With all due respect Learning_curve, I'm with Crossroad on this one. What we know about wealthy people is they're capable of making shrewd deals. MP's market cap is currently around $12 million--about 25% (not sure exact amount) owned by insiders and the rest, I'm guessing retail investors like us and no institutional investors that I'm aware of.

So how are Mr. Frost and his crew going to make any appreciable return with the current stock structure? They either pursue the roughly 25% insider shares or the other 75% that we own in the manner Crossroad described. They obviously see enormous potential in MP like many of us do (once the company is profitable).

IMO, it is very unlikely that they're facilitating the bridge loan and hoping MP will fail to meet its obligations and make a return on the usurious interest rate. That's pocket change to them.

They may be thinking:

--last quarter revenue $18.5 million (conservatively assuming no growth) x 4 = $74 million revenue. Value of the brand?

--bring down COGS, SG&A.

--bring is seasoned business managers. Get rid of the 3 Amigos or reduce their roles in the company.

--streamline distribution through larger company.

--make company profitable. At the current market condition, with big names behind it, the market value of MP should be around $100+ million.

The only way I can think of for them to gain control of MP is in the manner in which Crossroad described. I'm often wrong about many things but my feeling is that the 3 Amigos are not sophisticated enough to deal with the ilk of this Mr. Frost and his crew.

MP Management. We're insanely insane. We're about to give our company away to the sharks!
