Very sorry to hear that. Email him and ask him. Bring up anvil's theory:
"If Perry really believed we are on the gold, milk the V/C for whatever capital and file BK, cram done the note holders, and emerge private and reverse merge into new shell. Start fresh, new shareholders, producing mine. BK courts much prefer a management led reorganization plan than a creditor plan."
At least it will force him to say yes or no.
