I think its a matter of putting the money up in a placement and getting options then dumping the placement at a premium (better than bank interst - Caman Island pay no tax) whilst holding the options for another day (or year). Great occupation if you have the millions to stump up. Its a licence to print your own money. Co's like NIA have no option - they get their money then get raped. The placement shares should be escrowed for 12 months.
