what if he doesn't believe in the project? then would his five million shares be enough? what if he believed they're worth zero? then he'd try to milk his salary for all it's worth, wouldn't he? and that's what he's doing.

but if the new CEO showed him that the project was viable in ways he didn't see before, his shares would once again have value in his mind. then he'd want to jump on board and become truly wealthy. i see AE as being very shortsighted and a know-nothing about mining. i think a competent CEO would see ways of bringing this project to fruition that none of the other board members have thought of. i think most of the present bod are incompetent. let's just not make a big mistake that could cost us all.
