Not neccesarily insider trading. However, the resignees knew the "intricate" details of the business as it stood. Perhaps, these "short term" focus guys made the decision to "cut and run". And now others now have to "pick up the pieces". I am sticking with AYN because I believe in silver. My stake in this stock will hopefully "bear fruit" at some point in time as "The Texas project" is worth sticking around for. In any adversity, there is opportunity!!
