yes you are probably right, I am sure he cannot tell me any details (if he does get info). I just found it interesting with his recent travels, and now the vancouver destination. Even if no longer consulting for MDCN, this was only a very recent change. Like i said, it could mean absolutely nothing, but it does stir some thought.
As far as John still speaking to me, I have always kept a friendly relation for quite some time now. Unlike several others on this board, who I am sure screamed at him tirelessly for updates/hate mails etc. The man only knows what he is given, and is not responsible for the companies actions.
My guess is most if not all of his pay was through shares, and now he could be sitting on a stack of shares worth well, diddly squat, like the rest of us. He is looking for answers.
