Ha just found more fuel to add to the fire..

Turns out Michael Fischer was studied his PhD in geoscience at Cardiff University between 1981 ? 1984.

Mike Lakin happened to be studying his geology degree around the same time. I havent found out exactly when he studied there but he's had 24 years of industry experience since leaving Cardiff and he worked for a few small oil companies from 1984-1989, presumably that was straight out of uni.

Provided it still took 3 years to do a BSc in 1981, Lakin was probably studying from 1981-1983. Smack bang same period so I bet there's a dam good chance they knew eachother.

Question is did the know each other well or is all this just a coincidence?

Here's another idea, slightly different from before.. all these directors must be decently well off, not raking in the millions but still making a large amount of money.
So instead of Ophir buying into the CR.. Lakin, Fischer and the rest of the directors of Ophir could be taking part in the CR as SI's or through various equity groups.

That way they get to buy in 5.8c and spend Mittal's money (i.e. Ophirs money) making themselves exuberantly rich and still bringing significant wealth to Ophir.
