The expired options were just one obvious example that messaged a negative trend to holders.
But buying on market, at this 'bargain' price would be a no-brainer if they had the slightest confidence in the outcomes here.
They might have been able to get us above 2c with a few 10's of thousands of $$. A tiny fraction of one year's salary, during which time nothing has been done.
Their failure to do that makes every word they speak and every slide they present ring hollow. Plus the history of recent years, of course.
Nothing they do or say indicates conviction. I get the 'used car salesman vibe' from them.
