APDN is selling shares. That money earned is then paying his salary. They haven't earned any revenue sufficient enough to pay 3 million per year.
This board is getting caught up in a logical fallacy. There are many legal ways to sell shares and make money of them. The least honest of them is to have the company sell and then hike your own salary.
From the last filing... if you subtract 23.5 million from 24.0 million you get 500 shares were sold this past quarter.
