment on the reasons behind Philip Millar's termination of employment? Trying to prevent a legal action that will damage the company as well?

when you add up all the insider shares does it even total 20% of the total float? Maybe insiders are to blame for some of the selling but I'd say it has something to do with the other 650 million shares unaccounted and not held by insiders.

cannacord manipulation.
Comment by Orwellian1984 on Jun 17, 2020 3:55pm
Yes I do beleive Canaccord was manipulating this stock all the way down. It is such bold that only IIROC can pretend not seeing it. TD and RBC are involved too, either directly or by canaccord accounts under their houses. But regarding insiders: 1. This is also a valid question to ask what happened to ~40M shares of Millar. 2. While Canaccord acquired bulk of his shares in August 2019, how ...more

Also to get a better picture on the owners of the remaining 80% of the shares: July 2019 there were ~ 550 M shares and 36,598 share holders. Just an approximation: ~100 M shares or infact more was held by insiders. Remaines less than 450 M shares. In another word on average each shareholder had ~12,000 shares or only $840 (July share price: 7 cents). This is probabely close to the minimum lot ...more

so what can we do? Noone seems to care, noone cares about shareholders, investor relations doesnt answer emails what can be done?
Comment by Orwellian1984 on Jun 17, 2020 10:26pm
We care and we will try. This petition is a seed. Let see positive operational changes while acknowledging the seriouse problems. We encourage the management while enforcing transparency and strict regulations.
