FP, if you look back to when JIIL took over the company Mr. Randolph was suddenly replaced with another VP of geology. No doubt the Chinese did not want any baggage.
Soon after that his ex-company was being sued with a wrongful dismissal suit, for I believe $150,000. Which according to their latest financials is still outstanding. The documents do not say who the individual is, however the bread crumbs lead to a certain strong assumption with the timing of events.
And it would be interesting to see that post again. Was he correct in his attack, and if so how did he know that information and where did he get it from. Or was it all a smoke screen directed from another individual who had sinister means to harm shareholder value. We may never know.
