Okay. I see where you are coming up with the notion that SURG paid Cox $14M.
What you appear to be referencing is the fact that Cox exchanged $14M worth of preferred shares for $14M worth of common shares. When I add and subtract $14M from each other, I get $0. No? Cox was on net issued $0 in shares as a result of this transaction.
Not sure I really get the rest of what you wrote. You are mentioning, I think, a case involving the CEO from 2014 or so? A case that didn't affect SURG? Did he get convicted? I'm not writing this guy's reference letter for Eagle Scout. I am just buying shares of SURG low and hoping to sell them high -- though right now it isn't working out so well yet.
