Well texas, to my knowledge there isn't any news YET, BUT it would not surprise me if rumors might be spreading amongst the AB Distributors relative to a potential replacement for Bang. I am just guessing here but I am sure the management at those distributors have some deep pockets and their own investment accounts.
Perhaps it is a wild theory on my part but it would make sense.
And let me clarify that this is just conjecture from me and each should do their own dd before investing.
