I have tried to post this five times on V--M board and keep getting removed. So I thought I would try you on this board,I see you post on it.
With Rich making the Twitter or Facebook post the that the giant is getting ready to fall ( something to that effect) then it was removed right away and we don't hear from him for some time and now some type of apparent news black out along with the verifying of out standing stock it would appear something is up. Then the issue with numerous people complaining about a NDR, the below article could be the same type of reason it is going on. IMO
A few weeks ago, the Hip-Hop world was on cloud 9, proud to see one of it's own, Dr. Dre celebrating becoming the culture's first billionaire through his potential Apple/ Beats deal. However, some have been a bit worried since there's been no news of closing the deal since. Unfortunately, it seems that video may have cost Dre the legendary partnership.
According to Billboard.com, while Apple is no doubt a giant in the industry, this is still their biggest deal yet and the tech company is choosing to move cautiously. Another source revealed that while Apple was still in the process of figuring how much they'd make from the deal, Dre jumped the gun and dropped his figures to the public too early.
The company is also debating whether they will make Dre and business partner Jimmy Iovine full-time Apple executives or have them act as specialists to the company. There are also whispers that Apple is more interested in the newly developed Beats Music Streaming app than pushing headphones.
The point here is that there were/are still a lot of details to be hashed out, and Dr. Dre dropping his news before it was all set in stone has Apple worried about the partnership.
