that big time investors such as McEwan, Lassonde and Intwentash would make more$$ with Russeau even if he were to give them a private placement with an extra 4 or 5 million shares each. When the company is 'given' away at a few measley dollars per share it would not be as much as the shares they have now X the amount NOT will be worth when it is fully developed by RN. I believe they will support the company as it now stands for this reason. This should also hold true for many of the others major investors of NOT. Regards, Shaquille
