Eik has been around a long time and in my opinion he is a stand up honest guy. He may have talked to some secretary who was very vague and remember it was in Russian. Remember Eik didnt say the deal was off if I remember correctly the translation was that Katrix had completed there part. Who knows if the person he talked to knew what was happening.
And I think some people put all of their eggs in one basket too. I have money in normal stocks (LOOP, Netflix) as well as several pink sheets like SPZI and of course AURC. I mean if one of my pink sheets take off it will be well worth losing on 3 or 4 others.
