The CEO appears to be a shady character involved in nefarious securities transactions, he works out of a really shabby office. Its one thing to grant options months in advance of launching a new business plan, but the day before a major announcement? Who bought all that stock before the news? Someone would have to be really really stupid to think they can get away with such brazen front running.
Management should have done a better job highlighting the company's production capacity and assets, building up credibility instead of a stock pump.
This whole sloppy deal deal smells and lacks professionalism. Just my opinion.
