The market doesn't see it that way. The company is valued at less than $20M and has received $70M in loans. How does that make sense even if ECIG is trading on the OTC. Why wouldn't he make a statement or management make that statement on his behalf? It would only help the PPS and therefore all stockholders including strong. He is in business to make money so why wouldn't he help a company he has loaned over 70M to?
