Oh come on! CVG took no money? Sure sure. It has been established they took millions in bribes. Why do you think they kicked out the former administration? Dome got caught paying a 10 million dollar bribe in Kakahstan, that is why they cannot recover all their 35 million dollars there. Hint, hint. Look, people in Timmins started trying to acquire ground in Venezuela 15 years ago. It was impossible for small players to get title. It was obvious corruption ruled the roost and the delays were all about waiting for bribes to grease the wheels. Dome Mines had its original headquarters in Timmins Ontario where the Dome mine was found. It has run for 90 years here and was the cash cow that built Dome Pete and the mighty Dome empire. May directors speculate? The SEC has always said so. Why not? Lets face it. In order to exercise options you have to sell shares. what makes them any different than us? IF they WANT to take the undeniable risk and possibly go down with the ship they may. Or they may speculate like anyone else. You can sell your shares, so may they. Lie to us? Look they have told you all the facts. It is a court case. They do not know the outcome. If they did it would be heinous to sell shares. But they do not. I do not know how many shares they own right now. It may be a grand sum, it may be non. If I had options at 3.50 and held shares at 3.50 and lets say I knew/heard Dome mines was buying shares would I sell some to them at 7.00? Sure. It ain't illegal. The 3.50 options are a lot safer. Don't be a Pollyanna. A director is just a guy like you and me. He can take personal profits based on a level playing field and nothing is more level than not knowing the outcome of a court case. If you want him to take his entire personal fortune and bet long at these prices I would say you are asking a bit much. EC<:-}
