So they're broke and need another 350k at 15% interest to stay afloat. They also released half a million shares warranted at 0.80 cents to the lender. How is this positive news ?

If lender is ready to pay 80 cents per share, don’t u think its good one ? Lender knows something very well.

"If lender is ready to pay 80 cents per share, don’t u think its good one ?" The lender is not paying anything. Those warrants are freebies thrown on top of an effective 45% (air) loan.

Throwing flat fees on top of an interest bearing loan is a way to mask the fact that it is actually loan sharking. "The Company agrees to pay a $17,500 facility origination fee" $17,500 / $350,000 = 5% in 2 ...more
