Yes, what I mean by this is a man, who has been on the Board of directors for only just over two years, does not work with the man who built the business over decades, but rather goes behind his back and attempts to take over the business. Clearly, he has been talking about this behind Mr. Smith's back, and it may have been brought up at their original Board meeting where Granger was replaced as Chairman. I say this in part because lining up an alternate Board and Information circular within six days of that press release is highly unlikely - clearly, it had been talked about previously in some context. And not completely privately either, as some of the posts on this board have indicated, which, I might add, occurred while Granger was still on the Board. So effectively, he went behind the current Board's back, which consitutes a 'snake' in my opinion. Also, he is the type of person to take credit for a deal in public, in paper (proxy), which shows the ego you're dealing with and not a team player.
In addition, I don't think Mr. Granger is a particularly stellar individual to be leading such a Board/proxy. He was a director of Royal Standard Minerals Inc. (“RSM”) in 2009 when a cease trade order was issued for failure to meet TSX Venture Exchange filing requirements, which is still in effect. So you don't file the paper, and shareholders can't trade (over 2 years in this case so far), and information flow disappears. As access to company information becomes very limited, assets get sold, etc etc you don't know what's going on and eventually the company disappears - don't believe it if you don't think that couldn't happen here...
(The latter is one of the flaws in our securities regulations IMO - that directors can get away with that...).
And that is why I alluded to a 'snake in the woods'
