I am surprised no one is talking about the Hunter Hall investment company. Whilst the sp has been floundering this UK company has been buying big into Bta at bargain-basement prices. This company now owns more than 10% of the stoc - and obviously the voting rights that go with that stock.

Folks, Hunter Hall now have CONTROLLING stake in Bta... They will, presumably, determine who sits in 1 or maybe both of the soon to be vacant board seats. The key question is what is their intention? Is it a long-term investment or a short-term fire sale?

What must certainly be beyond doubt - they could not have bought up this many shares at these prices without the approval of Bta Mgt and Board. Frankly, that makes me very worried...

Is Hunter Hall a Trojan horse? Who are they in bed with? Could that explain why Cook and Co have exercised such impressive humility in awarding themselves hundreds of thousands of share options after shafting most of the shareholders...The decisions of Mgt/Board re litigation and share buy-back only make sense in the light of Hunter Hall's quiet accumulation. Small shareholders, as co-owners of this company, need to challenge Mgt directly for answers.
