Maybe shady. Appears odd to me. The only problem I have is rni/aur have churned through many people who have loved the ground yet come up empty for shareholders, whilst each have personally done well by drawing good salaries and even renting out premises.
You know companies like AUR are prime examples of people making plenty and pushing the story only to find many imho dragging out time using it as their own gravy train.
As for fotios perhaps it's his view for now but if the same poor results occur he may be left with no option but to merge as people can't keep throwing money at it. My concern is that may be his objective and get aur for nicks and then the discoveries will be made in his own time. Just some thoughts, all imho.
