Here's where shareholders stand with their 3499% dividend.
Once FFGO was revoked, the success of the Extraordinary Dividend declaration & distribution was inextricably linked to NMGL's commitment to acquire 100% of the shares of Bouse Gold Inc. & South Copperstone Inc., both directly from FFGO & Searchlight and also from FFGO stockholders who held them for various reasons.
NMGL can certainly continue in that role and complete the 12 remaining detailed agreement fulfillment conditions in FFGO's Dividend Declaration process (found here).
While it's true that NMGL cannot cancel the dividend itself, they currently do have a right to cancel their part in FFGO's dividend declaration process. That would mean that they would no longer have to be concerned with (or "harassed" about) completing their purchase of the remaining Bouse & South Copperstone shares. Should NMGL decide exercise that option, then FFGO would be in no position to create a new dividend process since they are no longer legally able to conduct such business.
Why?
Because they have been administratively dissolved by the state of Wyoming and lost their WY Business License.
End result?
The dividend process, as FFGO designed it, would be over by default.
Technically no longer able to be completed.
Or more bluntly...
Dead.
The last remaining hope for shareholders would appear to be a mutual agreement scenario in which FFGO returns the unregistered Preferreds to NMGL and have NMGL return their purchased BG & SC shares to FFGO. Assuming WY would allow this transaction to happen (neither FFGO nor NMGL currently have active Business Licenses) this would allow FFGO to liquidate them as "assets" which would be permitted under the WY Business Corporation Act Dissolution clause. But considering FFGO ceased operations and is nowhere to be found, there may be a Plan B...
Now, this is truly a Hail Mary hope of a plan, but NMGL could decide to exercise their option as described in this 8-K and dispose of their BG & SC shares themselves, using the proceeds to pay the holders of their Preferreds which, at present, would only be FFGO and not any of the other stockholders. That's assuming once again that NV SOS & WY SOS would even allow NMGL &FFGO to transact such business without those pesky business licenses.
In either case, it would still mean that the other holders of those BG & SC shares, including the 2005 Dividend holders, would be stuck trying to find their own buyer.
But shareholders shouldn't hold their breath for any of that to ever happen due to a rarely asked but extremely relevant question.
Question: What is the current market demand for shares in 2 administratively dissolved WY corporations which may or may not still be holding mining claims with no publicly documented valuation?
Is it any surprise that FFGO shareholders are turning to NMGL for answers as to whether or not they are still involved in the dividend process, a process in which NMGL played a major critical role as was clearly mentioned so many times by FFGO themselves (see below for exactly how many times NMGL appeared in FFGO's FAQ page).
Perhaps it would have been more responsible if FFGO had simply exercised their option of contacting their shareholders via email to give them an update status instead of shareholders having to resort to "harassing" Mr. Lowenthal, wouldn't you think?
Maybe it's time to put the blame where it really belongs...on the company that terminated all lines of communication with their investors and vanished with all their money, instead of the abandoned shareholders who must now try to find answers about their promised dividend all by themselves, using any and all means at their disposal.
Peter Bezzano & Fortress Financial Group just never left them with any other viable option.
Did they?

While NMGL is not specifically mentioned by name in this next quote, they have already been established & recognized as the "purchaser".
