"Li is probably in disbelief why so many LQMT shareholders are still invested after all the clues he has left lately."
That fits the reality better than anything else being postulated here. How many more clues do people need to get the drift in the complete absence of anything to the contrary? Shareholders whose CEO and Chairman and controlling shareholder are mute and shutting down operations at Lake Forest are clueless?
The Cantonese, and even the Hokkien, have a sense of humor that is not all that large. That is my experience.
