Sad but that is exactly why I didn't dig deeper & buy more shares/options at 2c/0.7c, it looked so much like a stitch up for Anglo to take over I backed off a bit. I, like most LT holders, knew the gold was there but something more sinister appeared to me to be going on with all the endless nonesense of running 'development' ore till all the $ were gone. Where they clowns ? I have my doubts.
Just my take but like you I see Anglo's support more as a Trojan horse to get 'inside' than anything else.
