I have been lurking on this stock for a while. What do people know about the management. All I know is that Alexander was a bad cookie. Lutfur doesn't seem to have a background in oil and gas. I wonder how a guy like him could have got the rights to the Sudan project in the first place. I know that when he rolled over State into Arakis he got 6 million shares which he showed as 6 seperate payments of 1million shares to different shell corporations. I assume that this way, he would not have to show/report sales when selling his shares through these other offshore holding co's. I wonder how many shares he sold when Arakis was flying to $26 a couple of years ago. Given this history, I am reluctant to invest in a company that has such poor management.

Any thoughts?
