I think it is basically insane to posture as if you have any right to REQUIRE that anyone invest a single thin dime of their personal money here. That is particularly true of Dave, I think, whose money it likely is that the management are busy pissing away right now...
If there is ANY obligation associated with the company's need to improve their management of the company (our company) records... it is a COMPANY obligation. Last I checked, slavery was illegal in this country, so no one has the right to force anyone else to work for them for free. Directors don't work for free. Company officers don't work for free. The airlines don't let you fly free. Nothing is "free"... and, beyond "free"... no one has a legitimate right to force others to spend their money in any way other than they choose.
The company has no right to tell Dave how he should spend or invest his money... period.
Turrini doesn't have that right... so Turrini doesn't get to choose how Dave will spend or invest his money... period.
That there ARE people here who DO posture as if making that sort of a demand could be legitimate... is telling.
But, you know, it is Turrini's job to raise money to keep the company afloat... and it is his job performance we're evaluating when we see that he thinks the best way to do that is to threaten shareholders and investors, while claiming he has some fictional right to FORCE the investors to spend their money on what Turrini wants to spend money on...
I've said before... I'd not give Turrini one thin dime...
Dave has that same right.
If the company officers are unable or unwilling to pay the cost to properly manage their records... and are unable to convince others to provide resources... I don't see how that makes it Dave'e problem to pay the cost of their purposeful negligence FOR them.
So, why don't YOU pony up to pay those thousands of $ for whatever it is that the CLYW management are pretending they have a right to require of Dave ? Do that, and then Turrini will assume he also has the right to FORCE you pay for whatever else he wants to waste money on ?
And, who is it that is paying for the lawyers for this bogus "meeting" tomorrow... ???
Who is paying to fly Turrini around the country so he can preen and posture about whatever "big secret" it is they intend to spring, tomorrow, that Sosa is promising us that he KNOWS will "make us sorry". That is an odd bit, too... isn't it ? Leaves me still wondering why they think spending SHAREHOLDERS own money trying to "make the shareholders sorry" is a much better idea... than just doing what needs doing to fix what they broke, and then move the situation forward ?
Who is paying for the meeting facilities... what do they cost ?
And why is that CHOICE to spend money on this apparently pointless exercise they have planned... WAY more important to the officers than doing their job... including properly managing the records ?
And, I note, still... no one appears to want to address, much less answer, my question... "Why is that Dave HAS the records, and not Turrini" ?
I find that REMARKABLE... that no one wants to address or answer that simple question... while they posture they can FORCE Dave to invest his money in order to correct Turrini's mistakes...
I am so looking forward to having someone ask Ed Walsh about that issue with the records... since he's the only director that will be there who appears not to be a party to that dispute.
I think it likely that Turrini created the problem... and, given that IT IS HIS JOB to keep the records, and he clearly FAILED TO DO HIS JOB... Turrini should be forced to fix it... including that Turrini should be FORCED to pay to fix it... out of his PERSONAL funds... the way he is posturing Dave should.
Otherwise, you know, I just don't see a reason that shareholders and the company should be paying a CEO... for NOT doing his job... and sure as hell don't see why we should be paying a CEO who thinks its proper to go about doing his job raising funds... by threatening shareholders.
