I think perhaps you are getting mixed up with what a company needs to announce.
Did they announce that WS had offered to dry hire the rig? If they did I missed it. Thye don't have to announce such things unless a contract is secured the same as they don't announce when they are in contract negotiations with other parties. It isn't material unless a contract takes place. No contract took place so no announcement necessary. Not signing a contract with anyone doesn't materially effect the share price as no one knows who the company is in negotiations with.
So again this brings up the point as to why was it even mentioned in the announcement except with the express purpose of attempting to discredit the Strange family.

When we then see that board members and/or CEO's are posting lets just say 'untruths' under a cloak of anonymity on HC then surely we must wonder who indeed has the most credibility?

I am sure that a lot of shareholders just want it sorted out. I certainly do...however I don't want it to just go away. There have been IP breaches for over 6 months and letters and warnings given. I guess when it looked like the rig was getting blamed for management and board failure WS thought enough is enough and he inspite of still being a substantial shAreholder himself needed to take action to protect the value of his IP.
