I can see the probable truth to that TJ, not only raising the AS(hugely) for acquirement purpose but also to assure no take overs....plenty of shares to work with sort of speak.
Acquiring them is one of the main reasons that Affluence themselves raised the AS to 25.1 billion shares. The other is for protection from a hostile takeover. And the was AFFU will be growing and as cheap as the shares are a Hostil takeover could be tempting to someone. But it will never happen when the AS is that high. No one company or person could acquire almost 13 billion shares even at 0002/0003 so they and we are safe from that happening. Great info pink thanks for posting it.
