In my opinion, the new financiers are buying up most of the existing float as a kind of preemptive buyback. Cheap! This leaves a small amount of stocks on the table for retail to drive the pps up. YA will be paid off, iND will start, patents will come, new board, media campaign, and rapid escalation of PPS with licensing agreements.
Imo.
Finally, I presume Hubiak left because it was simpler for Roshe to deal with the board if the man they let go was gone. At this point, Vic may only be a figure head.
