If JE was serious about splitting the company , and I am sure he was, then it is a very hard work which is happening now. Serious accounting needs to be done, negotiations with Gang management, etc. That what I meant by "brewing", sorry if I was not clear enough. That work needs to be done now if LAC wants to apply for the government loan right after judge Du decision which is just 5 month away. 

LAC is like a good wine in a making:

Three main events which will happen in less then 6 month are brewing right now.

Then "aging"  in a barrel- another six month  to the year , dividing company and Nasdaq application, starting T-P .

Then "corking" - let it age another six month to the year in a bottle.

And finally opening up the bottle and enjoying it, that would bring us to 2025.
