That is why a JV announcement or an announcement that all output of the first processor is allocated to customers...so, JB can show he can buy new shoes in case another shoe is dropped:-)
I think John's own words don't exactly square with how the speculation is shaping up. John's own words:
"... Ron Baldwin Jr, our CFO was hired last year. He has his law degree, is an accountant and auditor, and a few credits shy of an engineering degree. Ron Baldwin Jr was the VP of a large hedge fund. ...
"... Ron Baldwin is perfect for maintaining 100% accurate books and reporting. Ron is not involved in financial models or financing and is not entrepreneurial. He is amazingly bright and the best at what he does. ...
Also, IMO John's own words relating to his "public market strategy" points to a desire to "prop up" the fundamental appeal of the company for potential traders/investors.
