Yes, could be pre-planned. Would add insult to injury to the peeps that bought in here. They paid about $15 million for a shell and another $10 million for a less than 20% stake in a breakeven/losing small retail business.
We can't. I have never really seen how SWVC could get one of the GS companies (would we want one even?) with the financials the way they are now (with the info available anyway). However, by the same token, I refuse to believe that there were any surprises in the GS Carbon R/M. Which of course is the ongoing enigma with this company. Ok one of the ongoing enigma's.
