Well, his employment agreement in the admission document for Merkur is a lie... Although I think most of the failures are well-meaning estimates, but some deliberate carrots as well (at least I haven't seen the effect of the F-1 they told us about in CC Q2).
However, it doesn't really matter whether it is deserved or not; status as of today is that he doesn't have credibility - even the most lojal (or is it "especially not the most lojal"?) shareholders are sceptic to whether there will be a dividend in Q4... And it is Solomon who has to fix the credibility-issue.
It will be paid, the question is whether there will be delays and how they will finance it (i.e more dilution?). They said something about FINRA-approval - is that a possible issue or is it just a possible excuse?
