I do not think it is coincidence that the missed interview occurred on a Monday, and the first trading day after the dividend record date. This would be the best day to tank a price on fear. And if I wanted a furor over a missed interview, MN1 would be the best candidate. It is by far, the one most likely to create hostility toward the company, and drop the price on a missed appointment - just what happened.
The main reason I can think of, to miss the interview, and not call to cancel, is to tank the price. And the only reason to do that is to aid the buyback, or if a deal was cut to allow a major shorting group to cover and agree to go away. Buying back a vast majority of the float, at a low price, is difficult. You need to create panic.
The only other explanation is Alex, or someone he appointed to do the interview, forgot about the interview. If this is the case, we will see a PR in the morning. If no PR, I think it was done on purpose. If they just changed their mind, they would have cancelled, in advance, with MN1.

My gut feel says we'll not see ANYTHING tomorrow. Same silence.
Today's "no-show" was a part of the game to drop the price.
I'm sure Siam started buying shaking weak hands.
I still believe the good Dr. However, we all should understand he is not independent any more. If Siam and their 55% are real they play the game.
Another scenario is we are getting fu…d. But, this is too simple, IMO
