They should certainly try it on with Scotty. The guy's an idiot. He'd nearly destroyed MILL twice in the past, and it seems the third time will be the charm. He never really knew anything about oil and gas; he simply believed what the people in Alaska told him.
He then spent the rest of his time doing financing and flying around in the clunker turbojet he bought from Paul Kessler for MILL stock. He almost never went to Alaska, though he used the plane to ferry his girlfriend around, and to take vacation trips.
He's naturally lost a lot of money--MILLQ closed up 77% today, at 7 cents--but that really isn't enough.
