It doesn't take 'inside information' to know the company has not raised financing in the Middle East:
- If they had raised financing, they would have filed an 8-K as a material event.
- They have not filed such an 8-K.
- Therefore, they have not raised financing.
On the other hand, a cynic would say that EEGC has a habit of not filing 8-Ks when they should (upon the announced 'completed' acquisition of Grand Monarch Holdings; or arguably in committing $20+M, several times the company's market cap, to a related party -- Mr. Bendall -- for unnamed technology), so maybe they have raised Middle East financing.
In which case, I would note that the most recent PR, silent about the Middle East but announcing the hiring of a North America firm to help them find financing, is a pretty good indicator that Middle East finance has not as yet been acquired.
