Wrong - that is impossible. BIG has issued slightly over 3million shares to the finance company for which they received $600,000 (ie $0.20 per share). Since that was announced in 2015, BIG has had cash receipts of roughly $50 million.

Basically you're claiming that they got this $50 million cash by "the difference between the share price you pay and the share price of the market". If we take that difference as being $1.60 minus $0.20 issue price or $1.40 per share, it would require something like 35 million shares to be issued. As it is only 3 million shares, you are way off target, by a factor of 10.

You're also missing the key point - vendors need payment to provide a service. BIG announced a partnership with this finance company, so presumably each side of the partnership got something. So you have to add that putative payment to your theoretical (and impossible) 35 million shares.

And I've only included free cash here. BIG generated even more cash but had debts to pay too. Not to mention that the auditors had to be in on the scheme, as well as several senior managers in different companies. There's no way it stay a secret.

This ponzi scheme idea is ridiculous and simply doesn't hold up to even cursory examination.

well put, I think the 3 million shares over the span of how many years is really quite minor when you consider the total shares and options yet to be converted. it seems like a reasonable deal to strike to me, without a 3td party finance partner behind them I reckon big would maybe only gotten half the customers they did so far. same as Jb or Harvey Norman, how would thier share price and earnings look without all their 50 months interest free ads and deals. gets the buyers in the door!!!!
