Newton is playing a dangerous game.He knows that the website has false claims on it and and the press releases are fantasies and that over the phone Mulshine will tell stories even Mulshine wont go on the record with. So Newton knows there is fraud going on but he can't do anything because someone else is really in charge.
Just a reminder the financing deal that Newton calls dead it was a lie from day on. Mulshine knows good and well you can't borrow a million dollars from a bank using for collateral wells bought for $60k (and overpaid at that) and the worthless VAGO.
The West Texas deal was also hopeless. Why is West Texas going to sell them a working lease for nothing?
