"We might have been much better off as a private company, or at least, we would have been able to raise the capital that the company needed to achieve its ambitions sooner"

Wow, first of all - kind of a scary statement as an investor. 

Secondly, that's a massive would have. Of course there are all kinds of possibilities of the roads not taken, and hindsight is 20/20. But Suresh and Tom have barely been able to get anyone to pick up their calls. Yikes all around from these guys. 

Anyway, thanks FJ and thanks Poet management (?) for at least communicating.
