I just don't get how anyone here believes Marc has any leverage in this "deal". Name a CEO who gave himself up for the shareholder? Name one! Marc works for Marc first, as any CEO does. If the CEO can make the shareholder money and keep their job, then icing on the cake. Every financial crisis begins with the guys in The Room working to protect their interest. The shareholder comes second at those times due to the crisis. Currently, Marc has no leverage and it is crisis time for him. He has one interest and one interest only, getting as close as he can to break even for himself. He wants out, he knows he has no leverage, he knows the company has no future, and the bankruptcy paperwork has already been drawn up. It's just a matter of filling in the blanks with the final figures. He can't negotiate some great price for 20% when SDRG is deep in debt and drowning.
Marc has been working on two things because he's clearly smart and capable. Those two things are:
1. Finding a way to get back his money and make himself whole.
2. Protect his future job opportunities by doing what he can to show that given the circumstances of SDRG he did a bang up job, but just couldn't overcome the setbacks. That's good for the resume for the next job and he knows it.
Marc got SDRG off the greys, removed the chill, dealt with the lawsuit issues, and got the company moving again so that he could bring above number 1 and 2 to pass. Sorry, but it's just human nature.
The rest of the information swirling around in this room is conspiratorial pattern formation. Bits and pieces of secondary and tertiary information are being formulated into an improbable reality, while avoiding the key and simple core information that would lead to a more probable if not only conclusion. I've stated some of that core information above. It's not profound information, it's not revolutionary, it's just simply true, but that information is completely ignored in order to create a false dichotomy.
When money and hope are on the line this is what happens. It is often good to listen to someone who doesn't have a vested interest financially in a product. That person has an advantage of seeing things more clearly by not succumbing to the "long shot" hope such as is present in SDRG.
