Steve...Don't know what you mean by "free shares" because all of the shares ABEW's management receives is based on their individual employment packages - which is negotiated prior to their acceptance.
And BTW, I don't think ANY of the officers of ABEW has received a monthly salary for the past several years. I could be wrong so you should pose the question on ABEW's message board. I simply don't see how the company can afford to pay anyone since they have generated very little revenue this year.
Be back home tomorrow...hopefully with a jackpot!!!
