I think the only person who is able to inform us is Mr.Lowenthal.
to repeat once more:
1.) Mr.L. was a major shareholder of FFGO with 23.5% of the o/s of FFGO (FORM 8-K, 06/28/2010). i.e. 23,5% of the liquid.div. belong to him.
2.) Mr.L. has acquired as a major shareholder the total remaining long-term debt of FFGO (FORM 8-K, 07/28/2010). no more "external"debt
3.) Mr.L. has signed as CEO and President of NMGL the receipt about the pref.A+B shares of NMGL (FORM D, 09/12/2010).
these shares are the purchase price for the stocks of gold of FFGO (Bouse, S.Copperstone), because NMGL has not paid with cash.
these shares belong to the shareholders of FFGO, 23.5% of these pref.shares belong to Mr.L. because of 1.)
the FORM-D document is the last "sign of life " of our dividend shares.
I will send the same text to Mr. Lowenthal together with the request to pay our dividends.
