There is no need for a new CEO. Once the December 4th settlement hearing on the civil lawsuit that just gives $800,000 to the lawyers and the January 9th Dickson V. Lee sentencing hearing, L&L will announce it has been sold to Union Coal of China for the unheard of sum of $4 million ($0.10 per share). Dickson Lee will be sentenced to time served, a $500,000 fine and allowed to leave the United States. He will become the CEO of Union Coal and will reap the profit benefits of our money and technology. Pretty good speculation
