This is hilarious, I love the irony!

With the addition of an experienced team of financially, legally and politically well-versed businessmen to Empire’s Board and Advisory Board, including Mr. Mark Cowan, Mr. James Leach and Mr. David Villarreal III, led by Mr. David Villarreal Jr. as the new Chairman-elect, Empire has never been closer to the long-waited realization of its $3.3 billion undiscovered prospective valuation and the discovery and commercialization of the in-ground $50 billion of oil and gas in the Tasmania basin.



Never closer, eh?

Villarreal Jr. was Chairman of Grand Monarch Holdings (PR of 1 Sept 2010) which was what led to him showing up in Empire, but as regards ownership of GMH it was apparently Ballantyne's plaything.

Not that it really matters, except with GMH now departed the scene the original reason for Villarreal Jr. having joined no longer applies.

It's amusing that these Directors can be heralded with such fanfare on their appointment but exit with hardly a murmur.
