The sheer brass neck of these people goes way past the ingrained, inner cynic and gets me close to applause. It's certainly funny. What's going on at Seafield Resources (SFF.v) isn't some opportunistic move to take advantage of a sudden shift in market appeal; it's a well-planned, well executed orchestra of several moving parts involving, thought, strategy, main players and side-acts. It's all legal too, but it's also one helluva scam. Here's today's NR below and your humble scribe has taken the time to mark in blue those members of the deal who will not be holding any sort of bag when the music stops. Meanwhile those marked in red should remember an age-old phrase; caveat emptor. By way of disclosure, no position in SFF.v and wild horses couldn't change that.
